The pilot releases the drop tanks to clear for action. As the twin silvery eggs tumble into the soft clouds below, the Mustang banks gently left and then right again, sliding in behind the unsuspecting enemy fighter. This one will be a sitting duck!
The thumb eases up the safety cover. The fingers, slightly sweaty in the pressure-suit glove, fold carefully over the trigger. As the range closes rapidly, the wings of the target grow to fill the circle of the gunsight. A slight rudder adjustment...the pipper is just leading the target...no deflection, an easy shot...the trigger finger begins to squeeze....

Little known fact but fluoxetine is in fact derived from an organic precursor similar to bufotenine, made from dried frogs. So you're both right.

Server transfer, while oft requested and wanted, is currently out of the reason due to a variety of variables.

Then you're doing it wrong. If I can find or form a team whenever I want on Protector, and see TF's forming at all times of the day, including several forming at the same exact time on occasion, then there is ZERO reason why you can't do the exact same thing on a busier server like Freedom or Virtue.|

* Use the team search tools.
* Join an active SG.
* Use your server's global channels. (These can be found in your server section here on the forum)
* Form your own teams.
* Make friends in-game. Find other players that like doing what you do, and global friend them.

On the internet, it's a little different.
The OP makes a suggestion that has a number of flaws, and perhaps is based on a false assumption.
Responders point out the flaws.
OP gets unhappy and hurls insults (or something that looks like it was intended to be. The counting to 100 thing is meaningless gibberish.), refusing to see the errors in his theory.
Responders try to show the OP what he refuses to see. "You can lead a horse to water...."
I think that online, "You can catch more flies with manure, than with honey or vinegar."

So the fact that I have had to turn down people asking to join my mission team every night for the past three nights due to my team being full means a dead server right? And the fact that I can pretty much get a TF if I sneeze sideways also means a dead server I suppose?
Here's a funny, but related and true story: The other day I was doing an ITF. After Romulus died the last time and we took to the towers to finish off the Cimeroran Traitors I looked at one of my global channels to see the following (names changed of course, and paraphrased a little).
Randomguy: Anything going on?
Randomguy: This server is so DEAD. OMG this game is dying!
This was followed by several people in the channel basically asking him "lol what?". Because we didn't ALL drop what we were doing and instantly respond with "Randomguy! OMG JOIN MAH TEAMZ!" Our server is dead. Yeaaaah......sure. Never once did it occur to this little fellow that maybe people didn't instantly respond because they were busy doing things.
Oh and by the way, I play on Liberty, not Freedom. One of the servers I have seen people describe as dead. Let me assure you, it is very much alive.

I wouldn't merge servers but at times I think it would be nice to have a free server transfer to leave some of the more inactive servers.
But then they would need to make it so you could move your allocated purchased character slots and a system to allow you and your sg to move without losing all of that hard earned prestige.
Not likely to happen though...
Id wait until going rogue is released before making any changes. Because it will probably revive some of the lower populated servers.

Those are the actions players take when they encounter people with the OP's insulting attitude. I've even been on a couple pugs and seen someone get kicked when he/she showed up and someone told the leader that they had that player 1 starred for some reason.

How about those who would prefer to leave the more populated servers? BTW, those "inactive" servers aren't particularly 'inactive," thanks.
