Speaking as someone in Kiev Airport and having 0 play time over the double xp weekend so not upset that I cant get on I find it rediculous that there isnt a queue system to allow players to at least start the process of getting on once the cap has been reached

This attitude is, frankly, why I play elsewhere. This is the on-server attitude I experienced when I tried to start a character on Freedom.
Ah well, to each his/her/its own, I guess. I'm not a big-city person IRL either.
Here's something that I'm surprised by. Everyone here is making the assumption that there are people randomly getting DC'd and other "overloaded server" type things, and that the play quality with the "higher" player number cap is bad. There have generally been 3-4 RWZ's all weekend. I've seen as few as 3 and as many as 5 Grandvilles spawned. Nearly the same story with Peregrine Island with a minimum of 3 and a max of 5. Now, what exactly do you think all those people are doing there? They likely aren't having connection issues if people I know on dial up aren't with the capped server loads.
That's where our attitude saying that there's PLers, influence, and lewt farmers taking up our spaces on Freedom. Have any of you not on Freedom seen this type of thing? Think you might be a little angry if you saw those numbers of zones created while you couldn't log back in?
If you want to point and laff at the players who don't want to take the 30 to 90 seconds it takes to click into and back out of servers to make Freedom accessible, go for it. Most of us regulars are too. Try taking a look at the situation (which you honestly have no first hand knowledge of) and seeing it for what it is. Those zones average 2 instances a piece and sometimes 3 during regular prime time playing periods. Seeing those zones create second instances instead of Atlas, Steel, Kings Row, Galaxy, or the Hollows is what sets us off. About the only time those zones spawn a second instance now is when one of the other servers crashes and their players join Freedom for a bit with new toons that they don't PL.
*Edited because I realized I'd inflated the number of GV's because I was writing fast.
I'm shocked at the number of people who have nothing better to do then come to Freedom boards and lecture it's players. If you don't play on Freedom then GTFO.
I can't believe how many people just say go somewhere else. First of all the majority of Freedom plays there for the community, be it friends or SGs but why would you leave your community? If you are established in a community you've played with (in a lot of cases for over a year) why would you want to leave? I feel sorry that so many people are getting a gaming experiance totally different then mine. Where you are willing to abandon you community for xp. 90% of the reason I log on is the players not my charracters.
And the point of double xp weekend isn't to just get double xp for fun. It's to get it on a toon thats stuck or one you really want to level up.

This attitude is, frankly, lawl. You guys come in and talk mess and when it is shot back you hold up your care bear cards. I speak not in specifics, but of all the non natives in general. This is Freedom's turf so if you wanna play ball here, you gotta play by our rules. If you want a shoulder to cry on, go back to your third world server. Your visa has been revoked. Buh Bye.

Geez, with your wonderful attitude toward the other servers it really is a wonder as to why those of us not-on Freedom don't give a crap about your 2X XP weekend. </sarcasm>
Seriously, I read "ghost town" comments all the time on these boards, and Freedom stuff like "We're the best server... blah blah blah... we have the best players... blah blah blah..." Good for ya, I say. Come on over to Triumph, we've been green alllllll weekend with no shortage of teams.
Please note that I'm not saying that having your server fill up doesn't suck, I'm just annoyed at the post I quoted because it's so typical of elitist idiots who like to puff themselves up, then whine whine whine when their little world doesn't go like they think it should.

Hiya, sticking my head in from Virtue just to say this [censored] SUCKS.
I have characters on Freedom too, but jeez, if it's your home server, you want to be able to play on it. Anyone who's pissed off about the current situation has a perfect right to be, and anyone taking drive-by lulz shots at the residents has to be getting some pretty cheap laughs. Without getting too touchy-feely here, MMOs are all about community, and your home server is where your damn community is. Being able to get on to it for a special event matters. That's [censored] elementary.
I hope they give you guys an extra couple of days of double XP for this. They did it for some of the Euro servers once, so it's feasible.

Except for the fact this is EXACTLY what you have done with the caps... Ironic, isn't it?

let the fanboys get their laughs. I'm still getting in both servers, and their servers will go back to being wastelands compared to virtue and freedom post-event anyway.

Ham, your poetry is not for the feint of heart. Your warped minds use big words and jumble them all together and some people can't understand it sometimes. Hell, I have to put up with you everyday and sometimes I don't understand you. You are one in a million Ham, or should it be a million voices in one mind?
Don't let it get you down, really. Your sense of humor is on that same warped plane of existence that your minds is. The people that know you, love you for it and that's all that matters.

Random thought. Considering how many people have to be on Freedom in the first place to cap it, and how easy it seems to get in with a little work, I'm wondering how many people are actually being prevented from playing. I saw Freedom locked once after I logged out and logged back in just to see if it was locked. I've gotten in a decent amount of play time on a number of my guys this weekend. And yet, people are calling it 0x exp weekend. Crying doom left and right. Complaining about the cap. Throwing all the more hate at PLers/farmers. The amount of sheer hate that is being tossed around in this forum doesn't really ballpark what's been happening in game for me.
