Played on Briggs NC since launch. We haz good fights no doubt.

But don't trust that concise opinion. Check out the pops here:

We dont have the pop to fight on three continents and no one wants to lose Indar so most of the time we are stuck there.

Imo we lost a lot of new players early on in the game when they probably had a life expectancy of 1min per spawn (including re spawn timers).
The farming and spam was overboard and you could hardly blame the new players for giving it the flick.
Now that time is on average a little longer imo if only some of those new players would come back to check it out again.

They've taken away the /who option but at its peak we'd have a zerg force of 260 at a say a tech plant.
That figure now, at a guess, would be half but there is no way to prove it.
I think thats one reason why /who was removed for our use.

We can have some excellent fights at times but it can still be a little time consuming looking for it.

I'm happy I stayed on Briggs but I know eventually we'll have to merge like everyone else.

briggs is great. needs continent lock, though, i am tired of seeing dust.... i want to see green and luscious grass! and ice!

but still very awesome fights here!

once we got pushed back by the bastard NC because they had more tanks than i have ever seen charging towards us. but we won eventually

Yeah, jump on in, I don't want to have to get up at midnight to play!!!!!
Use it or lose it.

It's good! Get amongst it!

Yea Indar is normally full fairly reguarly. Quite common to see a good sized fight on Esamir or Amerish a few times a week if you check the maps reguarly.

Think of it as fighting 666 only worse, 24/7.

I didn't realise you still played!

It's not so bad, the NC are definitely very strong, but VS usually maintain similar pop to them, at least during prime time. When the WG's rotate again and the scatmaxes get nerfed I'd imagine that NC will lose a lot of their 4th factioners

i wished it would be more balanced, especially during those alarm events

DirtyBird · 2013-04-08, 09:59 AM

Its still not enough to pull some people away from the Crown.
But I think the alerts have been a good thing for Briggs, certainly seems like there are more people around.

delmac · 2013-04-09, 06:21 AM

yes .... more NC

mostly the server has

40% NC - 34% VC 26% TR.

it becomes frustrating ... as an TR player

If youve been playing on Connery alot and built up your character just stick with it, honestly I dont notice a difference in lag between Connery and Briggs and im not even on the NBN.

Hahaha. Come play with me on connery sometime, youll see the 666 isnt even that scary. The large hacking outfits on connery are far worse.
