Hamma sent out an email to PSU accounts but it wasn't enough to maintain a decent population. Mysteriously a bug occurred in game that enable the Wasp to do insane amounts of damage to armor and maxes (Killing them in one or two clips) and thus the already small population dwindled.
Hopefully we won't get a repeat of last year. So far, the only official word has been on SOE's ghost town of an official forum. No email sent out yet letting people know. Only people who know so far are from word of mouth. Is it too late to request Hamma to send out another email?

It doesn't require having to have a subscription, or a past Planetside 1 account, you can literally make an account and your good to go. They just need a CSR to be on, use an intern or something like that, just have someone to deal with cheaters and name callers.
If it goes on Steam, that would be awesome, there are games from the 1990's and early 2000's on there doing amazing! They may even be able to put in VAC hack detection, to make things even better.
