I live in Florida and worknights, so I play late at night, between 11pm EST to 4am EST.
I always play Freedom and I want to try a new server.
what do you all recommend?

I like teaming, I dont like solo playing
thanks

Freedom and virtue will probably be your best bets simply because they have the highest populations, so there will be the most people on those servers.

I know the people I run with on Virtue are often running TFs pretty late (for me -- often to 11 PM or Midnight my time which is West Coast time so that's until at least 3 AM in Florida.)

If you're moving away from Freedom, that pretty much narrows it down to Virtue.

From my experience, Virtues peek is around 11 EST.

Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

Justice, which is the "unofficial" Aussie server. 11pm - 4am for me, is 4pm - 9pm for them. My husband is a night owl and he is sometimes gaming till 4am. He usually gets on missions teams or just runs TF's.

Yeah definitely give justice a try. I often get on late night raids thanks to its Australian population. Hook yourself up with the Justice United and Australia channels, should give you plenty of teaming

I didn't know they moved, but I used to team alot when I worked third shift with Aussies on Victory. I think Victory gets more active after midnight, too. Check either Victory or Justice for some lively play with the fun Aussie crowd.

I think victory has the bigger Euro population for the U.S. servers which also helps a little.

I think if you play enough at night on any server, you'll eventually get to know some of the overseas players there. My main is Infinity, and even though I wouldn't say it's a particularly overseas-centric server, I ended up befriending a bunch of Aussies and a Swede over the course of time.

Perhaps some EU or Aussie channels might let you in as an honorary member, considering your playtimes?
