Queue's for Virtue and Freedom aren't too surprising... what is a shock is Justice flickering in and out of Queue status, and at least one other hitting it for a few minutes... Infinity, I think. Forgot to screenshot it when I was logging in.

158 is all? It was approaching 300 earlier.
Good to see the launch has generated that much excitement. Let's hope it did enough to keep some of these folks around a while.
You guys havn't been bombarded with trolls/flamers telling you that you're gay for rping? It seems that since GR launched we're getting a lot of people on Virtue who don't respect other players' choices on how they play the game. I was venturing with a new Virtueian and he kept complaining when me and three others on the team were RPing, in the end the team leader had to kick him.
Five of the fifteen game servers have utilized the queue system already. Many other servers have hit "heavy server load" stress levels. I haven't seen a "light server load" since before GR went Live.
As for harassment.../kick or /ignore. If it continues, /ignore and /petition. You shouldn't ever have to put up with anything from the same person more than twice.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Yeah, I agree with DumpleBerry. My MMO gaming has become much more pleasant since I developed a hair-trigger Ignore reflex.

Stand out and doing my show in Nova Praetoria, I didn't encounter much of it. In fact I only saw 1 person who was acting like a YUTZ about RP. I honestly expected more. |

Of Course I've heard rumors that the goons from SA have invaded Virtue again also, which could account for some of it all. Just keep on doing what you do, and it will be fine.

The Goon Squad is a crew of weapons-grade griefers from the SomethingAwful.com forums. I remember a couple years ago they invaded with an SG called "Fursecution Squad" or something along those lines, giving all the anthropomorphic characters in Pocket D a hard time.

I'm playing a feline humanoid type as a Praetorian, and so far have gotten nothing but good results from RP'ing. I'm pretty much "THE TARGET" as far as the greater interwebs are concerned, so I think there aren't really that many bad apples.
I can neither confirm nor deny whether there are goons on Virtue.
But if there were goons on Virtue, it's very likely that they would be too busy playing with their shiny new GR characters, to even consider griefing at this time. Also, it's unlikely that they would do anything as lowbrow as calling people "gay".

Yeah there are a small amount of us here and this is certainly the case about us enjoying the new content. Also, not all of use are griefers. Try not to let a few of us who don't even play on this server skew your view on all "GoonSquad" players. Anyways, most of those players who did those shenanigans here either quit or refuse to step foot on Virtue ever again. There have also been quite a few goons who have played exclusively on Virtue since launch and just never said anything. Either way, if were here and have ourselves identified as such, don't be alarmed! We may act like complete idiots amongst ourselves but its all in good fun.

Yeah, my husband and I did a couple TFs/SFs with you, what seems like a long time ago. It's been about a year since we played, but we always found Virtue to have a good community of folks to do TFs with.|

Right now, all of my Virtue characters are villians, so I seriously need some "good goons" or maybe "grey goons".
Edit: I wonder if "Weapons-Grade Griefer" is available... or is that too long? (Not planning on griefing)
Of course, Virtue is the awesome server of awesome!

Impossible. Everyone knows Goons cannot feel joy unless they are actively preventing other people from having fun in a game. And they use "g*y", "f*g", "j*w" and "s*mpr*ni" as punctuation.|

You make it sound like Goons aren't a terrifying force that destroys any online community it touches, just a bunch of regular people who post on a message board and have a peculiar sense of humor.

On the side of goons, I'm a goon and enjoy RPing. I don't actively try to ruin experiences for other people... the few bad apples tarnish the image of the entire group. Anyways I think the fursecution was circle of jerks or 4chan, not SA.
Now, back on topic...
It is good that we're reaching high server loads, however. It's a blessing in disguise. I don't think I've ever seen all servers above green ever since I began playing in April 2006. Usually there was like 1 or 2 at green during free xp weekends. This gets exposure of the game out there. Not to mention some people are using free trials. All this money going to Paragon Studios definately is not a bad thing. Sure, us players may have to suffer queues, but is that exactly bad? It's good to have more people playing the game. I really doubt the devs expected this sort of reaction to Going Rogue.
It's mostly positive. New people may join the game and start to RP. They may recommend it to their friends, and we'll continue on a upward slant of players. I just foresee a drop off of players in about a month after their free trials run out, but I think overall numbers will be higher than they have been the past few issues. Heck, I was basically off since Power Spectrum came out. Still subscribed. It was like a weekend every so often playing. Now I'm back, and have logged more since Monday than I have in the past 3 months. I've even played lots on my Warshade who I hardly touched since she hit 50.

Basically, the "logic" there is "overuse of slurs = rude, Goons = rude, therefore all Goons overuse slurs all the time". It's funny because I'm condemning a whole group of people based on third-hand accounts of the actions of some people who may not even be associated with the group.|

If you mean "s*mpr*ni", that's a fake "naughty word" from Monty Python, which I'm using to indicate that this is a joke and I don't actually think Goons call people nasty things all the time. Just most of the time.

I think this server has become popular out of all the positive experiences that visitors have had here. Every server has it's cliques and people are burned out on the same old server drama, this one hates that one because they cheat/ exploit/ trashtalk/ stalk their famliy, the turn around is from burnt out players who just want people to shut up and play. I know every server has their drama princess, you just have to be real fast with that /ignore @ and you'll be off to a good start I guess.
((I have tried out all of the other servers at one time or other and I have to say that Virtue has the most dynamic well spoken community of them all <3 Virtue. Yes we may have cliques and self aggrandizing narcissists who cant pvp, pvmp, or rp their way out of wet paper bag, but for every 1 of those there are like 10-20 sincerely nice, involving, quirky individuals that I've had the honor to call friends over these many years. And to all the rest /ignore))
There's a queue for Virtue! o_O
