I think the average player level on Freedom is just higher now. Less newbies, so less people in Atlas

There's ALWAYS two Peregrine Islands open now, I remember when it was Talos that had that

Why aren't stupid people listening to this too?


Oh wait, I answered my own question.

I know quite a few people from Freedom that have been playing on other servers a lot. Large groups of us even went and made SGs on other servers and have scheduled events from time to time.

That, and if you click on a different server at the server selection screen, then go back and look.. Virtue is now at the bottom of the list and Freedom is right above it. It used to be the other way around, meaning Virtue holds the highest and Freedom is probably not far behind.
Without knowing what hardware they've thrown at each server, and without knowing what hardware was used for each server before the upgrades, the green/yellow/red/grey dots don't tell you much with regards to the server populations.

Do a search on heroside and one on villainside in order to find the non-hidden population at any given point. Until you get hard numbers everything is anecdotal.

The only real conclusion that anyone can draw by looking at the server list alone is that Virtue is seeing a population increase and likely will be targeted first for any hardware upgrades.

  • 2 half bottles of vodka (Turg: So using the power of math, just one 1 bottle.)
  • This wierd drink from local shop that purely shots. Think of the shots you have in clubs and this is that (Turg: I know this is English, but not getting it. Try again?)
  • Bottle of water [to balance it all out and keep me healthy] (Turg: Drink water as you go along, and you stay drunk longer w/o the hangover. Finally, some sense outta you.)
Do i qualify?
Sure, if only for the fact that we need to school you on some liquor, son. Take a seat, and let me whip up an espresso martini a la Turg.

(Seriously, JD? You have access to Macallan and Glen X single malts, and you're proud of JD?)

Nay, Tito's Handmande Vodka is where it's at. It's made near where I live (Austin, TX). Smoothest tasting vodka I've had, other than Chopin, just without the inflated pricetag. The best way to drink it is on the rocks, it's not a mixing type of spirit.

Oo, very nice, will need to check that out. My usual vice is Ketel One.

Since we're dickering on liquors, my favorite one right now is a mason jar of West Virginian grandmother moonshine (so named because it was my friend's grandmother who distilled it). This stuff is like cold sake, with twice the kick. Smoothest liquor I've ever had, with a unique bouquet that forces a "yum!" out of your throat.
