I'm trying to figure out how this works......

One of my servers is a 28 player server. I've figured out that only 25% of your server's capacity can be reserved for pvt slots. But, even when I have several members that are on the private slot list playing on the server it will still only allow 21 players on the server.

Are there special characters that are not allowed that may be messing up my list? Should I put quotation marks around their names?

Any help, or a good description of how this works would be appreciated.

Found the problem.

In EA's wisdom, they created the reserved slots. However, when a player joins that is on the username list but the server is not full they take up a public slot rather than a private one.

Example.
If you have a 32 person server with 5 reserved slots.

Should be 27 public and 5 private right? Not to EA!

Say the player "Joe" is on the list and joins when there are 15 people playing on the server. You would assume now there are 12 public slots available and 4 private right? Nope.....There are 11 public and 5 private.

The problem comes in when ( in this example) you have 27 players on your server including 5 that are on your reserved slot list. Your server will never populate over 27. That is unless your players on your reserved slot list wait to join after there are already 27 players online then the 5 of them hop on, that is the ONLY way your server will ever go to capacity.
