Can't imagine anyone having Snow on ignore - it just so happened that I'd just finished an lrsf and another had left shortly after the one I was on. triumph's got enough for a couple but i think the third was beyond us for that night. if i'd known it was taking two hours i'd have ran another but i was afk a lot that night.

Yeah, I'm Scots-Irish-Welsh-Danish-English-German-Spanish-American. My complexion is entirely from the Scots-Irish, and a bit of the Danish (having blond hair with red facial hair).

Have you really gotten yourself on that many ignore lists?

@Rylas

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

Also keep in mind that, if are comparing this to the early days of the game, the game world is several times larger. People are just spread out. A lot. This makes it less likely to see them running about, especially in certain zones.

Even in games with automatic team gathering features, it falls to one person to step up and use their words so people are on the same page.
It wasn't this bad before Incarnate content hit though. The people most likely to lead teams are now off leading trials.

It's graystar, he posts one of these doom posts in player questions about once a month (sometimes more), what do you think?

I find your lack of signature disturbing.

Yesterday, when this was posted, it was sunny and clear across most of the South. Dunno which country you're referring to, but it apparently wasn't the USA...

The game is hurting its going Free to play and you still are gonna say its all ok.
Going f2p doesn't mean a game is in trouble. LotRO was doing quite well still when it went f2p. TUrbine showed very well that the f2p model is hugely successful for most MMOs ( Exceptions being the "WoW that's huge" behemoth MMO )

Actually, this weekend was pretty rainy up in the Northeast.

We had a beautiful weekend here in central Ohio - and Origins Game Faire was in town, so I was able to meet up with some City folks at BD's Mongolian Barbeque.

Simply because you're too stupid to understand the vagaries of the search feature doesn't mean we need to hear about it every couple months.

Ok I grant your wish for a brand new trial. Login to the game and go play it now.

That was incredible!

I'm afraid it was only in my power to grant a new trial today. Sorry about that.

Wouldn't really call that "much of the country", though.

Just like DDO failed when it went f2p....Oops, wait....LotRO? Nope, not that either. Even Champions had a significant increase in profits when they went f2p. F2p is proving to be an extremely successful MMO model. It has nothing to do whether the game's failing or not.

And, no, there aren't as many people here as there were right after GR launched and for the first couple months there. But it's still more crowded than it was BEFORE GR launched.

Virtue on red side is a ghost town compared to when I started...

Each time I log in I use team search to see how many are on. When I started, march 2006 fyi, there was an average of 450 villains on a week night and 700 average on the weekend. For the last 6 months to a year search has yielded less than 50 villains average per night.
