How does a server less than two weeks old go from rank of 1500+ to 375?
Maximum of 16 players one day , rest of the time low.


PS how you been burn?

Good, how are you?

Rank is determined on a view of the past month. The most recent week or so plays a bigger role in calculation of the rank so that the ranks more accurately define the current popularity of the server.

So if it is a new server and there are a couple of idlers (I understood bots don't count) in full time for a couple of weeks that might cause the rank to climb fast?

ie: http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/72.5.152.80:16567/

if you look month players almost none but rank has increased dramatically.

It just didn't make any sense to me!

Bots do not count towards rank. It will climb rank fast past any server it is more popular than.
