Is it worth it running a Unreal server now?

Hi All
It's Anarchy again
I just wanted to know if any of you guys think it's worth it hosting an Unreal server for the game in it's current condition which is a good amount of servers but few players
I was running a co-op server 24/7 for Unreal for about a week but I stopped it because no one was playing on it and the map hadn't even changed in 3 days.
So what I'm basically saying is, is it worth it to start it again or will I not bother?
I'd appreciate any advice you guys have for me on this.
Regards,
Anarchy

Yes and no.
Yes because it helps the community.
No because no one uses it half the time.
So basically whichever choice you make will probably have no worthwhile or negative effects.

So a it's neither good or bad?
Yeah it's a tough choice alright. I could always host a server for another game but I don't know another game that has the same feel as you get from Unreal.

lol,
Yeah I hate to say it but pickledegg's server isn't doing too well. As for my server I may or may not host it again.
Haven't made my mind up...yet.

it can be seen that well maintained and good setup servers (not only plain default) are visited quite well. Especially for coop there are quite a lot of campaigns which can be played.
So it may be worth it.

Actually, there are no plain default servers, although I wish there were... Of course, more maps is always good, but mods get old after a while.

well maintained and not plain default doesn't mean necessarily with zounds of mods.
Indeed I prefer to play new/different campaigns as "default" coop but with very high difficulty. Since 227 offers difficulty levels 4,5,6 its an entirely new challenge. Also with http redirect it only takes seconds instead of hours to download them. This way it makes fun again
I also think 6 is only beatable in coop and not in single
