Or we could try to find a way to even out the player numbers left within our small player base.  SFC4 is a long way off.  Putting up the Forge and forgetting about any other servers will really put an end to this game.

It's dead Jim

Rigors' setting in Jim.

4 people on average go missing from the kitties for 2 days and it's over. What player base? You want to kid yourself otherwise, go ahead.

Actually, the numbers on AoTK 4 were not THAT bad.

And considering Pesty's got the upcoming Hardcore Forge campaign...

Why, I think we just might have a little life there!!!

Why not set up a race limit registration system.  When you register to fly a camp, you have to register what race/side you're gonna fly on, but have the registration server set up so that you can only register to fly for that race/side so long as the number of players registered for all races/sides are no more than say a difference of 2 from the largest populated to the smallest populated.

And since in most OP camps it's usually 2 sides anyway, have it so that if you want to fly Alliance or Coalition, and say Alliance has more players registered than Coalition, an Alliance pilot can't register to fly until such time as someone registers for Coalition, or they register to fly Coalition.
The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.

This would not have made a difference with this particular server.   Signing up doesn't matter, showing up does.

As with previous servers the forge doesn't come back online until the present server concludes. I eagerly await the return of the forge when this server has run it's course.

Come join us and help us show the Kitties have teeth.. to the very end!

I'll devote every single pp point I have to Ops and giving our opponents a worthy battle!  I invite you to come face our odds... I'll give battle to the very end.

In every war there is a winner and a loser... I can be fine with being on the losing side so long as I gave my all.

This I'll do irregardless of what I face!  Any aid is welcome, there is nothing better than facing losing odds and fighting with honour!



(builds character my friend, who honestly is going to lose sleep over losing, so long as we fought hard?  Is that really a loss? I think not.)

F9th Ryker always suggested this but D2 is different than D3 as most want to fly the Race they much prefer and it takes awhile to get use to another on a server.It is a lot diferent than a D3 server as you don't have to watch your power managnement more.

Believe me, everyone wants to fly the race of their preference on D3 camps.  However, regardless of the mod, 1 or 2 races always heavily outnumbered.  That's why such a system was implemented in the first place.

I doubt power management has anything to do with it, honestly.
