Considering going back to Planetside!

Now I know this should be in PS discussion but I don't look in there so I decided to post this here.

I've heard some good things about it since I've been gone... the BFR's have been nerfed apparently and are less rampant from what I've heard...

Some issues have been fixed and the whole thing is better then back in the day... but... is there any action?

What I mean is: If I don't play during peak hours (guessing evenings/nights) is there still enough people to make a decent battle like at the very beginning? Or is it completely empty and useless (or almost useless) to play?

There are a ton of threads on this very topic in the other forum

If you arent sure... the 360 day trial should in theory be starting soon.

I'm holding out for the reserves program, why? Because I'm cheap.

EDIT: Nevermind awnsered my own damn question! *hits head against wall*

I'm having a fun time since I've been back. Mind you I don't play constantly, but I played through beta and at the initial release and I have no complaints about the amount of action. There is always a fight going on to jump in on.

That's funny. A complete lack of original tech support has meant I just uninstalled my PS. I mean when 3 different techs give you the same solution even though the tech history and the list of what I have already done is right in front of them.....POOR SERVICE.

I really like the game and will probably return in a few months.

During off-peak hours there are always enough people to get something going, except you might have to go looking for them since most of us are soloing (mostly stealthing and other small-scale behind the lines ops....)

During peak hours there are usually a couple of large pop-locked battles going on, and its easy to find squads and platoons to join. If you are playing TR I recommend Konried or Disciples of the Apocalypse (DOTA) outfits. They are both extremely fun to zerg with. If you join, tell them Whiskeysour sent you.

Cheers.
