Why do we need another shard when we don't have the population to fill just one?

When I try to fill up a team these days it is extremely hard except for only one hour in prime time on weekdays. They should be merging and eliminating shards. Not adding new ones.

 

The title question comes from a lack of knowledge.  Victory was an existing, separate CoH server which has now joined Homecoming.

 

As for merging servers - no.  Bad idea.

Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

As for filling teams.  Less you state server your on, we speculate. Sure Indom/Reunion are very low pop. But folks go there mostly to solo or team with specific people and not deal with the sloven masses on X or Eve.

 

Also, "A lot" of folks are not aware CoH has a Rating & Note System for accounts.  Maybe folks gave you 1 star reviews with notes on why and when you advert and they check your account.  They are like oh, yah, pass.  Before you or someone else complains about that. It's personal review. Only person doing the ranking/adding stars and possibly seeing said stars above characters heads for that account can see it.

I demand you all rate me “bestest”.  Log in now and do that. I will wait.

I think my note mentioned "Great value on forums, be wary on PUGS, they're fine, but tends to attract unsavory types"

Get busy living... or get busy dying.  That's goddamn right.

     The rating system is really useful.  You can write all kinds of helpful notes about people like their Mains and simply having any stars above their head will let you know that you've played with them before: they're like little secret reminders.  And hey... if every once in a while you write a note that happens to end in "kick on sight" and it happens to have 1 star... y'know that's totally fine.  You play the game how you want (everyone does this), and you are within your rights to avoid players who make your experience feel awful.

Treating everyone fairly is great; unfair discrimination is badwrong!

I do not believe the false notion that "your ignorance is just as good as my knowledge."

when Dian admitted to playing on Excelsior and can't form a team...

 

...man, it's time to make a new account and seriously reconsider your public image.

The red side population is extremely tiny.

 

Yes. It is.

 

In regards to character names:

It wouldn't be that hard. Other shards have a population of like 20 or 30. Everlasting about 125. Excelsior is about 450

 

Do you understand that those numbers are the number of characters currently online at the time you are looking at the numbers and not the number of characters that have been created on those servers or the number of characters that may be online on those servers at other times of the day?

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications)

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.
