Found an interesting thing this week. Haven't had much work lately on so been just monitoring the dtk servers quite early in the day... I've noticed no one connects until someone else does (catch 22).. Whenever I connect regardless of if it's as early as 10am or today at 1pm, within a few minutes of me connecting someone else joins. Then after 30mins or so I find there's at least a 2v2 happening. I dunno if this would turn into more players/donations since users that may usually play on other servers will see our active server (while other servers are not especially really early in the morning) and join.
We will see
