Population Decline
It's loverly to see how many of us are so invested in our server. We all love this game to some degree or another and it goes to show how much time and effort we invest in this thread to show the OP just exactly what we mean.
Then again there are those who are like this:
P.S. I did leave Champion |
Have a wonderful day! And see everyone else in game ON THE CHAMPION SERVER!
And therefore should either A. MTOB or B. be ignored altogether when they state their "impressions" about a server they no longer reside on.

"You're not part of the little 'cool' kids club, so therefore you can't say anything. You should leave."
This mindset resembles one that is somewhat childish.
. It's a fact that some villains have moved to Paragon. All of mine, for example.

Convenient.
Those who migrated out of Champion obviously were the fodder who are transient anyways. No loss.... only gain

"Since you didn't stay you're a moron and the server is a better place without you."
Gee, that makes sense, I wonder how you came to this glaringly logical conclusion.
Not really.
It's okay Cobalt, this isn't Champion BMT. I eagerly await a PM from one of the mods as a result of you reporting my posts because I disagree with you.
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Additionally, I didn't boot you from BMT due to you disagreein' with me.
Also, if by you not bein' on the server has improved my gameplay experience in some capacity, then yes, you transferin' from the server was a gain to me. So, again, true story.

This is an interesting point, but I think the "medium" load isn't any indication to population. If I had to guess based off of no actual proof, I'd say the load increase has something to do with Ultra mode. More people maybe running in higher graphics or something.

I don't know, but I won't believe that the server has increased in population or activity since i13. |
So i guess our beliefs simply don't match.
FWIW Champion first became my primary and mostly sole server back somewhere around mid 2005 when i first joined the SG Metaknights after having previously focused on Victory for several months and Guardian for about six months. i started splitting my play time more between Champion and other servers around 2008. While it's not really my main server as such anymore, it's still the server i have the most global friends and emotional connection to even if i don't spend quite as much time there as i used to. It's still the server i'm most likely to log onto when i'm in the mood to play a random alt.

Don't need to take the test to know I'm a red/greener. When strategy doesn't work zerg 'em.
I'll always be a "Champion" at heart. My server away from home.

What the devil! Yeah no that makes sense.

Admittedly, I've played less and less of late. But this thread makes me sad.
Is the server quiet? Yes.
Are many post here unwelcoming and abrupt? Well, yes.
My opinion strictly: basing a server community around global channels is unhealthy in many ways, as newcomers are not hooked up into them, and need to be in contact with somebody who takes the time to be inform them to get in. Even then, channels have limits. I still try to hit up the team search windows, but many bypass this for globals. A shortcoming of team forming functionality? Maybe. But the effort to use the plain search window can turn up new faces and introduce them to fun times. (This assumes civility and good communication during invites, of course.)
Hanging on to years old quarrels and not taking the time be be the best to people you come across (even when they act lousy) just makes things less palatable to newcomers. But I ain't a push or shove person, so that's probably my bias showing through.
My biased view just sees this place becoming very insular- it helps a lot when you talk to a passer-by you don't know and see if they want to team, invite a stranger looking for a group, or check politely with an unfilled team if they need a new member, then do your best to be useful. Being helpful in teaming (which is all about cooperative play anyways) just helps everybody involved have fun in a game that's all just about having fun anywise.
Lighten up folks, and please, please stop telling people go away. They may go, they may stay, but either way it makes their experience here just a bit worse.
*sigh* anywise. I'll be here. Soloing, grouping, being quiet. But helping random folks you come across can make a game that may be starting to feel old become fresh all over again.
/threadjack due to my sig this thread is now about MTG.
Blue is right about my playstyle even though my favorite deck is a mono black creatureless control deck.

Game over, man! Game over!
From what I've seen the Server pop did dip a little there for a while but its come back strong and active, since GR's release.
If you want a sever with more peoples though, Freedumbs for you.
Also, we're the friendly/community server we're only arseholes to arseholes.
If the OP had of made this thread ona different Server, there would be so many asterisks I'd be blinded by 'em.
