Calling this "massive"?
« on: February 19, 2010, 01:54:53 PM »
Wow! It's Friday night, past 9 PM, and instead of going into the nearest bar I wanted to join
Quote
a massive multi-player online combat simulation
and
Quote
Fight against hundreds of real players from around the world.
I dot-effed for some familiar names, found them and logged in, took up and got shot down in five minutes. Looking at the NetStatus I decided to reboot my rig, and below is what I saw. About ten minutes earlier the numbers for Orange and Blue had been vice versa, and Orange was the one with the company I wanted to join. On Blue I couldn't even find a fight, all darbars were between the two other countries! I know it's only my 14,95 against the aforementioned hundreds of real players, but if this is "Customer Service the American Way"...

Look another "whine one hour after the caps take effect" post.

Think about where the server is and what time it is there.  Obviously the problem is not enough Yurppeons on to make it "massive" in the afternoon in the U.S.A.!!

Get out to that bar and start recruiting!!!

What's the problem then? Join one of the two and you have a fight.

Administrators can only do so much, like have a commecial on both the Military and History Channel, have Con.'s all over the world, etc. etc. It's up to the players to be on all the time, and players to tell people about the game. You don't like it, then leave. It's not going to be massive everyday.

I don't see what the big deal is about having to join the 101 server over the 117, 16 extra players isn't really that big of a difference.

One would think with you being a subscriber for all of these years that you would have figured out (by way of the dozens of related threads) on how the arena caps work.  Maybe it's something that is lost in translation.
