It's all because Clegg doesn't want to shave his head.

Things don't seem to take long to jump because no fucker plays on PTS. Live is test!

Amerish has some water features.

Granted, they are in the middle of nowhere...

Didn't expect to get to see Hossin so soon. It felt like it was going to be forever. Not that I was impatient, I'd rather they spent the time to make it real good. I guess I was resigned to the fact we wouldn't be seeing Hossin anytime soon. Then again, its nowhere near release yet

I am so happy for this. Amerish doesn't play that bad with the old lattice system due to the terrain anyway.... (at least not as bad as Esamir did... that was horrible)

A new cont is much better for SOE live and bring back interest in players than redoing a cont that usually had minimal activity except for alerts.

untill we have the global lattice though, i fear that hossin might turn into the same minimal activity like amerish

Looking forward to this. Will be nice to have somewhere new.

i hope Hossin wont be boring as esamir or Amerish. Indar is good it has variety. how about making a continent that doesnt look like a square?

Addendum: Boring for YOU.

I can't stand Indar, over played it during Beta. Amerish is my fav. Although with Esamir's make over it's quickly becoming the one I use the most these days.

Really looking forward to Hossin. It was always one of my favorite continents. Test client updated and ready to go

The lack of people on the PTS IMO is mostly down to the lack of awesome shit landing on there ! If Hossin + Interlink facilities + big fucking trees doesn't pull in the punters for a organised public test then i don't know what will !

Its easily the most exciting thing to land on there so far since release.

I recall test server on PS1 being more useful for fight tests. The difference between PS1 and ps2 was, ps1 was not available all the time, tests were set up prior and announce, e.g. Wed at 3 pm. A test always had a goad, e.g. NC defend base X while TR + VS attempt to capture it.
