I played this game a long time ago, me and a few friends were thinking of starting up again, can any one tell me what the population is now?
Comments
The game went down from 5 servers to 3. And it now only has population lock per cont of 133v133v133 down from 200x3 in the old days... Emerald, Werner, Markov are the three remaining serveres. Emerald is the most populated server and will only pop lock one cont a night during prime time with a few platoons at the most running around on other conts killing each other but no second pop lock like back in the old days when the game had 5 servers.
Markov and Werner are ghost towns compared to how they used to be. Most people will probably come on here and tell you im lying but you will see for yourself if you start this game back up that I speak the truth..IT IS A SHELL OF ITSSELF.

You see, every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. 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. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith
k cool, sounds good guess i will start up again
I would be too disgusted by the whoring ads that you pay to have thrown in your face to come back. That's just one's oppinion though

All you friggin suburban white kid wannabe poobutts that are in love with G-Unit are sad and pathetic. Find your own identity
back when we had 5 servers there was like 2 to 3 cont locks on prime time, werner.
and now, if you are very luck you will see 1 cont lock on prime time
Banzai!
I don't know what the population is at now but there is still a decent amount of actions. Now generally there is 1-2 conts with action at a time. So you don't really have the option of what continent to attack but you still will have fun. I only play at the peak hours though, so I could be wrong. I think Planetside is a perfect alt game.
True, game is a shell of its heyday but still on werner one cont pop is barely possibly now at weekends.
So yeah we need a new mmofps.
On a typical night that I play (mostly Th evenings), Emerald has 1.5 to 3 continents locked. There are usually 1-2 2-way fights, and one 3-way fights.
The populations are clearly not what they used to be, but in my opinion, still fun enough to play the game at least once a week for a few hours.
