Don't wait for the game to fit your expectations. Improvise, adapt, overcome.

Don't lobby and whine the product creator to death about it, either..  :aok

YES!!!

Great post, Zardoz.

I never have a problem finding a fight. Pork a base and you'll get lots of action. Any time of day.
Remember there are times when the arena is populated by less that 10 players per side.  At these times is can be very difficult to find a fight.


To me the answer to the smaller numbers is FLY. Don't wait for the game to fit your expectations. Improvise, adapt, overcome.

Again, with very low numbers outside of US prime time your answer to 'FLY' simply does not generate a fight.

Look, I love the game as much as anyone else but come play in my time zone and you WILL have a very different experience and the answer to the problem is not to simply FLY so please do not disregard those frustrations that many of us have.

Respectfully.

"Z's" of the World, UNITE!

"BB's" of the world have already united and we will not tolerate the unification of the "Z's"!

Great post! 

There are some, that get very upset and play to get #1 slot. 

Quit frankly, I tried caring about dying and I actually started to not enjoy the game.  Not that I am EVER a threat for score because I am not.  In fact I consider myself in the bottom half of skilled players. 

As long as you are having fun, that is all that matters. 

Posts like this remind me why I love the game so much!!!  Well said!

Thank you all for the kind words. It's a great game and a great community.  :salute

And Fess, I am not trying to diminish your, or anybody else's frustration with the low numbers of people logged on at times. I tend to play at strange times. I don't get to play during USA "prime time" as much as I used to. And sometimes I up bombers at three AM. It does seem like I'm always getting shot at. I was on last night in the late evening and there were 130 people on. Slightly better numbers than a few months ago anyway. And it seems to me I was in a furball with you at one point.

Anyway, there have been times when I couldn't get any action, but they have been few and far between.
Your incessant whining just adds entertainment value to my gaming experience :cool:

Sir,

  Excellent initial post.  There is no comparable game out there.

  Even when I take a 'sabbatical', I haven't canceled my subscription (at least on purpose! - CC numbers do change occasionally).

  Great game.

  With the exposure in Steam, numbers will increase.  Just won't happen immediately, it may take 2 weeks or so.  (see what I did there?)

  I'll stay as long as I can afford the measly 15 dollars a month.

Regards,
