How active are the other 2 servers compaired to my home(Vector) SMILEY

Some how we need to get more players to MERGE over and join the war... Any Thoughts and/or Ideas?

Server mergers have already been discussed into the ground. They're not happening any time soon:

#36300509631 10/13/2008 08:41:12 Re:VECTOR.
Most active server is Syntax, then Recursion, then Vector. So yea, both other servers are more populated than Vector.

lol what? I ain't saw reccy hit medium in a long while. Vector is hitting medium like every other night i think over the past 2 weeks.

Yeah i have to agree with Pr20 here, get your dam butts over and stop being care bears SMILEY 

Pr, a tip, about 50% of vectors population is blue to you.

If a server merge was to happen with Vector, it would have to be hostile. Reccy/Syn won't happen considerin Syn is already highly populated and lag would go through the roof. I think some kind of deal should be set with the players, a transfer over to the hostile server (oh yeah we'd need to actually steal the Rec server, ours is nacked SMILEY) and then use Vector as a test server. The whole, its unfair to not lvl up on a hostile then transfer is a load of ballogne. I would care less. If it gives me more people to kill/team with i'm not bothered.

Just don't understand why people pick non hostile over hostile. Thats like buying a brill game but playing it on easy for years on end, boring. First MMO and saw HOSTILE, i was like dam right. I play to fight against others (or run from SMILEY)

LOL mission team pvp is brill. Never see that in a month of sundays over there...

I'm sure Rarebit posted somewhere saying it was Syntax, Recursion, Vector? *shrugs* Also depens on your timezone as to when the servers light up.

I support the effort to make Recursion the new test server as discussed at fanfaire!

What you didnt attend fanfaire... you missed a very lively discussion at the round table!.. well it was square..

Then where would everyone who's on Recursion have their characters? There are people on there, you just have to hit it at the right time for the right timezone: things usually pick up around the early evenings EST.

Sorry, i only just realised i was playing a game, and there was me thinking i was signed up for a music forum SMILEY

I will always flag regardless of odds, and your 24/7 pvp is garbage.

Vector is fun indeed, especially the lowbies. They -still- complain if you kill them in a construct. I mean, what the hell, those are PvP-enabled (exception Sati's, DM is FFA) on the "carebear" servers like all of Vector.

I am sure I saw a post from rarebit a while ago saying Vector as becoming just as populated as one of the other servers cant remember which.

But Vector has had good numbers lately.

Plus we dont need crews full of alta from mains on other servers that you never see in my opinion.

At fanfaire he stated that he liked seeing all the servers on medium..  He went on to say Syntax has the numbers.. but that as of late the recursion server has mainly been busy during an event, while vectors population is growing.

Perhaps he could jump in and tell it like it is.. as opposed to us guessing..etc...

I would like to say.. I like playing on recursion.. I havent spent enough time on Syntax to have an opinion there.  Vector is my home, I have to hand it to all the old school vector players who came up getting messed with by the larger population of CQ hoarders theres another word im thinking of here but will hold my tongue.

It was impressive to see we had a larger turnout at fanfaire than EQ.. and SOE took notice..

Not that we will be getting cookies for it etc.. but atleast they recognize...

To all my Matrix comrades lets keep up the good fight, and get along.

Peace

Ok well firstly numbers are totally dependant on timezones. I think Syntax is geared towards more European gamers while Recursion is more US while Vector is.... Generic I think Heh.

In overall terms I think Rarebit stated that Vectors numbers have recently been rising. In the past It's most definetally been Syntax, Recursion, Vector but recently he stated that Vectors numbers are reaching that of Syntax's numbers. so it sounds more like it's going Syntax, Vector, Recursion but only Rarebit or another dev could tell you for definate. (Which I don't think they're allowed to)

As it's been stated Server Merges have been talked about to death and at least in my opinion about it another server merge would be fatal to the game just because it's started with 9 Servers and gone down to 3. Finally Vector would never be merged due to one non hostile server would be required to join with it if not both so either Vector would have to go non-Hostile or a non-Hostile server would have to go Hostile, and with the fact that Character transfers are unavailable due to database problems it would be impractical.

Finally just going to state that not everybody on Vector fits into the stereotypical views most people have of Vector players so please don't bash us all with "Vector sucks" just because you got killed as a lowbie by some random person, plus you can always take comfort in the fact that the person that killed you went through it as well.
I happily admit that I am one of those ppl that will hunt down the lowbie!  It was done to me(Enumerator...'nuff said) and I thoroughly enjoy passing on the lesson.

PVP...RP.....its all good on Vector.   Do we have the Red=Dead mentality?!?! Not so much as it used to be.   But their out there../pointme.  I still feel that if you want the 'true' Matrixy experiance a Hostile server is the way to grind.  Even if you have a 50 somewhere else, the experiance of lvling up on Vector is well worth it.

I personally don't think there is much of an experiance any more, doesn't matter what server you play on you most likely end up grinding missions alone for hours upon hours, or even in a small group of faction peeps, all alone without much if any interruption (or any other signs of life for that matter).


yeah sure used to be great when you had whole guilds hunting you and your group down because you called them and their server scrubs.. 18months - 24months ago (even then it was starting to become a rare sight), however that just doesn't happen any more, this seems like a 1player game untill you hit 50, where your task is then hunting down signs of life on whatever server you play on to attempt to get some decent PvP.

I just find the 'Vector FTW', 'Vector FTL', 'Syntax FTL', and so on and so forth, posts to be almost as annoying, if not more, as posts about the female gi's.

I bet this time next week, we'll have the thread saying how much we are all a great group, no matter what server we're on...
#36300509924 10/13/2008 18:47:43 Re:VECTOR.
my $0.02

I don't tend to play Vector as I have about 3 hours a week max... I'd rather not spend it running from lowbie hunters (unless that gave me the XP that missions do)
It might be more Matrixy... but you can rest assured I'd unsub if it was perma PVP everywhere.

PvP would be fine if it was more skill based and less "I've had a bazillion hours to get all the good clothes"

As it stands PvP has nothing to offer me. And before you ask I have 101 CQs (like I said... no interest in it)

Strange then how I see more Vector recruitment threads or random posts about Vector FTW and Syntax/Recursion FTL or Carebear servers then posts about Vector sucking. I don't think it does, I just prefer to play how I want.
I originally choose Vector when I started playing this game just because of the "Hostile" next to it on the server list, and I have never tried another server because I would rather mutilate my self with a rusty spoon than level another character all the way to 50. I do like the mass PvP, but I envy the large population of Syntax. The fact is Rec/Syn aren't better than Vector, just different.

@Vinia: With all due respect, playing on Vector doesn't mean we don't have a choice on what we want to do. Playing on Vector is our choice, our choice to be able to attack anyone and be attacked by anyone. I'm sure Rec and Syn have plenty of PvP, maybe more than Vector. Our environment is just different. We still have RP, PvP, and PvE.

Syntax = Most Active
Recursion = Active just enough to beat out Vector. Not without a ghost town Mara C or two.
Vector = Can be the Most fun I suppose. No standing around waiting for your pals to arrive at your location, before they flag.

It's really quite simple.
Vector has the skill. Most cqs, most pvp, etc etc best players imo. Not surprising, because Enumerator and Input went up in Vector, which probably harboured some of the best players ever to play the game.
Syntax/Recursion is there for the ones who like to decompile items all day and talk about the new sigs they just made for their faction. O yea, and ofcourse to farm those Seraphims SMILEY Sure, there's your occasional stand-out. But overall they couldn't last an hour against Vector's finest, and I'm willing to put my info and reputation on that.
The only reason syntax/recursion has got some spice now is because of the alts from Vector.

So...imo ur cry for merge is futile. They won't come here because it's too rowdy, and we won't go there because there's no challenge.
Riiiiiight. lol

Not expecting pre-CR2 peeps to understand, so it's ok dude SMILEY
Right, because I didn't play in CR1.0, that means I can't see when someone insults a server and talks how his is all mighty and godlike. Why is it, if Vector is so awesome and amazing that one of their players comes over to Syntax for an hour, just to insult players and spam gg? Seems to me it isn't so great, but I'll keep my opinion to myself since I don't have a 50 there.
