Infinity global channels?

Been looking for a good and active global channel here on Infinity, but I can't seem to find one. Infinity TF's is the channel I've found with the highest population, but there rarely seems to be any activity.

So, what Infinity global channel has a good mix of team, itrial and TF forming along with maybe a little bit of chat?

Well, I use Infinity TFs any time I'm recruiting for a TF or trial.

I usually also hit:
Inf Badge Seeker
Infinity Badges 2.0

If you want more activity on these channels, say something.
They do seem to be quiet lately. I think it's because of all the iTrial activity, for which people just congregate in DA and often don't bother with the channels.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I dropped Infinity TF's and went with Infinity Badges since there were slightly more people on that channel. Problem is though, no one says anything. I chat in channel and I get no response.

And no, I'm not silenced.

I've seen an hour go by with no one saying anything, besides me.

I'll keep trying, but it's kind of disheartening.

Yeah, I don't know what the deal is with that.

I have advertised for things in pretty much all the chat channels I know about on occasion and still only gotten one or two responses (via tell not even in the channel). I know a good deal of folks play on Infinity... but it seems no one talks!

I have grown spoiled over on Justice where there is constantly chatter in JU or JFA no matter when I log in. It feels nice to see that. I have had friends drop from Infin for just that reason.

I wonder how much chatter happens in /help and /lfg on Infinity?

Not sure when you're trying - but for me, I know I rarely just "chat".

I've been trying magisterium runs a good bit - and if it's not in league chat, I'm not going to pay it any attention at all. For the most part, that's whatever I'm doing, if it requires keeping my eyes out for several cues.

For better results, TF now forming > lft.

Well, I don't really chat on these channels myself. I use them to recruit for task forces and see when other people are starting them. I see more chatting on channels like the market channel where people have questions about the market (consignment house, not the Paragon Market) or are commenting on unusual price movements.

Mostly, I chat:
- With the team or league I'm on.
- On private supergroup channels.
- With people on my global list.

Just to clarify, I don't really want to "chat" so much as see people forming teams or answering questions IF there are things forming that I don't know about since I usually ask these types of questions as soon as I log in.

When I log in and ask if anything is forming and an hour or more goes by and not only do I not get a response but I see no activity whatsoever that I start to feel disconnected.

And THAT is where I'm having problems. I want to do some itrials on my 50's I have here on Infinity but I never see any forming and when I ask, there is nothing but silence.

It just seems that while the population still seems higher than some other servers, forming teams is done outside places I normally frequent. I do keep an eye (tab) open to the Help/LFG channels as well, but it's mostly low level stuff like DFB.

I only have room for one Infinity global channel due to all the other globals I belong to so maybe it's that I'm not seeing activity on the one I happen to be on at the moment and things are hopping on the other Infinity globals.

Perhaps it's just time to move these 50's to another server, which is too bad because I enjoyed getting these character to 50 here on Infinity.

I would look at this post. If my understanding is correct, this is weekly thing.

It can be hard getting plugged in with any server. Perhaps some that have been on the server longer than me could chime in with a better way to get plugged in.

What time frames are you typically on?

Usually in the evenings say (7-11ish) Eastern, plenty of iTrials are to be found in DA. They don't have to broadcast outside the zone in most cases to fill a league. Also, on weekends, starting in the afternoons (I've been on some on a Sat. morning also!) you shouldn't have problems finding a league there. In addition, we also have a weekly MSR on Sunday evenings at 8:00 Eastern that start forming around 7:30. Those are usually announced in the help and LFG channel.

Hope that helps!

EDIT: Last night while I was on, I saw in LFG and Infinity TF calls for: BAF, MAGI farm, full MAGI and I think an UG. All that and I never set foot in DA.

The iTrials usually don't get announced on channels. There's generally enough people standing around in Dark Astoria to just broadcast and go. On the weekend, there will occasionally be three running simultaneously.
