We don't want your sort around here Wuffles*
I've done the jump over a few months ago myself. It's pretty busy, even red-side but as you said the time difference is there, but if you play mostly in the evenings our time Virtue is pretty busy. Even red-side is pretty busy, although it's died down a tad since the City of Growling Monstrosities fad has passed.*
If you do arrange TFs etc I'll certainly try to attend (although I've a new baby on the way in the next 6 weeks so don't hold me to that).
If you need some blue-side funds to get your heroes started let me know too, I don't play much blue-side so I can certainly send you enough to ensure things like DOs and SOs aren't a pain to buy.
=o Carni didn't know you had transfered, wondered where you disappeared to x] *waves*
How much does it actually cost to get the US version etc.? I havn't looked into that yet...
And if I get the US version I'll probably transfer my main over with all his inf and stuff =)

Think it's pretty cheap now, I'm not sure because I reactivated a US account I'd bought 2 or 3 years ago.|

You do know there's no actual proper way to transfer across characters? You can recreate (assuming the name isn't taken), saving and loading the Cossie helps with that, but there's no server transfer mechanism. You start from scratch, and lose any Vet Rewards to boot.
Also because Gleemail is based around globals (which are separate EU and US sides) you can't Gleemail Inf from an EU to a US account (or the other way around). You can use the market trick to buy something like an Intangibilty TO from a US character using an EU character, slightly nerve-wracking (make sure there are NO bids or For Sales on whatever you use and little activity) but that's what I did.
So if you don't mind starting basically from scratch it can be worth it, but just so you know how much you give up doing so. Mind you your EU account will still be there but inactive so it's not a one-way process either.
Greetings Mr_Wuffles. I'm here in the states but play more at odd times (after 1 in the morning my time) and still see plenty of activity. TF/SF go quite well and often. RP is a hit and miss if your in to RP. Best bet there is to find a Roleplay Supergroup the Virtue Pocket D always have people in it but you get some strange types.
No I'm not just talking about the Erpers I'm talking about those who annoy others just to annoy. At the same time you find those who play very deep and powerful story based characters and take pride in their creations.
Hmm... now it doesnt seem to inviting hehe. Especially since I doubt my time on the game will extend far into the 2011 anyway. Might just stay put on Union, cheers bud =)

What you can try is a Free US Trial, that way you can try before you decide.
* You don't even need to install the US version, just go to where ever you installed the EU version, copy the cohupdate.EU.exe file and rename the copy to cohupdate.exe (I think that's right anyway, basically look for the file with .EU. in it, copy it and remove the .EU). Then run the copy file and it'll connect to the US servers (you'll be able to tell because the Updater will actually have some recent news stories in it, unlike th EU version).
US 14 day Trial is here
Good thinking, no harm in giving it a try xD cheers again mate.
The cost of more people it seems. More of the extreams of personalities.
Yeah having to start from scratch would suck. If you do have a limited amount of time playing then after taking a brake in 2011 return to a US server. You could get a US version of an outdated copy of the game that would be cheaper then getting a brand new one. You just have to wait for a very long download as it updates.

I can pretty regularly throw TFs together on the fly when I feel like it, and I have about as few in-game resources for this stuff as you can get. There are a few Virtue TF/teaming/event channels that will take you far.|

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
