Actually, I am on Central Standard Time. Would usually log in around 11pm, and the numbers would be over 100 (Remember the good old days when they would be over 200). Depending which map it was, I would stay or just say forget it, not worth the bother.
To be fair, it was the same way with the old version of the game as well in the last year or so. Some maps just were not worth logging onto due to the decrease in players playing.
