*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

Would have to check.
I think PS hates me. I got it working, went to play this morning and my HD has died a horrible death.
only think I changed was I install PS2!!

Maybe I was just thinking of the Miller v Woodman thing on the PTR, cos I can't see anything on it now either.

Kid of glad, I have a vanu on Miller and NC on Woodman and I don't really want multiple factions on the same server.
 
There are currently 4 EU servers.

SOE have confirmed they are merging them and after the merge there will only be 2.
(I guess they may have retracted the confirmation though)

They have not confirmed how the servers are being merged.

They are discussing/investigating server smash events to name the 2 servers.

Miller is not dead at its prime time. Which is currently around 7:30 to 11pm BST.
This is however with 2 conts locks, 1 cont full and 1 with sporadic fighting.
It can be pretty dead the rest of the time.

It also seems to fluctuate pops a lot.
Its not uncommon to see pops go from 33/33/33 to 30/25/45 etc, etc all within the same hour of play. If you log on close to the end of an alert, or just afters it ended then pops can be random as well. The 4th factioners need to swap sides, the outfit events need to swap sides, and then you get loads that log off as soon as it ends.


All merging will do to Miller, is make it so there is 1 full cont, 2 75-80% full conts and 1 locked cont. So you will have more choice of where to fight, and more chance of queuing to get there.
 
I'm hoping that it will be Woodman + Miller, Cobalt + Ceres.

As I play VS on Woodman, I don't want a merge with Cobalt as KOTV + TRID would be a disaster - too many zergs destroying all the fights. VS has a slight advantage on Woodman and I believe that TR has the advantage on Miller, so it would make sense for them to be merged. And NC on both? Well, NC are just NC really... They seem to be fairly stupid on all servers :D :p

I'm hoping for this too, but only because all 3 of my characters are on Woodman and my mate is now playing on Miller and I don't wanna delete and restart.

EDIT:
Having all 3 factions on the same server can be entertaining. For example if my team are losing or if I just get bored, switch characters, Instant Action and end up back in the fight I just left but on the other side. Sometimes find myself fixing or hacking things that I previously broke or hacked...

I can't do it properly though. I've played so much NC that when I switch to VS, there's always a half second delay whenever an NC enters my sights, that ingrained reaction that says "Hold fire!".

And then he shoots me, naturally :)

Oh yeah, get a lot of that.
Also shoot my own team a bit (only a couple shots before I realise).
 
EU server merge has been announced :

Hello all -

"We know there is a lot of interest in the merges, so we want to keep you as up to date as possible. I'll be positing here as we make more final decisions. Here's what we know:

We'll be merging the following servers:

Woodman + Miller
Ceres + Cobalt

This combo was determined by various factors, but the main goals were to prevent excessive queues while maintaining a robust server pop and extending prime playing hours.

We'd like to run MergeSmashes similar to the one we did for the previous merge
We'd like to let the name be decided by the MergeSmash event (i.e. winner keeps the server name)
Here's what's left to be determined:

When the MergeSmashes will be
When the merges themselves will happen"

Cool, hope they stick to that and hope they do it quite soon.
 
Can't wait for the merge, whilst I couldn't complain about the numbers during prime time the game can feel a bit dead if you play outside of that and especially if you play outside of alerts.
