I bet we're down to one green dot by next week, with no teams to be found and Positron looking for work at Best Buy while Castle and Back Alley Brawler flip burgers at a Jack in the Box. Doom. |
Your attempt to "Doom!" has failed.

I wish the transfers started earlier though, a little bit painful that you have to wait through the queue to transfer to somewhere less busy.

That way the population could balance itself out and people who felt their preferred server was too crowded to enjoy would be able to move to a less populated server. Paragon Studios should totally look into doing something like that. |
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
You can make a new toon on a less crowded server and transfer later!

If people did that they'd be able to play right away and they'd have no excuse to come on the forums and throw hissy-fits about not being able to log onto Fre-<cough> their preferred server of choice.

Maybe they could move Freedom players to the French server. |

even though it wont last long, seeing victory with two yellow dots made me think of the good ol days. I might make that Op pic a poster to remind of how my home used to be all the time. The green dots ones, man, that is fishy. freedom of course is locked and virtue is borderline locked and that was expected. wish the population was spread out a little more maybe so that people who have a row full of freedom toons who was still at work at that time might have a chance. On the the flipside guess everything has it's ups and down. on triumph never have to worry about being locked out but might get lonely on slow time yet freedom, it never sleeps but you might the be poor sap outside in the cold begging the bouncer to let you in.

And it still is, sort of - today they opened up GR to all the prepurcase people - and tomorrow it goes live for all the preorder and normal purchase people.

It was supposed to be tomorrow. They lied, yet again. What a surprise. I've learned never to trust anything they say.

This is alittle confusing because when the limit is reached on each server you end up say in Atlas Park 2, Atlas Park 3. The most I have seen on "Freedom" is Atlas Park 25 and I have been with the game since its launch.
wonder how much they are going to make on people buying new slots. This is a very alt enticing expansion, and im thinking that im going to need more than 2 more for liberty.

We'll just have to wait until they release this quarters earnings and then make silly wild ***guesses while some people proclaim that it's proof the game is dying and they need to merge the servers. |

And we could move you to your own server where you could provide your own economy, start your own Hami raids, and even play with yourself. You could even create your own boards where you could post and laugh at your own jokes! Doesn't that sound fun? C'mon.... follow the white light... That's it... There 'ya go... You're gonna love it!|

His server would be have its own rules. All rules would be exclusive to him, including forum rules--sort of like it is now. |

So, you want those yellow servers merged so they can have a queue, too?
