Open World Pvp. NO.
Open World where heroes and villains can cross back and forth sure.
But not like we are getting an expansion soon that allows this . . . oh wait. 
Uh, yeah. The list is truncated whenever it gets more than 50 hits. All you have to do is search by level or AT and you should get everyone in that level range or AT (up to 50 characters). Its not a bug.

Hum... Well, as said Going Rogue will fix that for us, in the "open world" discussion.
And PvP in this game totally sucks... I totally suck in PvP in the other games I´ve tried, but the system on this one is outrageous.
For the PvE with PvP on stuff... Have you tried to get Shivans when people who actually desire to PvP are on the Zone? That´s extremely annoying... And would be that way with whole world open to that. Flagging is terible too (check the combo explanation on the other post).
WOW is that big for several reasons, most of them commented on one post or another around here. One of them nobody tought about is because the majority of some servers are made from asian teen nerds that have no social skills on RL so they spent ALL their free time in the game. Have you (generic you) bothered to check how many Chinese and Indian people are in the world? (BTW: I don´t think ALL people from those country are like that or that ALL WOW players are like that either... I´m no hater. And sadly I was a teen nerd with no social skills until i graduated from High School... lol)
I think a server merger with Eu could turn out to be interesting... But would create some more language problems. Some people have trouble learning english, and I don´t think they would have fun being ignored because they don´t speak it..
And on other hand... English is not my main language, but I try my best to write properly.
Just to finish, to put some enphasis on it... PvP in CoH really sucks.

Not to mention that the number of players who log on and off probably changes every 30 minutes or sooner. |
] but only display 50 names.

I'm a veteran EU player (over 54 months) and I spend the vast majorty of my time on /hide. I watch sals badgehunters and defiant events channels and if somthing interesting comes up I will join.
I'm probably not the only player that does this. I don't know if /sea is really a good indicator of anything.

which doesn't support the doomcriers argument, since they have no idea how many people are using /hide. |

Going by global channels i'd say Champion is still quite active most weekday evenings and weekends, and it rarely falls into the top 5 in terms of load. |
/sea only shows players that are non-hide, but the problem isn't here.
It's just like if NCSoft was saying "We have more than 3 millions french suscribers, that all play on Vigilance". Ok, let's admit that it's true (even if it obviously isn't).
What does it change for me? I still can't find a team if I play before 8 pm or after 12 am, PvP zones are still empty, etc...
So maybe there are 500 players using hide on Vigilance, but since they're on hide, and I can't find them to play with them, why would it matter? Yeah, maybe they'll send me a tell to maybe invit me to a possible arena or whatever they want... but too bad for me, it never happened in the past year.
If I can't find anyone to play with me, that's a problem when I play MMO. No matter how many players there might be.

I admit it

I know there's at least one Brazilian SG out there that caters to the players that are both bilingual and monolingual on the NA servers. There's nothing that would stop EU players from doing the same thing as they expanded into other servers and vice versa for us going onto their servers. I welcome the chance to game with our EU brothers and sisters. I also look forward to picking up a few words and phrases in whatever boobely boobely language they speak. |

Have you noticed that in one of the previous issues they started labeling some of the missions with big blue Hero or Red villeins? That's probably part of the bases of the alignment exchange. Having to something like run a ark to get rouge status thin run random missions to change your alignment far enough to one side or another. Thin another ark to completely switch over to the other side.
