Stop letting players make VS Characters on Connery

Why is it that the Connery nc is always complaining about pops? remember back in February i believe the briggs guy came for one day they joined TR and after months and months of always being the overpopulated faction the NC guys felt what it was like being underpop so like 100 people came to the forums to complain about the TR pop just for one day of overpop... man it was really funny.

I wish my nipples could shoot green lasers...

Honestly, I enjoyed the **** out of playing NC tonight

Killing VS makes me happy.

How to solve this problem?

Mercs sound like a cool idea. But the amount of work of creating it is huge.

Instead they should do what I said above. Do away with server integrity and let all servers play with each other at anytime.

The servers will still exists. But instead of choosing one of four continents. You choose one of 4 continents of each of the 5 servers. No need to reroll to play on another server with another outfit. No need to population based faction locks. And the added benefit of playing on the continent you want to, even if its locked on a server (The chances of Indar being locked 5 times in a row is very rare).

Players get to have fair big fights (queues will enforce 33-33-33 on most continents). And players get to have small fights. Its pretty much a win win situation for the vast majority of players. I mean the only ones 'hurt' by this are ones who wish to identify with a server. But the benefits outweight those feelings of nostalgia. Anyone who's played long enough has been merged with another server anyway. This would be the final merge.

Also the best part? SOE already knows how to implement this with their Forgelight engine. Everquest Landmark already does it. And yes it works with regional servers (EU/AU) too. So you can still play on the servers that give you the best pings.

Yeah, no thanks. This isn't a BF server list where you just choose your map/game and have a shoot of stuff.

The whole point of PS2 is the persistent universe. You are 'stuck' on one server fighting the same guys, and can't get away from territory being taken or continents being locked.

Your idea would just lead to a glorified team death match (even more that it is already).

Someone's on the side with the population benefit.

Sorry its still a persistent world. You'd have '20' continents instead of 4. Yeah they'd be recolored 5 times. But the benefits outweigh the feelings of Nostalgia. Nostalgia being the basis of your argument.

As long as there is hundreds of players on a continent (this would ensure there is), then that BF reference doesn't hold weight. Maybe if BF had 1000vs1000 on a single server. Try again.

I'd be against what you're suggesting taemien. We've already got problems with hit detection. Imagine hit detection problems with added huge latency issues.
