Thats cause there are probably 50 people that even play on Werner.... I would have thought they would have shut it down by now....

You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.

Greyed, excellent points made. I agree with most of it, as I do with a number of other points made in this post by other people.
I played Planetside off and on through beta and up until the point just before the BFRs and the increase to rank 23 (?). It was an incredible game from the start and slowly went totally down the drain (ie CC and beyond). I've always felt Planetside was the game with the most POTENTIAL to be great, and was such a let down with the way the company let it go.
If it went the route of more strategy based in order to be successful (love your idea about bad leaders losing rank), instead of a free for all zerg-fest, I would still be playing it.
Personally, I think one of the major problems with PS, like it has already been said, is that facilites are too easy to take back and once they are captured, there's no real sense of accomplishment except for the exp earned both for BR CR. I remember numerious times fighting as TR (my favorite) trying to take over Amerish for like one to two hours, then the big swarm of VS comes off the other continents and takes everything in a matter of 20-30 min tops....maybe less. So once that has happend, the only thing you have really accomplished for your one to two hours spent is the BR and CR you earned and that's about it.
As to major changes to this and other problems killing PS, I highly doubt they will be addressed as the game is dying out. I was apart of alot of major guilds on Emerald...only to come back a month after not playing and see that they no longer exsist along with a few other major guilds. Not to mention the server merg becuase the other servers were basically abandoned with very few people in sight.
This is truely a great game IMO as I have played for at least a year, but with all the other MMORPG's out there, I think it's only a matter of time when SoE decides to shut down PS because of severely lacking subscribers.
