Well I think y'all are getting out of hand. Were just talkin, and Im not trolling. This forum needs the patience of the guy sweeping cigs at Disneyworld. Sound strange?! Ill explain.

Disneyworld in Orlando hires people dirt cheap. I mean not even $10 an hour. They do house and feed alot of students though. The point is for such meanial pay the cig sweeper has incredible patience. He's asked on average 63 times a day where Space Mountain is. Every single time he answers politely with the directions. Thats not a patience thru great character, but simply knowing each person really doesnt know.

I didnt know this topic was beat to death. So be like the cigarette sweeper at Disneyworld kids!

Come on! Look, all you have to do is search for all the other posts on this subject to see all of the reasons for and against this suggestion. You will plainly see that the reasons against this far out number the reasons for it.

So just stop rustling everyones feathers. We all can see that you are clearly not reading/comprehending what has been explained to you multiple times in this thread.

Do you have a larger version of McCanibal?

Well, I mean - there are only 12 of them to start with. What they should really do is encourage population on servers outside of Freedom and Virtue.

Encouragement should probably start with changing how a new player perceives the servers. High population servers like Freedom and Virtue should show up in a different color - maybe a dull gray or black text, and the others should be made to stand out more.

Beyond this, maybe allow x1.5 Influence on other servers. When the population balances out some, then shut the spigot off.

No. Inf is already nearly worthless, save in a couple instances, as it is.

Not to mention that the biggest place to spend inf is on the Auction Houses, which happen to be cross server. So the extra inf from one server will quickly find itself on another since transfering inf from server to server isn't much of a problem.

There would be no incentive to change servers at all.

I do not support any suggestion we be able to read other posters' minds because I believe it would lead to deep embarrassment for all parties involved.

Am I worthy?

And to be on topic...

I don't want to lose a third of the characters I have because someone else doesn't want to take the time to actually form a team of their own...or is to lazy to move to a more populated server.

I have at least 6 characters on 9 servers. 4 servers have at least 12 characters and 2 have more, all on one account. If I lose any of them, I stop paying for both accounts I own.

Which of your characters would you like to lose, Tongo?

To sum up: Dis thot iz knot gud!

Quite honestly I've asked for this before or to allow people to do free server transfers including transferring a solo SG with them or its prestige.

Something just occurred to me. Since "servers" is countable, shouldn't that be "fewer servers?" "Less," from what I remember of my English education, should be used with uncountable nouns, such as, say, "water" or "space."

Or have I just forgotten?

No, you're dead on (like how people lie, things lay, and all that), but someone already mentioned it earlier in the thread. First five pages maybe? I'm too lazy to look it up and check, to be honest.

[/ QUOTE ] It bothers me that you seem to have a better understanding of the English than I do. I grew up in the U.S. and I'm a smart guy. I should have studied better.

The funny thing is I actually learned the bulk of my English off these very forums. I like to rub that in the faces of people who claim you can never learn anything useful on the Internet and that games are just a waste of time. I actually honestly have you guys to thank for the language skills I have. I'm not sure what level I would be at if I hadn't taken root on these forms, as it were, as I slept... Literally SLEPT through my last two years of high school education, and University English education in a Mathematics degree sucks so bad it isn't even funny.

And, yeah. Sorry about repeating the remark. I kind of skipped from page two or three all the way over to the end, because with the OP's attitude, I didn't feel the thread would be a very interesting read.

Ok what if they suspended people from making toons on Freedom and Virtue for a couple months. I mean damn...theyre filled! Seriously there really wouldnt be any harm or fowl, and the other servers do need a boost

.... You know that the same PEOPLE play on different servers, right?

That's why they CAP Freedom during events, first so it doesn't blow a gasket, and second so that people will PLAY on those other servers too!

I don't think you really understand what you want here. The thread title implies you DO want servers to be packed like Freedom, and now you're all "but there are so many!"... DUH. That's what the point is we've been trying to say. Medium and low population and load servers are MORE FUN for a lot of us, because we don't get as bad lag, we have more access to names we want, etc - your argument against keeping "all" the servers open is utterly opposite of what you just posted.

[/ QUOTE ]Dude, think about it for a minute. Your buddy has been harping about this really great game for, like, YEARS, trying to get you to just come try it. He'll help you get started, giving you a bunch of influence and helping you level up so you can join him on raids and stuff with all his buddies and they got this really cool base and everything!

So you've finally given in. You've downloaded and installed the game, you sat through the HUGE update download, and now you've got him on the phone as you're creating your first character.

"Okay, so now I'm supposed to pick a server? Which one are you all on?"

"Freedom."

Maybe he meant to say fowl. Are you implying the servers will be overrun with chickens if they lock people from making toons on freedom?
