Hey guys. As the title says I'm a new player. I have played a few hours on Connery and have enjoyed it so far. However, I would like to play on a heavy pop server to be in big battles. I don't care about pop distribution, or the fourth faction thing (I will prolly put all 3 of my slots on the server, but I'm the type who fights with the underdogs as that's more fun to me), I just want LARGE battles. Which US servers have the highest pop, or highest pop on at anytime. I work nights and tend to be on at random hours. My GMT is -6 if that helps any. Thanks in advance.
Emerald is the biggest server by far with 2500+ people online during prime time. Connery is much smaller and the other servers are ghost towns.
I was playing at 5am EST on Emerald this morning and we had a nice little 24v24 going on between Vanu Archives and Crossroads. It stayed 24v24ish for about 90 minutes and then I had to go to someplace called work.
Emerald it is then. I hear the TR in Emerald is bad (I've been reading the forums since every time I try to launch the game it just freezes and takes a pc reboot to fix) so I will be joining them. Can't wait till I get enough experience to no longer be considered part of the Zerg. I don't play FPSs much, but I play the hell out of strat and tactical games lol. Either way I will have Loads of fun. PS: Validation fixed my problem (took bloody forever). Joined Emerald as the TR. Names DZEzeal if any cares
Careful which server and side you choose because Higby's forumside clan has made it impossible to get the server transfer tokens that were promised over a year ago.
...wow. The heck did they do? Anyways, I already made a TR and a NC on Emerald. VS is too overpoped so left my VC on Connery.
Then again, closest server means better pings. With the terrible hit detection in this game, you NEED good pings.
