Re: Where did everyone go?

Yeah, Rogue Tribe gets a lot of action because of the good ping it gives euro players (you must be on at some weird times for your corner of the globe if you only see the RT server full Blitz wink), that said, there are a few other good euro based servers surfacing lately, some 64 player ones which I'll sometimes hop onto when I feel like a larger scale skirmish, the RT only holds a max of 24 players, but 10 a side games can feel epic enough.

I wouldn't say the population is diminishing, I'm seeing new faces on every time I play.

Re: Where did everyone go?

The best suggestion I have for server settings is only 16/32player versions and maybe more variety. I know people complain that ice plains is too big for 16 player so maybe until things pick up we should put something in its place. Those are my thoughts. I normally play in the evenings EST, and during the day on saturday/sunday.

Re: Where did everyone go?

Well I guess the US playerbase is shrinking then. We're located in VA. As for map settings, right now I have all maps at 32 players but vote is on so anyone can skip.

that may be true- We've so far only gotten recruits from Europe. I was hoping to get a few US players to make a US fireteam, but so far we've just got the one we started with. Which leaves with 2 squad members that find it hard to be on at the same time as the rest.

Re: Where did everyone go?

It would be nice if we could get feedback from people that have stopped playing and why they stopped or aren't on very much. Maybe we could set up a poll or something?

Re: Where did everyone go?

In my case I certainly haven't stopped playing I just don't play on a daily basis.  Usually the weekends.  Plus I'm not too wild about the high ping servers.  I really liked the shattered planet server since I had a good ping there.  I've played on the rogue server more than a few times.  It had been the only busy server during the times I played last weekend so I jumped in.  On the other hand I got laid off a couple days ago so for the time being I'll probably be able to play during the European prime times.
