EU activity?

Mastachief · 2012-04-22, 06:31 PM

Europe servers (stop using the term EU) was at times more populated than North american servers (Canadians exist ya know, it's not just USA)

Planetside2 will be on a scale never seen before. Back at planetside's release its was epic 3+ poplocks on servers at 500 players per map.

There are many VET outfits from europe sat waiting numbering many hundreds of members. Check out the 'Planetside wernerites' facebook group

I believe at one time Werner (EU server) was the most populated because it had people from all the countries in Europe playing on it.

Werner was indeed more populated before the Emerald and Markov merge, at least during Werners prime time hours, compared to those US server prime time hours.

And the community was wonderful. We had Inter-Outfit relations within all 3 factions, and each faction had at least one Outfit that did the crazy stuff like organized gal drops with 2+ Galaxys.
It was fun.

Thanks guys, currently we (Hellenic Phalanx) are looking for the beta and we don't know if we're forming our own outfit or joining an existent one, but as soon as there was activity & organisation that's great news for us. Being a former Battlefield 2142 and still loving it (after the epic fails of BC2 + BF3), PS2 is our last resort - both because it looks incredibly similar to 2142 (vehicles, guns, maps everything) and because we already competed in multi-clan campaigns in 2142 (TGW for anyone remembering).

Hope Sony doesn't mess up with the devs again, following EA's traces.

[offtopic]no offence taken mate but... why EU is not correct? Before you reply do take in account that EU is a globally accepted term in scientific literature (and not only).

Boy are you going to be in for a treat having never played PS1. You'll be wondering why you wasted all those years playing those other games. Welcome to the community.

EU (spit!) unless you mean the continent of course.

Old werner had players from UK, Ireland, Scandanavia (Nor, Swe, Den, Fin), France, Netherlands, Russia, Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Spain, Portugal and Israel.

Also quite a few friends from America.

It's funny but I don't recall a Greek presence, I don't know why. There were either no greek or not that many I suppose.

Poplock, if i remember correctly, was at 400 ppls per race ... makes 1200 per cont. we had up to 3 locked conts during 2005-2007. Big Outfits with global events organized by them. So EU was definatly populated. Alot of battles have been a stress test for my hardware. Imagine a base with 500 ppl fighting around and in it.

Im really looking forward to see the network performance of the new engine.

ps: im also worried if my actual hardware will meet good performance values.

No

Most of the time, pop lock was 133 per faction, means 400 on cont total.

The number was higher earlier in the games life, dunno how high. But 133 per faction already was madness.

PS2 will be 2000 per cont, hopefully.
