It's a bit worrying when there's only 3 people in plaza 1, and 2 of them are me. :(

I hope KK are going to get DoY finished soon.

they just smell cause certain people had to "water" the plants:p

MrChumble
19-03-04, 14:14
I've always used P1 as the barometer of how busy the server is. If there's 3 people then the server in general is probably pretty dead :(

Maybe it's cos it's the middle of the day and most people are at school/work (unlike skiving slackers such as myself) but still, the server pop does feel like it's shrinking fast. Maybe it's just cos it's the same old enemies day in day out.

Come on KK, release DoY already :D

Hey Glok, you're in CA now?

Well you aren't the only CA player on Pluto - there must be.. oh... 30 of us at least! :D

Granted, it doesnt quite live up to the 1000+ runners which are registered on the CityCom but you cant have everything..

Glok
19-03-04, 14:21
Oh yeah, I forgot you. Sowwy. My intentions are anything but honorable tho... the biggest clans on Pluto are in Crahn, tsu, bd, TG... muahaha, course, they will likely kill me far more often than I kill them, but hey, it will be fun until I run out of money. :D

Plaza 2 is far busier than plaza 1 since the medicare guards went psycho.

Although the population is fairly low at times alot of those people are active and killing eachother.

maybe because you can only have 1 char on pluto... oh no... wait... kk supports people having multiple accounts, going against the idea of a "hardcore" 1 char server

:edit: @gary - how does having alts on different accounts make it easier to get to know someone than having alts on the same account? O_o

Alas, yes.

I started out on Pluto cos this is where my mates played and I was too noob to argue with them. Now I'm set up here and I know the people I don't want to move :)

I've never been very impressed with the other servers and as this is the only game I play 5 accounts doesn't really set me back much (to compare I used to pay £80 a month for a CS server box for my clan, so I could still have a few more accounts and not feel like I was being cheated of my money :))

There is a fair amount of irony though; I like pluto because of the 1 slot thing, the economy is less screwed and (with a larger player base) the politics seem a little less whacked (although they are so screwed now it's almost irrelevent which faction you're in).

yeah there are alot of unclanned rpers or they are in small clans...and the reason for that and for the low population on pluto is that 90 % of pluto`s clans suck

i played pluto since it went live and in the last month i know at least 10 people who quit / went inactive or changed server....

pluto simply became lame.

Yup :(

I'm really really hoping that there's a huge influx of noobies with DoY, and that they don't all get scared off by a combination of bugs, aggro from experienced players and the general llamaness of the community.
If Pluto had double the player base it would almost certainly rule again :D

doesnt jupiter have double pluto's playerbase? i just made a noob there (although i dont speak a word of german... well... cant type any anyway - sheiza! schnell! ... thats all i can say)

:edit: @ Ivory - no that fucks the economy...

GT_Rince
19-03-04, 16:42
Yeah - I also started a character on Jupiter. Some things are obvious straight away...

No trade spam - Trade is actually quiet = a nice change.
1st time out of my apartment I walked out into a full scale war between about 3 clans. I am glad I had my LE in...

Made a real change to see some action. I saw no PP1 zone fighting (although I am sure it happens), but move further into PP and it got real interesting.

But this is just something for a change for me - not saying I have left Pluto - just... having a change...!

i dont know... pvp is simply fubared on pluto..
it seems both sides wont change ..so new players would simply join those clans and go on with the lame shit...

at the end its the same =/

and yea jester... jup got ALOT more people and they dont use the same lame shit like pluto :)

I am also giving saturn a chance but it seems I'm permanently back on Pluto soon again. I mean full-time. It's almost impossible to get hold of SF on saturn, TG faction is fucked up to the lowest hell (they KOS everyone who is not crahn or TG no matter which rank you are) and there's absolutely NO ONE leveling at CRP EVER! My patience with saturn is about to end. I mean what the hell could I do with no one caving? Go caving alone? Level up at MB bunker until I'm capped? :lol: No way.

The one thing that does annoy me on Pluto is the Clan Bandwagon jumping.

You occasionally get clans who are flavour of the month, eXo were in danger of that but we've put a cap on recruitment at the moment :p

And my day so far has been sending the same e-mail to people about our sites:


Thank you for your recent e-mail.

Recently we have been experiencing some server problems which were causing certain areas of the site to either load very slow or just not load at all. Some of these problems are still present but our technical team are working as fast as possible to correct any errors.

If you are finding that you are still having trouble in accessing the site then please can you provide me with the link or Volume/Issue that you are trying to access so that I can further investigate, and may be able to get the data to you by other means.

Apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused you.

Well that's really fucked up... BD and PP are allies after all.

And i got no parts at all on saturn since i started there few days ago all alone and I'm too low level to go hunt WBs and such.

I have money on me though. But I can assure that I sure wont pay more than 800k for a damn SF :lol:

Its all about the clan you're in and the enemies you have in my opinion, I'm in a great clan on Pluto, our enemies hate us and we hate them but I am also in a great clan on Saturn with plenty of action and muppets to shoot.

My problem with Saturn is the faction jumpers, random PKers killing low levels to show their 'l33t skillz' and people turning up on allied alts to kill you cause you killed them.

My problem with Pluto is the lack of people.

If Saturn and Pluto were merged and the game could handle 600+ people I'd be pretty happy, I only use 3 of my saturn slots anyway :)

Still I enjoy both servers and I dont see any major reason why one would be considered better than the other

There is no one on Pluto. Any numbers you see on the server selection screen are hallucinations. No one has logged into Pluto for over 9 months. There are no clans, no faction councellors, no events, and no mobs spawning. The server's dead. If it wasn't nailed to the racks it would be pushing up the daisies.

---

The reason you don't find people in Plaza 1 is that the CA guards next to the GRs shoot anti-City on sight. They also like to get stuck in the columns, so they're not always avoidable. Because Pluto's biggest factions are anti-city (TG/Crahn/BD/Tsunami), all those tradeskill-enabled characters are hanging in Plaza 2 or Plaza 3. That's why those benches were installed in PL2/3/4...

The shift from safezone to no-safezone servers is causing this. There's nothing you can do about it as this is the way KK wants it. If you need tradeskills, shout on Skill-NC or Trade-NC, or you can wait for N.C.F. to log all their characters in and see if they'll help you.

Plaza 1 is not what it used to be, and I doubt it ever will be again.

Ontopic: It would seem most people are anti city atm on pluto, and anti city is banned from plaza 1. Try leaving custom channels open, you're most likely to hear from ppl that way.

20-03-04, 01:30
Eh,

I tried to do my part and play on pluto everytime I logged on, but the lack of tradeskillers is friggin horrid.

Tried to join a CA clan, spammed faction for a good 3 hours...i know they were on cause they were all at the 'meeting for ca newbs'...noone responded...guess they don't need any help.

As far as I can see, it will be impossible for me to get the weapons I need to survive on pluto...so...i gave up.

20-03-04, 01:40
You must be doing something wrong, trigger. All the way from noob to my current 92 psi, I had modules ressed and built on separate occasions as I reached them. I had 3 separate batches of energy beams built to end up with a measly 3 slotter (but I ultimated it, so it's artifact damage and 116 freq :D)... maybe you were trying on off hours?

John_Ravenhawk
20-03-04, 01:54
I gave up construction and researching because of Slot-whores as I affectionally like to call everyone who wanted something built.. It seemed like if you didn't get at least 4 slots on a weapon people weren't satisfied.. So I gave it up *** Never felt Better *** Now I love the game.

Glok
20-03-04, 01:55
Hybrid monks need those slots. Desperately.

I'm really rather ashamed I'm using my ultimated energy beam to level, but it is painful using a lesser module, the damage really suffers. No matter tho, I figure it will be at 80%/80% when I cap psi, so no matter.

John_Ravenhawk
20-03-04, 01:57
Then put those points in Construction and make your own stuff and don't give me grief because I didn't get 4 slots.

Glok
20-03-04, 02:00
Don't be ridiculous, I never blame the constructor. I know how slots work, and I know psi modules for some reason are harder to slot.

In fact, every constructor I have used has told me to DM them the next time I need a batch, because I tip well, and I never complain. :)

I dont think im doing anything wrong...but i think the tradeskillers probably play earlier in the day than I do. I usually dont get home from work until 6:00pm est, at which time, I don't log on immediatly. I've been staring at a computer all day. Kinda need a little nap and a break.
