Did Virtue surpass Freedom in amount of players?

When server transfers got put in, there was a mass exodus of players off Freedom to other servers. There was also a mass exodus of players off other servers onto Freedom and Virtue. Virtue didn't see the mass exodus off (there were some, but not nearly as many as Freedom), so combine the two previous sentences: it now ends up being higher population fairly often.

Interesting, when did that happen? Which one is more known for Incarnate trials?

Virtue does seem to be more populated than Freedom these days, though that could just be thanks to an overwelming number of returnees that lived there to begin with combined with the 'Get away from farmers' rush that happened after the transfers
Freedom Atlas is packed with 'aggressive players' while the rest of the zones are rather, well, not. Comparitively speaking.

I had been wondering if it was just a matter of relative server load and if the Freedom server still had some more advanced tech for server capacity, as opposed to actually more players on Virtue vs. Freedom.

The bubs are not were near representative to the ammount of people online. Even Europe time (night/morning US) it goes sometimes 3 red bubs, but hardly anyone ingame to be found.
I think all severs scale to a certain ammount of players, Union once in a while has 2 bubs, that would mean they have equal players online then on Freedom, very unlikely.
I still pick my side on Freedom, Virtue europe time is really empty.

My experience is that everyone everywhere does Incarnate trials, often to the exclusion of everything else. Incarnate trials are the easiest thing to find players for. Join any well-populated server and you won't be able to swing a dead cat without getting Threads all over it.

I've found that, at least on Virtue, iTrials aren't advertised much in global channels anymore. You just gather in RWZ and recruit in /broadcast. It's like a train that departs every 5 minutes.

In Freedom, most trials are forming in Pocket D. I rarely see them in global channels.

At least in the past, Freedom did have more hardware behind it than any of the other servers (meaning that it was harder for it to go yellow/red than the other servers generally). But, since I last saw that said by a red name, they've done a number of server upgrades, and there was that period of a couple months where everyone was able to use some number of transfers every week for free, so I'm not sure if that's still the case anymore.|

You can definitely get on iTrials easily on Freedom, I've been on many. And, as has been said, they generally form in Pocket D (as it won't be interrupting any MRP like it would on Virtue
)

Mass exodus huh? Where did you find this info because it sounds like hyperbole to me.

Well I was on freedom then villains came out so then I used Virtue as my Villains server. Then Villains died and I played both. I didnt care for the giant amount of RP's on Virtue but they died down and the Freedom farmers got big and so I came to live in Virtue. Now I'm in Virtue and Exalted, but Exalted still feels emptier than Virtue...

I like how you focus on the first sentence and completely ignore the second sentence.

Not sure if the server list is incorrect but lately I been seeing Virtue in red and Freedom in yellow and or when they are both red Virtue is at the bottom.
Anyone play on both servers? Is Virtue more popular now? Is it easier to get Incarnate teams on one vs the other?
