That's so cool. I was stuck on Cyssor, Emerald, trying to get my reaver out after dying.

TR pulls all the strings. We just used you to clean our bases.

In the end it came down to 8 VS, only one of whom had a vehicle (me - a lightning), against air-supported heavy armor, maxs, and infantry . . .

It was fun for a while, but the long drive in through the warpgate was getting annoying.

But we held out just long enough

I see the server Merger is here just in time.

And Damn!!!! Only several hours earlier we were pushed off Amerish, Oshur, and all Home Continents were not ours. Good Job comming back.

From that pic, Wolf, it couldn't of been that hard to cap all the continents if there were 100+ posistions avalible on the last continent.

Nice to see the NC start kicking ass.

Dude that sucks

But I've already done it on the test server.

you guys put up a good scrap, i could hear the gun fire and explosions from outside as the infantry finished up the last of the defenders. i was the vanguard gunner, i wish i knew who that max on the roof was shooting at us i got a great shot on him smacked him in the head with my main gun.

grats to you guys, but this just doesn't happen at peak times when there are actually people playing. You guys probably had about 80% of the population or more. If there were only 8 VS, where were the Terrans at and why weren't they hacking their own bases? But good job anyway.

FireZ · 2003-12-03, 11:19 AM

definite proof that the server merge is needed...this would have never happened if there was enough people around.

it took about 13 hours for every continent to be locked thats through peak hours. the terrans were kicked off amerish right before we got to ikanam. as we were in the process of taking the reddies last tower the barney's started attacking and disrupting us. seriously do you guys think all those continents were locked in 15 minutes?

Yea, it happened in 13 hours

. Your buddy I just quoted said that you basically had no continents during peak time. It happened cause everyone logged off at 4 am and there were more of you than them. This can happen in about 2 hours, I've seen it. All you need is 3/4 of the population and you run rampid through all the empty bases. with all the lattice links and no opposition, you can caputure a continent fully in an hour or less depending on where the LLUs are located on the map.

InfiniteStorm · 2003-12-03, 02:16 PM

well, i checked, it wasn't 4 am. Through peak hours last night NC was losing on Konreid all night, then at 12 am, the NC went on a tear and by 2 or 3 am had 91% of the bases. around 4-5 am they had 99%. This begs the question, where did all the VS and TR go?

And I agree, further proof that the server mergers need to happen.
