I still have my original account at the US side, expensive job to keep all accounts upgraded with the goodies but the playerbase is way way bigger then EU side.
And btw not only Freedom, the others avarage are also bigger then defiant/union (ok defiant being serious small atm).
I just await the day they will merge it, in GW they said for years they wouldnt, but they eventualy did.

for GW, that's a bad thing, just llok at how much the europe side is used only to spam trades>_<

Not tryin to upset you all here but I found people on the US server to be a lot friendlier and a LOT more helpful to new players (my first account was US)
I'm not saying there aren't some great people over here its just the general mood over there seemed to be much friendlier.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yet several people who have tried to re-start on the US (_Damnz* notably) have said they found it a lot less friendly. So who is right?

Both and neither?

watch youtube, it's true
Its a wilderness out there, if you can survive and stand your ground, you are not worthy 
True warriors can handle their own on the US side, i enjoy it there
Better to fight in a wilderness then roam solely in a ghosttown

@MidnightGuard - on Union you may know me as:
Mr. Vile - Electroman X - Zenodorus - Battler
Naga Knight - Stinkspitter
OP, I don't see whats stopping you from playing on Freedom then. If its vet rewards then you have to decide what matters to you - vet rewards vs more players.
Please don't try and make us choose for you.

I guess we could have a vote on it, if he wanted us to?

I that case I vote go to Freedom if it makes you happy. I'm pretty sure you will hit 50 in a week if you really wanted too, what do a few missing vet attacks matter at lvl 50?

A week? Have you SEEN the state of their atlas at the moment? Their new thing is the hamidon powerlevel teams and omg they just dont shut up.
However one good/funny thing i have noticed is that they now advertise farm teams but when you join it turns out to be actual AE missions Sometimes its funny to see a persons reaction and just be evil.
Everybody knows this is the correct formula:
Freedom = Crazy and noobish PUGs nonstop
Virtue = Roleplaying PUGs nonstop
Every other US + EU server = A lot more organised and generally better players for doing so.
Edit: If you have been here for a long time then i do say try it out for at least a month, sometimes its good to see what the other side is like just to rekindle your love for your "home" place. Worked for me.
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
I don't have a problem with the EU servers, I would rather team with EU players. At least most of them have a basic understanding of game machanics.
Though I have seen some that make me want to face palm of late, I imagine they are tactical geniuses in comparison to some of the Freedom car crash teams.
Having a game segregated like CoX is with EU clients and US clients is old fashioned imo. Having servers located in both is fine for purposes of minimising server/client lag but it limits people's choice to play on one set or the other and it should be down to the player to decide which server(s) to play on even if the lag time would be increased.
Forums are supposedly merging EU and US so I hope that this move foreshadows a point when US servers are opened up to EU players and vice versa and perhaps at that time, if it's necessary, merging a few of the servers. It may not be a popular move at the beginning but it's inevitable that over time people will move on to other new MMO's and the CoX community will get smaller and without a merge people would soon get an idea of what a ghost town server really is.

They are. Seriously. Freedumb [which THEY the americans called it btw] just has far too many level 50 characters who know sod all about the game to be taken seriously. Now thats not to say there isnt excellent players on there because there are bound to be [some people just like to play in carcrash teams because it keeps things fresh/interesting] and you sound like the kind of player who at LEAST knows more than half that server does.
Seriously give it a try for a month and within a week or two post your results/feelings of the experience back here [if this account of yours still open] to help other fellow players. Can only be good for the playerbase since we'll have more players experiencing both sides of the ponds and sharing that information.

In this moment is low on US server, they are sleeping. i think.
freedom 275 villans and 405 heroes (union 93 villans and 186 heroes)
[/ QUOTE ]
Instead of comparing freedom try one of the other US servers as its been said over and over freedom is for whatever reason a over populated server
[/ QUOTE ]
Perhaps if there was an EU server called Aristocracy?
@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.

There was. You obviously missed the revolution when the server was deposed, taken outside, shot and buried in an unmarked shallow grave

That you dislike US people is your own problem, but its rather hypocritish to say only they have the tarts. At least there you still have options, here at the AE all i read is lvl1-10 peeps asking for exp, outside that you're pretty much on your own (defiant).
Again, i rather be put in a populated server and fight against the n00bs then sit around in a freaking empty server doing not except solo'ing my alts.
If people still think u need brains for this game, even against AV's this game is [censored]-easy, the handfull of TF's you need to think a bit you only do once in a blue moon and thats about it.
My US account hits 18 months soon, i know how US is and i know why i prefer that place. But since i have a 2 51's here and NCsoft is too retarted to even try getting new people on EU servers, i just sit and wait whenever they will do the merge.
And i know quite some tarts on the EU also, sadly due low playerbase, you meet them more often then u hoped for.

Added a bit on that for you.
I see people say this a lot. And I would like to remind these people that not everyone finds this game easy and can take on AVs. I can't and I still don't find everything in this game easy.
So please for the love of chocolate , remember that.

Again with the shouts of all there is to do are MA teams i wish i could get on one of these MA farm teams where i can just sit and drink in the XP but clearly there's something about my alts that prevent them getting a invite.
On Sunday i logged in with my mind/mind domi to test out the changes some more had just finished my cape mission and popped to Cap to sell some salvage when i get a /tell asking if i wanted to help with cape mission so i join up and do the 2 parts of the cape mission there was only 3 of us on the team but it was a lot of fun.
a little later i log on as my sonic/mind blaster do a bit of street sweeping in perz and then head to Atlas to clear inventory space while in atlas i didn't receive one random invite and i only seen mention of one MA team on broadcast (the channel definitely wasn't being spammed) and then i get a tell "want to come run paper missions in kings" so of i went to kings and spent a few hours with a large team (7 ish members) doing some paper missions and getting the jump pack.
In both instances i never went looking for a team i just had my status set as "will do anything" so saying that teaming is dead EU side and all there is is MA farms is wrong.
Of course I'm on union but i would think its cheaper to move to union than take out another account in the US

Um you do know that the US is a very big country...

Europe isn't exactly a small place either... All the EU Servers are like ghost towns compared to Freedom or any US server at non peak times. If it's a large player base your wanting, Freedom is the place to be.
