Whatever happened to the community?

No I am not trapped here you are correct

But having invested over 1300 hours on my main who has over 550 badges. Not to mention nearly 39 months of Vet rewards I do not want to leave him behind. Let alon my other toons that have had just as much care and attention lavished on them.

If I could take them with me I would.

At this moment in time there are 531 people on freedom and got a team invite within 10 seconds Now that is populated if you ask me. More than both English speaking Hero servers population on just one of the yanks forums.

Let me move my account and i am gone with at least a dozen people I know that would move.

Would gladly wave bye to the EU and yes let the door hit me on the way out. I would be upset if it didn't.

Question: If there was nobody about to hear a door slam, would it make a noise?

Numbers say it and personal expeirence backs it up, but hey let me hold the sheet music for you.

Only the people in the Forum it seems.

Well, you're not actually trapped here, you know

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes we are.

We can't take our toons with us - therefore they ARE trapped.

I await your apology.

So I'm expected to lose 4 years worth of Vets - Vets I've worked & paid for.

Sounds more like castration.

I have sources of information

And if Pinnacle has 117 on right now, does that mean Union is twice as good as an American server?

Could be. We are British after all. But - numbers don't lie (unless you spin them) and the some US servers have more players then ours for long periods of the day.

If your going down that road, lets take the time difference into effect shall we..Here on this side of the pond we are getting into the peak time of play for this game, while over the other side we talking 5+ hrs behind so middle of the work day or earlier depending on coast so why not check back on those numbers when its Pinnacles peak playing time!!

Sure - that'll be a very Euro-friendly 4 o'clock in the morning

The only thing that matters about comparing transatlantic population numbers is peaktime your time.
American peak-time will be in the middle of the night for anyone in Europe - the population of the American servers between, say, 17:00 and 22:00 your time is all that really counts.

And if we were what sort of numbers would we be seeing in the US? 900+??

But GG the point is being made that it isnt a busy time. Yet the population is approaching EU levels already.

Is that too hard a point to comprehend. If peak time is at 4am it will be really busy then but in non peak times it is still busier than our servers.

That wasnt too dificult now was it?

We've had this discussion before:

Freedom and Virtue are anomolies, most US servers are comparable to the UK ones. Peak time numbers on US servers are irrelevant to the majority of EU players, as they don't play at US peak times.

And I personally have very little trouble getting teams, on Defiant, which if you listen to some people is empty.

On Freedom, quite possibly - on the others, not so likely.
Freedom is not a typical American server

Not said empty. Just not as busy. Merging all servers together would benefit the player base across all servers, and reduce overheads for the tech people.

would be nice to just have one anomolly on the EU servers let alone 2.

I can get a team on defiant when I build them but it is more a case of see who is about and make do with SKs and stuff. So you may be right but I would like to be in a populated area thanks.

But it is a busy time for you - for Euro players, right now is peak-time, and right now, the Euro servers are out-scoring almost all the American ones population wise.

But then - I would guess that some of those servers are under populated - therefore they could not be considered typical

That would still leave the average ones with similar numbers to the Euro servers at Euro peak-time
