Conquest Small or Large does seem to be very popular.

LOL Reflux,

I was going to add something unproductive to the convo until you posted that. I was thinking the same thing noting, we aren't alone with this topic.

I hate to harp on the subject, but since it was brought up by not_me. I know I'm not innocent, but...

Do you think this may contribute to the server population problem as much or more?

We've tried, multiple times. I'd say 75% of the time it doesn't get full or near full. The thread just indicates we aren't alone, others struggling with the same thing.
With new DLC, I think you try a change to the new DLC only, see if you get traffic right off. If not go back to non-DLC until later.

Based on this I would start with Domination on vanilla maps. At 8-10 players start to DJ in some DLC maps (Domination & Rush). At 16 players switch to Conquest Large & Obliteration on all maps.

I would also suggest to disable the Map Voting plugin when FSK members are DJ, so it doesn't get derailed onto something that will empty the server, like Defuse or Squad Deathmatch..
