I like how the event will be on Connery (US West), but TotalBiscuit's outfit is on one of the east coast servers, and Proboscis and SeaNanners have been on Helios (US West).

Well, Connery could definately use an influx of new characters. Hope it helps.

TotalBiscuit just linked us from his Twitter, so expect some slowdowns around here for a bit..

It was nice knowing ya.

CS will be in full force that day, so if you don't want to play planetside 2 anymore for the rest of time be my guest.

I don't understand the vet community, this event is nothing but good exposure for the game and for anybody looking to grow their outfit. All of you were once a newbie, help out the new players by embracing them instead of being upset about a PR move because it's "not how you would have done it." These new players don't deserve to be punished because they like a Youtube guy and don't know what planetside 2 is.

Yeah I agree and have said pretty much the same thing here, somewhere. Just go with the flow and have fun with it. Shoot em straight up like you are playing the game on any normal day and let happens what happens.

Its because 2/3 people have no involvement in the PS community. Thats why people are annoyed. Not blaming you guys are all, its a solid business move. But it also comes off as a pure money grab, and an attempt to keep population problems from killing the game.

I really had no interest in this because I don't play on any of those guys servers. Now that I know that it's on my server and on my day off no less, I think I'll definitly have to join in the fun.

Well said! So many negative nancy's here. BRIT players aren't the best, but can tell they have fun which is all that matters. I never hear them being complete douches in the game either, unlike some of the 'vets'.

I so hate that term, just because people are realist, doesn't make them negative.

I watched some SEANANNERS Planetside 2 video and he's funny. He is funny in a 'I get paid to play video games and make funny comments' somewhat juvenile way. He was obvioulsy inexperienced in the game and good natured about it. I hope he brings new players to the game.

Considering issues many vets on the board have with the current state of the game, poor developmental transparency and/or communicaiton from SOE it is easy to see that some may take it out on SENANNERS and/or this mysterious contest.

I enjoy the game and I think it's great but the overall direction seems erratic (Like making SEANANNERS the 'leader' and then looking for someone to organize NC 2 weeks before the mysterious contest that's been advertised for a month). Someone has a dream that this game will be everything to everyone but never worked through the details on how to get there. Or more likely they ran out of time and money on their way to the destination. Certainly better communication would be an easy fix for SOE but that does not seem possilbe.

I was on the server one day when it shut down for schedlued maintenance to remove the 2x XP from the Holiday. 30 minutes later there was a post in the official forum. It was not a big deal but when things like that pile up, people say nasty stuff in forums about internet video game celebreties.

I think it is one of those "Mind says support - heart says mock" kind of deals.

It makes sense that your doing it but - but the tought of being led by some guy who barely knows the game just isnt attractive.
