Under performing means the Homecoming team said it [MelleXJoe poster said it]- it's the Homecoming team's servers, they decide and do what they see practical. I trust they take in to account what you described - they've been at this for nearly half a decade now.

I think we could run this again, same format, any shard. I'll try and get more of the info added in to my commentary ahead of time so I'm not just typing while on auto run to the next hidden spot lol

We've got plenty of released names for players or SG creation, no lag or queues, and plenty of long time players who can help out with new players or transfers from other shards. Oh, and we also have double xp now 😉

Ah yes, another reason to play on Indomitable!

The Homecoming team doesn't speak for or have any control over any other server. I think you may find your answer by asking these questions to the other servers you mentioned.

As long as the lights stay on, I'll be on Indom!

See above post. It was in the second post in this thread.

Speaking of plenty of room with no lag or queues, have you heard about Indomitable?

I think the current talent is well suited and the update speed of this free game is incredibly fast considering. What are you comparing it to to expect more?

Way to go team! I hope you can continue your vision of the game in to the future. Is anyone from the Homecoming team willing to share their thoughts about this change on a personal level? I'll just share that I'm glad the work everyone put in has accomplished this!

It was alluded to above: Monday, January 1st at 8pm GMT/12 PST/3EST on the Excelsior shard where we will meet at the Atlas Park Auction House. Edit: I'm @Glacier Peak and I'll be on the character Psychochronokinesis

That works for me! Thanks for putting the time together - I am good for any server, just let me know so I can transfer.

I'll bandwagon on to Ice/Cold Corruptor. Best powerset combination in the game for solo, team, or otherwise. Can't go wrong!

I'd wager it's the initials of the artist who made that.

Where to go, what to see... one of the first things I did when I got back in to this game in 2019 was start hunting down geometry errors in the game. Areas in zones where parts of the game geometry is skewered or there's holes to underneath the map. I managed to get out of every zone, including the Shadow Shard, within the first year back. Sadly, many of my tricks have been patched that allowed me to do so, but I'm happy to help guide players to cool areas in game. I'll list a few that I'm comfortably familiar with and could shepherd any tourists to. I'll bring a character to any server chosen and they will have Group Fly, Teammate TPs, etc. I am Mountain Time in the U.S., but if its the weekend I can touch over on EU times. 1. Pocket D (anywhere, I made a YouTube video showing how) 2. Any PvP Zone - anything of interest, any under map stuff just for sight seeing (no exploits!) 3. Atlas Park (some folks don't know about the skyscraper green house) 4. Echo Faultline (how to get behind the dam) 5. Peregrine Island - undermap to show original way to get to the blue cube, aka dev room, aka blue room, aka arena waiting area. 6. Talos Island - undermap same as above 7. Paragon Dance Party (Original Pocket D) 8. Behind the Sonic Fences in any Goldside zone. 9. Echo Plaza Easter Eggs 10. RWZ Council Base (Men in Black homage) 11. Dr. Vahziloks Lab in the Abandon Sewer Network That's about all I can think of right now.

Yikes! That's a lot of bad ideas in one post. There's a few bases spread across the servers that are truly awe inspiring, I don't have any, but I'd feel terrible for the folks who put their hearts and many hours in to them to find them deleted just to merge a server. Have you been to any Halloween themed bases? Wow. RP and PvP beggars? Wut? Instead of merging any servers, just don't. There are server transfers for a reason. Basically unlimited too. Players will go where they choose.

Is that the Pocket D card on your desk!? That used to give players exclusive access to the Tiki Room, right?

Nope

It's a easter egg from the movie 'Castaway'

Finally got around to watching this a year later. I thought it was true to the series. Classic villains, chases, and mcguffin. Spoilers ahead:

Great way to start a wall of text! Edit: Oh and welcome back! Edit 2: I think even without the Double XP temp active, and aside from turning off XP entirely, one could start intentionally incurring debt after Level 10 as a way to slow their leveling journey. Debt is rather trivial at this point.

To answer your first question, no. There are only player-led (sometimes HC-sponsored prizes) or player-created events these days for PvP in the Arena and PvP zone play occasionally on Excelsior if you're interested. There is some aspect to grinding for enhancements needed to "max out" aspects of a build for any given situation, but the journey was made much easier by the Homecoming team for folks interested solely in PvP (an instant Level 50 that is secluded to PvP zones/Arena/ Pocket D only).

Making and breaking things takes time. Ideas from different volunteers start out as concepts, sometimes they get implemented, sometimes not, only for the outcome to be unsatisfactory once finally tested by other volunteers. In my opinion, it's reasonable to ask what's going on with development. I would say to folks who are both curious AND interested in supporting the development of content to go join the closed beta testers. Or look at other ways to support this gaming community if you have the time.
