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.

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.

I wasnt saying the entire US playerbase was, i was talking about a specific server which is well known on both the EU and US side of things to be the more "noobish". Like i said in my post you quoted, i KNOW there are good players on that server [i had a good conversation with two very smart players in their atlas last night] but they ARE in the minority on a server that is filled with powerlevelled level 50s.
We might think this game is easy as hell [which it is in comparison to most games], but as a new player it isnt. Having to learn everything from toggles/endurance management/difference between def + resis/enhancements etc takes time.
AS an almost 48 month vet i find the majority of the game so easy i could do it with my mind closed, but i havent even experienced the whole deal of the game.
I know some very VERY unfriendly [or in your words, tarts] players in the EU too [some of which i think are just smart [censored] bullies] and i never ever say that we are the model playerbase. I say that we have a larger percentage of nicer people and a more community feel to us [ask around, people do say that!].
In regard to only hearing level 1 - 10s asking for PL in the AE, have you ever thought of well you know . . . . setting some sort of activity up yourself? It takes next to no time and no effort what so ever, people that complain that there isnt anything to do are the ones too lazy to do anything about it! Stop expecting people on this side of the pond to invite you to teams and do something about it [thats the kind of tone i got from your reply].
Finally as was stated above, i kept saying that everything was in MY opinion and even then i suggested that he go and try it out for a while just to see if he liked it or not since you can only go by other peoples experiences for so long.

@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
More people equals more idiots, but it still also leaves more sensible people.
Roll on and merge the servers.
I dont care what anyone says, 100 people on a server after a new issue, at peak time is not a healthy population.

You chose to swap to Europe as many of us did (You'd have to have, being a "54 veteran" - you were told at the time it was one way only).
Your choice. No one else's.
Excellent weekend thread, dear chap. Thanks.

Not quite - the transfer from US to EU was a character copy - his account will still be there - only needs to be reactivated.

wooo from Londoner 
Just add the servers on the list with the US, if you wanna stay.. stay. If you want to transfer? Go transfer. But at least give the choice, rather then being stuck in a basicly dying server.

Hmmmmm, tried that about 15 months ago and got no takers to join, so not that easy... thankfully though, got an invite to another SG about a year ago and disbanded that SG. Was the best move I ever made. Great people, great players, and rarely a shortage of teams!
So rather than forming an SG, just try joining a good (active) one!

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?
*Seems to change he name all the time.

I played over there for a while. Found it Ok. The main problem I had was the fact that the time I played (around 10pm) was mid-afternoon / early evening over there and a lot of the playerbase seemed to be relatively young.
The Freedom Villain PuGs were a sight to behold too, most of the time seemed to be spent outside a mish waiting for the leader to find the full 8 people for the team. There was little chance of starting a mish without 8 people. Standing outside a mission dancing got pretty boring to be honest. Some awesomely bad Car Crash teams as well. Still, I'd happily join the same sort of team on Union rather than all the soloing I've been doing. Think my newest Brute has only managed 1 team in his 2 weeks of playing most evenings, and that was a duo.
Played Virtue Heroes a wee bit too and that was fun. Biggest issue was the lag I got on it. Although Union isn't exactly a slouch in the lag department either.
