When GR hits . . . . . .

Well Scarlet that is up to you.
What I really want to do is removing that "fight" between Union and Defiant that I believe you are referring to.
The two server names are mentioned because most of the players has characters in there. Most people speak English, Thusly it would be good to have some form of presence there with a base.
For this project I would have recommended that we just played on Vigilance or Zukunft... but I like to read missions etc and sadly I do not utter a word of French (Ok thats technically a lie cause every one can utter a word, so what I mean is I cannot understand the French language) and my german is veeeery rusty (been years since I learned its basics and then it was mostly for speaking german, not reading).
And thus we are forced Scarlet to either play on either server... or both.

The main thing is that this project is there to let us play with people we have not played with. Like people from other servers that you will not find on the server you play on.
Example: I have not played with Scarlet at all, since Well Scarlet is mostly Defiant. I have not played with Beber and the wonderful French community, nor the german community, since I'm on Union. (See how bad it is, I have no people to refer to when speaking of the german community?)

But if we are going to have to play together we are going to need a server to play it on (at least), so the question is which server(s) it should be. And it should not be only open for us forum goers and obvious name for us, but open for every other player that do not frequent the forum that much. But wants to play with a score of other people.
If we can get this global initiative to work (Well global as in 4 servers).

yeah like I said I don't hate the idea... but I can see it being slightly problematic.

That said I'm happy to support and take part in it... and I could bring a conceptual toon too it, especially on Union.

Like you, my French and German language skills aren't good enough to pass muster on either of the non-English servers - though I do see where you're coming from.

I'm probably bailing out on the GR/issue 18, hopefully a future issue will bring server transfers or sortlike. The beta itself is imho pretty dissapointing, dispite the graphics stuff i yet again see their add new stuff and totaly forget the old.
I have been toying with the idea of a NA account, but it's annoying to say goodbye to the alts I've built up over five plus years.

Until server transfer (EU --> NA) becomes an option I'll be making sure the swords base remains neat and tidy!

So true, main reason i still log in my EU account once in a while, just to be sure they wont nick my toon names. (i got nearly 3 accounts full on Defiant). GR will smash down the playerbase ever further, as u cant team up the first bunch of lvls untill you actualy leave GR itself with those running around in Paragon/Rogue Islands.

But i still have to get myself a demon summon MM and cant resist getting a kinetic and elec control toon, the only 'fast' way of getting a villain to heroes would be using GR, so im still in the 'yes no yes no yes no' zone.

To be fair though, how many people blueside purely do the sewer run up to lvl 8ish and then start to team? To get a team to do actual missions low level [both EU and NA] is really quite hard to be honest i found.

So far in praetoria though, there is yes the new tunnels which are even better to get from 1 - 20 however so far everybody has LOVED doing the missions there and can see praetoria saving low level teaming.

Once it goes live, the first characters im going to make are my tester characters which i have fallen in love with!

Demon/Pain MM
Grav/Earth dom
Kin/fire scrapper
Kin/WP scrapper
Elec/therm controller
Arachnos soldier Woo finally!

Totally agree, for people playing without having GR, the low levels are going to seem like a complete ghosttown. Good luck recruiting for frostfire now i say!

I dont really have big problems getting in a lowbie team on the US side, but on EU side i'm pretty often the only one around there (specialy redside).

But indeed, the sewers are pretty good for the teaming, imho a bad thing since you kill the entire low-lvl zone in the blue and redzones (even for future characters, if GR is easier/faster, u would rather make your toon there and eventualy move it to red/blue side - pretty sure about this as GR 'world' is way smaller then the whole content of 1-20 in CoH).

Totally agree with you, think thats one of the main reasons why the percentage of pure buffers/debuffs in the NA is a LOT larger than the EU side.
You just have to build a character in which you know can solo over here, a big shame from the old days but suppose all we can do is wait and see what this does to our numbers next week up to a month
