Always nice to see another European on these forums Animal, welcome to the US side of things!

All others: *tumbleweed* Yes, really, compared to Freedom/Virtue, the rest are deserted wastelands where people plan TFs on the forums rather than just pick and choose from the many willing PuG members who also want that TF. Infinity is OK, assuming you play blue and generally only play during peak time, otherwise, hope you like soloing!

I play on Victory, and only Victory. I have enough levels off Victory to maybe get 10 levels off them all combined.
I run one or two TFs during the week every week. I play 1-4 TFs a day during my days off. They're all random, unscheduled PUGs, either from my coalition's channel, or one of the Victory Badge channels. I turn down a handful of TF invites from friends each week, and ignore several dozen TFs that I'm not interested in.
And Victory is usually in the third or fourth from top position. Remember that the SLOWEST servers are at the top.
Granted, 75% or more of those TFs are heroside. Getting on a villain TF is tougher, unless you start it yourself, then it usually fills quickly.
Yes, I do like soloing, but it's rare I have to when I want a team.

Remember this advice is for someone who may very well be gracing our servers at the wee hours of the American night, as was said, if not made clear enough.
Some servers really are barren wastelands at those hours - at least in my redside experience. I know that red vs. blue can make a difference, but when I have whole zones to myself redside, I can't image that blueside on the same server "must really be jumpin'".

I work graveyard shifts. My hours of wakefulness tend to coincide with the Europeans'.

Welcome back, AM! If we can avoid a flaming/bashing session I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on CoX vs WoW.
Come visit us on Infinity. We have cookies!
Y'know...the GOOD kind. Not like those other servers.

I guess I can't refute that then!
I work graves too and have lately been thinking of escaping the constant gobble-gobble-gobble on Freedom, maybe I'll have to look into Victory.
I will mention that my "normal play hours" come after work, so it's in the wee hours to midmorning. The afternoon crowds I run into on days off are far larger. But it's not too odd for me to get home at 8am (5am EST) and hop on a team.
Join "Victory Badges 2009" if you do come to visit us!

Ummhhhh... Cookies. I'll ping you a PM about WoW.
Currently having some "issues" logging. Nice to see some things never change. 
@Lisar, thanks downloading the .exe now - fingers crossed.
@Jack_Power, Ipswich Town FC I'm afraid. Been "up north" for ten years but still follow the Blue Army.
Welcome to America.
Good luck leaving.

That doesn't really MEAN anything, I just felt like saying something slightly ominous.
But in all seriousness, if you don't like RP, don't go to Virtue. We're mostly nice over there (as long as you avoid The Pocket D), but us RPers hang out there like a plague. Not always visible, but always around... somewhere.
I would avoid Freedom, simply because it is frequently impossible to log on there during events.
Try Liberty, or Guardian. My dad plays mainly on Guardian, and it has a very good population. Liberty, my old home, is also fairly good.
