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.

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.

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

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

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!

[Jobotoo]

I will be there, for sure!

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

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.
