What's the state of PS?

[Phrost]

Hey guys. Last night I downloaded and reactivated my account. I played PS for the first 4 or 5 months of it's release, and loved it. I don't remember why I stopped playing, but it must have been another game got my attention.

When I joined last night (Emerald) I don't think I saw one person at the NC Sanctuary. I remember the Sanctuary used to be a staging ground where hundreds and hundreds of players would meet up before a battle. Everynight. Is this not the case anymore? I know the number of players now playing compared to when I played have drastically diminished, but are there still large scale battles? Is the game still a strong game, population wise?

I did manage to get into a battle last night and had a blast. So much to learn though. A lot has changed since I played. And from what I hear the changes are great.

Ya Sanctuary kinda died a while ago, there are rare occurrences of outfits gathering forces there, but more often it is all done in the field.

I think they should go back to having a single facility and consolidate the sanctuary population.

LFS'ing pisses me off. I spame Local, Broadcast, and Outfit, and sometimes I never get an answer. Other times though, The second I spawn, I get an invite from an Outfit member

The last time i played i got invites from 13 recruiters at the sanctuary.

Will they ever merge the last 2 remaining US servers?

Last 2? Was only 4 at release, you make it sound like they've fall'n so far. I think if that ever became an option they'd shut down PS. America is too big for one server.


Edit: and I don't think that will happen for a very long time.

Planetside's population and organization is much lower now. I rarley see outfits do any organized attacks minus the 666th doing a some-what organized raid every Saturday but, that is much smaller now.

Sorry if I made it sound that way, that wasn't my intention. I really just don't know. That's why I started this thread. I was curious to see how things are since I last left. Is the game still a viable MMO, or are we seeing the last days of PS. That's all I'm asking.

I remember huge battles, sometimes with all three empires. Are there still battles like this, or is it mainly small tactical skirmishes (which is fun in itself).

Just curious.

There are still larger battles - almost too many 3 way battles :p
