I hope that the populations for PS2 are so great that even if we have regional servers, the US servers will be packed 24/7. But realistically I think that is doubtful.

And yeah, the majority of Chinese on Gemini are TR. It must be the red.

Or it could be the oppressive nature of the TR attracts Chinese players.All that killing of freedom loving people and controlling of all bussiness and personal matters. After all the eventual takeover of the World by the Cinese will lead to the real Terran Republic.

And when people wonder where the origins this national symbol came from

They can point to Planetside 2.

That's pretty cool honestly. If PS2 wasn't a major player before, putting it on a Soccer Jersey will make it official(That's right, I called it Soccer, what're you gonna do about it?

)

I don't think drogba would put his name or face to a MMO. That picture is just him and the CEO with the football shirt.

And why not?

Nicolas Anelka, who also plays for Shanghai Shenshua, is being used to market Firefall, also published by The9.

If they decided to use Anelka for Firefall, I don't see why they wouldn't use Drogba for Planetside 2.
And I bet they've got the money to make Drogba accept it... Which he did, if you look at the second picture (Drogba with a jersey with Planetside 2 written in chinese on it)

Proof about Anelka?

We are really excited about the efforts our partners are putting into promoting PlanetSide 2 over there. If it's not obvious, the sports endorsement is huge not to mention that is one of the biggest show booths I've ever seen. China Joy is one of the biggest game shows in the world. Last numbers I saw were well over 150,000 (think Comic Con size).

China playing planetside 2 wont affect the US planetside 2, the only thing to come out of this is money for SOE to keep planetside 2 going so chill your jets dude.

Well, as I said earlier, we've seen what you guys had for North America, we've seen what The9 has for China/Asia, now I wanna see what Pro7 has for Europe

Any idea of when they will start the marketing efforts?
I'd guess next GamesCom, but it'd be nice to hear it from you or that Pro7 community person who posts on here (I forgot his nickname).

You don't really get the point of that thread, do you?

It's not about how it'll affect the US. You know there are people who aren't from the US on here, right?
It's about how it'll affect Planetside's success, and about PS2 marketing around the world.

Just as long as the servers don't fall over as much as Drogba

UnDeAdKiTtY · 2012-06-28, 03:18 PM

I get the point of the thread, they are signing people for Esports and big conventions. I'm saying chill your jets to people talking above.

ProSieben.Sat.1 will have a sizable presence at GamesCom for PlanetSide 2. It will be really hard to miss.
