Re: Calling all North American Players!!!

Thought I'd post a reminder, as I almost forgot myself. NORTH AMERICAN COMMUNITY GAME tonight! Be there, or B².

BTW, for all the new players out there.. Don't be discouraged if you see empty servers. Jump on the DS server and hang out for awhile, even if by yourself. You will get to know the maps better when no one is shooting you and others will see you on and want to join as well. That old rule applies: "If you populate it, they will come" smile

Re: Calling all North American Players!!!

Doh, I missed the game. Is the NA CG usually on Fridays? Or is it different every week?

Re: Calling all North American Players!!!

As far as I understand, the Friday one is for residents of the Americas and the Saturday one is for residents of Europe.

Having said that, the only reason why they're split up like this is because of lag issues - Americans experienced lag when playing on the Europe-based (as far as I know) DS server and wanted their own CG where they could play with less lag. So if you are American and want to, and can, join the Saturday one, please do smile .

Re: Calling all North American Players!!!

It's not so much the lag... even pinging 160, the game runs pretty smoothly.  It's because when Europe is playing on Saturday night, it's the middle of the day here in the USA... and on our Saturday night, you're already in early Sunday morning... sad

I may jump on this afternoon to check it out!

Re: Calling all North American Players!!!

Remember that the CG lasts for a few hours.   You don't have to be there at the very start you can easy jump on at any time.

Bingo! big_smile Everyone is free to join either. However, the Saturday game is usually much more populated. But word is slowly spreading throughout the States, so maybe soon the Friday game will have a few more players.
