It is fun observing the enthusiasm at the gv spawn battles. I have not seen this much laughter in years.  i hope the fur ballers are having a great time as well. 

I have heard lots of players say: “ I have not had this much in here in years “

FSO was at 160 last night. It's slowly creeping back up as well.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Heh.  My son told me he read something, which I'm paraphrasing:

There comes a time when you will be called on to save the world.  Our fathers and grandfathers did this by storming Omaha Beach and the sands of Iwo Jima.  Now it is our turn. 

We will fulfill our duty by staying home, sleeping late, and playing video games.  We accept the challenge.

So before FSO Friday night there was 197, just after 11PM eastern it dropped to less than half that. Ya thats pretty much normal these days. Less than 100 in the MA after the FSO guys switch arenas isnt a "cool" thing. We need a lot more people.

So if there's 160 in the SEA and around 100 in the MA, that's 250-/+ overall. As an FSO guy, I wish the MA was more like FSO.

Im not an FSO or scenario guy. I just cant find fun in those styles of play tho my squad is one of the biggest in FSO. I really wish the MA would start building numbers. It would most likely build numbers in FSO as well. I just hate to see these threads stating "All is well!" when it really isnt.

I saw a noticeable benefit to this virus shut in thing this past week. Not only lots of players in FSO but lots of players in the MA afterwards and for a few hours until I logged. Had a great fight going the likes of which I haven't seen in a very long time. In recent times I'd hit the MA after FSO and be lucky to find a fight going on at all. This week was a lot like the old days. Hope it keeps rolling after this craziness passes us.

I'm the opposite. I enjoy Event play and typically can't find any fun in MA play.

I don't think this post is an "all is well" thread, It's more of a hopefulness thread that the game is slowly returning to higher numbers.
