Redside has always had extremely low populations regardless of server.

ORLY? But this logic everyone and their moms should be out doing missions. Oh wait, they aren't. Hey let me check the black market, which is usually also packed. Hey only 4 people there. I guess everyone found magical cave somewhere to stay.
Exactly! The magic cave you are referring to are called MISSIONS! Guess what? Players can't recieve messages posted in zone broadcast while inside a mission!

Hey I already paid for the month. I'll prob log in and out. Maybe sub to WoW again/play Guildwars if I'm forced to solo in this game. But if you think the pop is the same or higher as it was 6 month ago, you're delusional.
You need to work on your reading comprehension. We have already explained several times why there is a drop in the number of players online this time of year.

Ah, you misunderstood me. I was not referring to the in-game 'ignore' function. I just meant that I would have disregarded (i.e. not replied to) your broadcast.

It sounds like a population that's decided you're much too thick & annoying to bother replying to.

And who can blame them?

Actually assuming his comments about the AE being empty and his leaving 6 months ago are correct, he was probably one of the many AE babies that was thrown on peoples ignore lists when they got sick of all the AE farm spam messages.

If that assumption is correct then he could easily have been pre-ignored months ago. After all he was playing redside and it's much easier for someone to get ignored by everyone when the population is so much smaller to begin with.

I play on Freedom. Didn't see server load go above green last night or today, on a weekend.

AE in Cap which was completely packed before I left ~6 months ago had 2 people in it both afk.
Doesn't look good.
So why is it that I see teams and TF/SF's being formed all the time on my server? Why is the BM not empty on little ol' Protector, if it is so devoid of life on Freedom, as you claim?

Either you have terrible luck, it's all a huge coincidence, or you are wildly exaggerating. Care to guess which one I think is most likely?

Also if the game is as underpopulated as a few rare individuals are claiming why did the devs feel it was necessary to implement a new login queue to handle server overpopulation? A barren wasteland doesn't need to make people wait to login and play.

A last desperate attempt to fool people into thinking that there's more than 3 people on any server at one time?

OF COURSE! Now it seems so obvious, how could I have been so blind. And those 6 pugs I got invited to yesterday were all just Moderator 08 power gaming his numerous accounts to support the illusion.



KAHN!

I suspect the devs have implemented a series of fiendishly clever bots into the game that just simulate being the other players on all those TF teams I keep getting invited to.

Before AE often Broadcast was dead, relative to how active it was after AE first hit the scene.

Broadcast is zone only. If you are looking for particular level players broadcasting in a zone of that level range could provide better results.

SSK plus enhance difficulty settings allow regular missions to offer similar XP and inf benefits that AE use to provide. Only drawback, if you call it that, is recipe and salvage drops are random instead of skee-ball tickets which one can trade in for recipes and salvage of your choice.

Nah, it was me. I was 3,482-boxing, just to see if I could.
