[olbaidnon]

hi i am new to planetside and got a question...

Whats the difference between TR, NC and VS ?

[Asmodeus87]

I was wondering the same thing yesterday, then I found this

PS: and they're called empires

[olbaidnon]

hehe thanks for the LInk

Another questions.....is the game balanced well between the "empires" ?

And what about the population on the Eu server Werner ? wanna start there ..

[Verstorbene]

Basically, when one empire has a higher population, other empires get bonuses. Werner has a lower global population, as I understand it. Markov has a strange population. NC can get to about 50% in the middle of the day. I don't play Emerald.

It's all about the people you play with, there are good ones and bad ones on all empires, and SOE tried to make them fairly balanced *cough*. Just find a good group of people and stick to them, and ingore most of the stuff the CR5's say.

Thanks for the info i will start on the Werner Server and hope for some german speaking guilds there....one last question: What does CR5 mean?
