So it's some kinda live event?

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.

Apparently - live streamed as well.

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

Things seem to be settling down traffic wise, sorry for the slowdown guys not a whole lot we can do in those cases.

Now you tell me. Reset my firewall, grabbed a new IP address from ISP. Yeah wow things are better now. lol. Would explain it.

Looks like Connery may be full for a day again. But if i had to guess its just going to be a zerg grindfest. As FNO was on Connery.

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.

What Clegg said. I'm not a fan of this particular event but it's good for us in the end.

So SOE removed this from the page I found it on.. whoops? :P

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.

We have been asked to take this down because the details are not finalized yet. I'll leave this thread up either way since it contains no information about the event other than a now broken link.
