Thanks! :)

Awesome! Except this isn't 'your community'
What Hamma has here is THE community!

[Hamma]

No need for that. She's getting the word out to all corners of the community :)

Waterson server is awesome!

Cocky, overpowered Vanu.
Bumbling, overpopulated TR.
Feisty, underpowered NC.

The real downside is it's a bee's nest of hackers and exploiters.

- Lagging and crashing defenders (the patch didnt' do squat).
- Killing invisibly inside spawn rooms.
- Teleporting to SCU with all the barriers up.
- Shooting through the wall/ground.

:mad:

The map will turn purple. Unless of course everyone takes the opportunity to stream snipe.

[Jobotoo]

I will be there, for sure!

[Himntor]

Indeed, but I doubt they will be too much trouble to shoot them out of the skys and off of the ground.

Should be an exciting event!

I heard about a really NASTY hack today. It was the normal no-clip aim-bot crap but with a twist. The guys getting hit by this said that the kill feed would give a random player instead of the hacker himself.

Can't claim that I get hit by this hack but it made someone broadcast the details over outfit chat and teamspeak. Some higher ups in the outfit even went as far as to say that we should not support SOE or anything about them (including the event of the 25th and Friday Night Ops) until "this shit is fixed".

Id name names and say what outfit Im trying to talk about, but without proof either way of the hacks existence Id rather not say much more than a baseless rumor. I like these guys and don't want to piss them off just yet.

Can't wait to watch. :D

Does the time frame limit Friday Night Ops to a US server-only event? We have some good servers in Europe too, you know.

Luperza has been showcasing some European Outfits too in the past so no its not limited to the U.S.

Time makes the Difference, we would be happy to have some Events,too.

:huh:How Dare you Ignoring us !:lol:

Agree, Miller would make an excellent FNO: It's a competitive server with tons of well-organized outfits that actually coordinate together.

T-Ray has come to play with us in the past, was on our Teamspeak taking questions whilst playing about the game etc...

Admittedly it wasn't FNO but it still shows that they do care about us across the pond, don't worry.

And yes, I have been on a lot of the servers during their Prime time, and to be fair Miller seems the busiest and most population healthy server out of the lot.

I dare say it but if there were to be server mergers in the future (long time coming) I have a feeling we would be the ones getting more people.

We're not far off a queue already.

I went to your twitter Luperza and saw your post on MTG. Now I want to draft :( I sold a good amount of my valuable cards 2 years ago, ~1000 or so, and donated another ~8000 to a local gaming store for their Friday Night Magic stuff. I don't want to say I regret it, because they were sort of starting to get in the way, but I do miss drafting. 3rd Edition, Ice Age, and Legends were easily some of the most fun I've had with any game although I did really enjoy Onslaught, Mirrodin, and Kamigawa.

So now I'm stuck here at work, downloading MTG:O, and everything is just going to go downhill from here :< If I disappear for a few years, now you all know why!

We do showcase EU outfits. In fact! Last week, we showcased Vanquished on Ceres. ;)

That's great to hear. I can set you up with Better Red Than Dead (www.brtd.net) if you wish (one of the bigger TR outfits on Miller) but I can imagine you are already in contact with them.
