To some of ya who left Sam cos of inactivity: TSE's activity really improved last months In the late 2015, it was hard to see an active server, it was mostly possible on weekends only (evenings). Nowadays is possible to play almost everyday and to see an active dm server with 8-10 (up to 14-16) players (or sometimes 2-3 servers with like 3-5 players). Same thing about coop servers, it's even more often active (predictable xD). I guess the reason is master server patch which was sticked to Steam version a few months ago; also, those who have non-steam / jewel version found the way how to play I meet some old nicknames again like JSaF, Spook, The Rain Man, Nobel, Fede, but most of new active players are newbies. How the hell they still do come in 2016 ? Nobody knows but that's damn good
Here are some proofs, thanks to Ostap for being able to watch it ! I'm not sure if it's only SE's or SE's & FE's but still ..

I don't doubt that the activity is still very low, but it's ok for such an old game and very close to the summer of 2014 when GameSpy worked for its last months And btw, TSE's activity > Revo's / SS 3's (only dm) / some new games like TOKIKK's acitivity. Unfortunately I don't have a time to play like before, but it's good to spend 30-60 mins per a day in this game again and enjoy as hell Especially when situations like this still happen
