[Zompton]

Its about damn time they do this! My return to PS, at the end of this month, will be soo epic!!! (for me atleast

[Rbstr]

YES i can finaly use my connection in big battles!!!! man i had to use 56k in those before now i can functions in them and i want it! and they Are allowing you to keep all of your old characters and even defect to other empires now.

[kreeten]

So which servers are going to merge? Johari with Konreid? or with Markov? thats the only combinations that seem necessary.

[ZjinPS]

It some how sounds dire to me.

In the announcement, the devs mention an "enhanced infrastructure" or something. When I left (one month after launch) the large battles were bogged down badly by lag. Even 20 v 20 Tower battles were a slideshow.

How's the lag now that they've done optimizations?

They have been tweaking FPS for months, its better than it ever has been now.

Lag has been steadily chipped down - I've only had problems with framerates (and that's about to change on my end).

This is good news indeed for Planetside.

The server merge is fixing the problem that PS showed for many people. Population is a self perpetuating problem. people quit due to pop problems....thus causing more pop problems. this will bring back ALOT of people.

my FPS seems to go down every time they do a patch, so much for NVidia - the way its meant to be played

[Vick]

Emerald sucks.

[Firefly]

Remember the golden days of BETA when there were like two servers? Maybe there was one more, but I don't even remember their names.

I see this as a good thing, although now added security measures have to be introduced to outfits who believe in OPSEC.

well there goes the Konreid community

Just read the login message. Man Emerald in particular is going to be busy. I will play as long as the game goes on, but it is kind of sad to see the game go from six to five to three servers.
