Every server has its own "personality" of sorts.

Wander on down to the server forums and poke around.

Yeeep, you always remember your first.

Skilled players.

I kid, I kid.



Thank you, Champion.

Of late, I've been doing tfs and radio missions on Freedom and it's honestly about the same mixed bag I see elsewhere - the only substantive difference from my home server is the /b.

I should note, that as an aside, I've been impressed with the PUGs on Virtue - don't let the pocket-protectors and cat-tails fool you.

Virtue is full of cat women and perverts, but I repeat myself. [no no, just had to pick one server and at least it's true on Virtue.]

I didn't notice any difference between Liberty, my first, and Freedom. Really, at all, besides population density.

Virtue though is different, and it's my secondary server. I like it, but get too many RPers in a room, and I get weirded out. [Check out the blue side lounge in Pocket-D for some Pocket-Embarrassment.]

I laughed; I'm cheap, but I repeat myself.

About the only thing I saw different on different servers (aside from population) was less of the "lol, freedumb" chat.

I think it's true that Freedom has more of t hat "Freedumb" chat at times, but I think it's a very fair trade-off from my old home server, Liberty. The players were nice, but there weren't many. On Freedom, however, I've found after years playing CoH, I'm finally able to get around to doing a lot of TFs I've never done before.

I think the PuGing on Virtue is generally excellent, but Freedom is not bad either. The "Freedumb" tag gets overplayed as much as the "LolRPVirtue" tag does. Both servers have a lot of quality players.

Every server has a good group of players at its core, but the smaller servers have fewer of them so your chances of finding a good random PuG go down.

Main thing you are missing on Virtue is a lot of people with worn out parantheses keys and significant hypertrophy of the special snowflake gland. That said it's my home server and I couldn't imagine life on a lower population server.

Seconded.

I've played on Liberty, Freedom, and now Virtue.

Liberty= Friendly but low population generally.
Freedom= High population with little character.
Virtue= High population with a lot of character, both good and bad.

No relation to Arachnos!

Part Pack: Now the majority of players know how we, PvPers, have felt for years now. Don't want to be so "civil" now that you have been completly ignored, do you?

Aw, man! Don't lump mocking Virtue with the mean, nasty people who hatedly bash my Freedom. It's fun making fun of the RP guys. ((No, it's not!!))

Excellent description. I'll add, re Freedom's no character, it's more like having so much diversity that you can't see each individual tree because theirs a forest blocking your view. But, the ones near you, those people are people. But you'll probably never meet them again [actually, this is what notes are for.]

True enough. That said, i still play on Virtue more than Freedom.

Maybe you do, but for me the earliest times start blurring together, and to be honest it's not like you had the skills or knowledge to make it memorable for any reason other than it being the first time. A better first is the first time a teammate said of your performance, "Holy ****! That. Was. AWESOME!"

Pinnacle has booze. I don't partake myself, but most people don't turn down free booze.

Triumph = Pantsless Server

We are a very close knit server. Doing TFs/SFs are done very often.

Best part of the server is we have many regulars, which makes for easy teaming after you get known. Because we are a smaller server, we tend to be a little more forgiving of noobs and try to train them more that some of the larger servers.


Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

Possibly; "Triumph - we have cancer"
