the danger of that is that players might use Defiant as just a place to dump their obsolete or unused 50s so it woudln't ever really solve the issue.
I know that many of my friends who I connect with in a different virtual environment would very gladly roll toons on Defiant and I would probbly roll a toon on a couple of other servers too but Defiant's my home

I don't get these devs at all. They split up heroes and villain players, they split the global players....just odd.
CoX seems to be a game of getting your cake and then not being able to eat it too.
Ok I say the coming storm is will be a huge event that tears a rift between the shards (servers) and cross server teaming will become possible. Duplicate names? Well, two characters from different shards are in the CoX shard-verse, two people from different realities that have been someone collided into one. So SuperJack (Freedom) teamed with SuperJack (Virtue) is what the character names would look like.
Dons tinfoil hat and rocks himself in the corner of a dark room. The only light is the glare of the monitor displaying the CoX server listed. Mutters to himself, yes it will be so...

I ask as I went on to mention perceived server performance issues as a reason for moving to a less populated server. It's interesting news to me if people moved because they actively wanted to be on a server with lower population but not due to perceived performance issues. Is that what you're saying people have done, according to anecdotal evidence? |

Equate "parallel worlds" with servers.
Consolidated NOC ---> Better interserver behavior ---> more potential cross server support--->not just combined server lists, but crossworld teaming through Ouroboros.
It'd solve some of the issues with getting enough incarnates to do the larger-team incarnate stuff on some of the less active servers...

Almost certainly. There's an Oceanic Lounge for the Antipodeans... and they play on the US servers - and if they posted in here, I'd find it impossible not to mention their dreams crumbling to Ashes this winter

Errrr, how could heroes and villain not have been split up? COV came quite a bit after coh came out.
Other games also have international editions, and have different factions that are "split up".
Not seeing anything odd at all here.
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!

Be well, people of CoH.
Your amusing accents, strange food and orbital lasers will keep us entertained for ages

A "serverless" environment comes. One with a more advanced global/local naming scheme, permitting duplicate names but not bogging down chat aesthetics. This new paradigm will be upon us within the next two years.
Really I've no idea what this means. But I have this unfounded feeling in my gut that long term, within the next two years, we're going to see some sort of significant change to how servers and the division between them works in game.
I doubt it... too much work but I bet that CoH2 will be serverless
