This I can believe.

Its trivially easy to screen out people you have no wish to team with via player notes. A feature I happily use extensively in order to make my own game play experience much better.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, when was that post made 2004, about Freedom
HAHAHAHA i am on freedom, lag spikes near market, and busy broadcasts

O your funny, i have not seen One of these,

i have Seen none of this , its a ghost time during nite time

you guys are living in the past, , am glad how some of you have friends, but news players see ghost towns, and

ALL you people who wanted AE nerf, congrats,

you have Killed new players leveling,
and have the Balls, to say, Leave our game, their countless newbs left to riot in ghost towns with NO ONE ON to do missions with

read that again
new players can't find mission teams during anytime but prime time

wake up and smell the decay, i guest people just like being jerks and ********

also think very careful of my next words

if this game all about alts,
then why the hell would i want to make a alt, face ghost towns, and have to do the same old content, over and over by my self

AE made leveling Alts better, you cryed, whined and taken it away

i have no motive to make alts, its hard as hell just to get my main in groups, SENSE their no groups going on in the first place

god you people jus't don't get it

let players do whatever they want, if everyone wants to hang in AE, let them, all the jerks got their wish of AE death,

and now their no REAL player base of any great numbers to support people doing their missions, congrats, your stupid is killing the game

i cant fix stupid, you just have to learn the hard way, mark my words, if something is not done fast, the decay will only get faster and faster, to their none thing left but small hand full of you on each server

i guest i just keep on playin, looking for these groups "hiding all over the world", doing all the content, sense it seems, you think thats whats going on LMAO

AE pugs rocked, thanks for murdering it , and replacing it with...............
, a ghost town, you are all smart to think your helping this game by killing the pop and bashing people wanting Just to find a group
either your City_Life or some 12 yr old who stayed home from schoole sick and is mad because everyone is working or didn't stay home from school to play with you. now, without trying to get myself banned, you are a ******* moron and need to grow up. before you post a 2yr olds whiney, crybaby post, read some of the other threads and take in some of the information that is there. also, making posts like this only turns you into forum fodder. all i can say is good luck in whatever you choose to do now as you probably just got yourself a one way ticket to perma-ban land. c-ya.

Or perhaps just start a few new AT's to play there during the night. Then when your own server awakes go back.
It is your line of thinking that is detrimental to the smaller servers. Shame on you . If you stay there, they will come, but if you leave, it will not leave a good impression on others that log in.

i find that funny as i was on my lv 31 fire/kin corr last night on Freedom from 10 pm til 5:30 am and had no problem teaming. in fact they were all blind invites that came to me. i didn't have to ask once.

Or you just need to sit down and THINK for a bit on HOW to use the systems given to you rather than q.q.

Have you actually done a Search on each zone to see how many are where?

Are you going to try to follow any of the adviced given to you?

I mean c'mon. It sounds like you're standing in Atlas and nobody is inviting you when all you're doing is standing around. I don't know if that's what you're doing, but it sounds like it.

Get around and explore the City. There are hundreds of interesting things to see once you venture forth.

And what is it with all these new DOOM criers that don't know how to spell or use capitalization?

I'm not a grammar nazi or anything, but do they purposefully type like a child? Because that's usually how they sound in their posts anyway so I guess they like to go the whole method acting route for our enjoyment.

I would not be surprised if it is the same doom crier, just on different accounts. Text patters, spelling errors, and general flow of the posts match up very well.

I wouldn't discount this statement by the OP so quickly. There have been players that I have known over the years in CoH/V that have felt much the same way and because of this have left and not returned to the game. Many servers and parts of this game are ghost towns -- I'm sorry that's the truth of it. Whether teaming for instanced missions or in exterior game environment it is like that on many of the servers. I stop playing on some of the servers I started out on because of this as well. I admit that I do solo most of the time, but I do like to team sometimes and on some servers that is very difficult to do.

I don't know if merging servers is the answer because there is a segment of the player base that like low populated server and there's nothing wrong with that, It does seem; however that we here have quite a few low populated servers!

I even have a guide in my signature that will show you how to form your own teams EASILY at any time of day on any server.

True Coming Storm, but there are also unofficial RP servers is it not? Where everybody who likes to RP come together.

If everyone who is eager and willing to team go to the "unofficial past midnight server" then they could easily find a fun night of playtime. When they sit on their home server, they will just grow bored and restless. And that is not helping anybody at all. We are all here to have fun, if that means that during slow hours we all should flock together so be it.

Search isn't a good tool to find out how many people are online. A large portion of the playerbase use the hide feature to avoid people that spam RMT, PL requests, AE farms etc.

It's also September. The population always dips this time of year as people reschedule their lives around school starting.

Also we've had a minor dip while people try out their free 30 days of CO, or they participate in Aion's beta testing, I've even seen some CoH players trying out DDO now that it's free to play.

Nothing unusual has happened with the games population. There hasn't been a drop in subscriptions.

Let's see....I have toons on all but Infinity and Protector now, and cycle between them....I play between 10 PM and 8 AM PST...and I have rarely been unable to find a team when I wanted one. Those few times when I couldn't find a team I'd solo a mission or two and look again, and get on one then.

Nor have I ever played without getting team invites regularly when I wasn't looking for a team.

Not always full 8-man teams, though never less than 5 unless a bigger team had started breaking up and those of us left didn't bother looking for replacements.

This remained true throughout the AE heyday. So I do discount the OP's statements.

It's posts like these that make me an optimist; because I know that under the nearest rock or moss-covered stone is a smarter, more-sentient lifeform.

My eyes hurt just from trying to read that unintelligible blather.

i have a feeling that City_Life will keep bothering us no matter how much he says he wants to stay away. that's the beauty of trial accounts i guess.
