A very odd coincedence

Veteran · 2003-10-30, 09:09 AM

I just checked Emerald, Werner and Konried and TR controlled Ceryshen, Ishundar, Forseral and Searhus on all three servers, despite the fact that TR was outnumbered on all of them, in some cases drastically. I was on Konried when there were 5 TR in sanc and through hours of being severely underpopulated no enemy tried to take those continents.

Bug or conspiracy?

Searhus, way to be TR!

Searhus is always easy to take

I wish we could get some decent fights going on Searhus more often. It has a great lattice, and fun terrain.

On Beta searhus was always busy i believe.....

That's usually the case on Markov as well. The server population has gotten so low that we typically only fight on one continent at a time so we can maximize our population and actually have some big fights. People want to fight and have fun. No reason to protect your home continents any more. This allows small groups of sometimes one or two individuals to grab whole continents by themselves. I've seen it happen every night for a few weeks now.

Population has been very weak. I was playing yesterday afternoon on Emerald as a Terran. I forget which continent we were on but there was a nice three way battle with all the empires we were on. The battle was for the last two bases on the continent. AFter about an hour or so the Terrans were able to win the battle. When deciding where to go next another continent was mentionned but the reports came back that NC were zerging the continent in huge numbers. We went there but died about ten times in ten minutes. All the other continents were quiet ... so ... time to log off and play America's Army.

The populations have been very low and there is never more than one continent to fight on. I for one have not bought CC yet because I don't know if it is worth getting. My cousin and I play on the same account and that is the only reason we still keep the subscription going. Has anybody else felt the same way about the paucity of fighting out there?

The low populations are worriesom but I still manage to find fights every night so I plan on keeping my account for as long as the game remains fun.

I never have trouble with low populations, you folks are just playing at off peak hours. Instead of playing in the afternoon when nobody plays, play at night when everyone does. I never have trouble finding a battle at that hour.

I whould say it has something to do with the 4 shot kill MCG myself, but thats just me.

Hamma · 2003-10-30, 04:12 PM

Jackhammer has a 2 shot kill. SO you guys should be rolling over us.

Its amazing how blind each side is to the other sides weapons.

gonnagetyou · 2003-10-30, 04:13 PM

You also play on Emerald Hamma. That's the most populated server. I also have no problems finding battles, but Markov has been really dropping and there's only ever one continent with enough people to really have a big fight. The smaller fights are fun also, but when you don't have a lot of time to play you tend to just head to where you know the action is.

Hamma · 2003-10-30, 04:13 PM

As for that 4 shot mcg post, there have been a few times since BP that the NC has pushed us back to our warpgates, so don't go around posting that stuff
