Most people don't really care much about the forums, even the devs. Most people use the PS2 reddit, so good luck with that.

Wasn't there another game they were planning on making after Starbound was 'finished"? Any word on that yet, or was it abandoned?

It'd be kinda cool to be able to use TrackIR though...

I always thought they just used the test server for events.

Mattherson merged with Waterson to become Emerald. There was some big competition to decide what the server name would be depending on who won, but the results were so close and some strange errors on multiple fronts which caused a huge stink, so people eventually just agreed to compromise on the name Emerald. It's entirely possible that the game's population has dwindled to the point where they struggle to maintain population even on their most popular server.
Ninja'd: Looks like I was mistaken. Waterson merged with Mattherson. For some reason I thought I played on Mattherson before the merge, and I knew I was on the 'losing' server. Goes to show how much I cared about my server name =p
E: Wow, I just went on PS2 to create a new character to confirm server names. I clicked "all servers" and it lists Jaeger (my original server) as being 'down' instead of not existing. Interesting, but useless.

When the game first launched they had to launch a new server to accommodate all the new players, so I was originally Jaeger. Then it got merged with Waterson, which then got merged with Mattherson (and became Emerald because people were bitching about the outcome of some kind of "merger smash" competition).
I still think this game was released about a year too early... but what's done is done. The question is... who will step up to the plate after Planetside 2? I love the concept, but I just want it... better. This is such an ambitious game I would love to see a huge studio make something like it, but it's also quite risky and difficult to do. You can already see how many corners SOE/Daybreak had to make just to get the game sort of functional, with clientside hit detection and draw distances etc.
Honestly I think a game like Battlefield could pull it off, they're basically halfway there from what I remember of Battlefield 2 in terms of concept. Mix Battlefield with OFP/ARMA and make a persistent server and there you go. But could a game like this ever retain enough players to be worthwhile over the span of several years? That's one of the main benefits round-based games have over persistent ones.

We won't know if it's good until we actually get to play it

Haven't tried aerial stuff yet but that sounds pretty awesome. I just imagine myself getting hit constantly without evade+ though. I've been using adept style as a crutch because free absolute evades. I also notice I'm barely even using sword mode even though axe mode is so weak in this iteration of the game. No love for axe mode, even though it's the main reason I use the damn weapon to begin with =(

I mean, a lot of this stuff is going on quests to get account items, or items you could just as easily get from a harvest tour. I think the mushroom gathering quest from 4u sufficed as a gathering tutorial, honestly.

Since we have someone asking where to find stuff I might as well put up some helpful links for those who might not know.
Kiranico.com is one of the first places people tell you to look when you want to know where to find X or what quests are key quests etc.
Ping's Dex is a lot like Kiranico, except it's an .EXE and the information may be organized a little better. I prefer Pingdex myself.
There are also similar things available on phones, but you'd have to find those yourself since I don't use my phone much.
One thing I want to see is a canteen guide of some sort...
I'm still in 3star village. I was doing quests in sequence until I realized how most of them are just gathering quests that seem a bit more like padding than anything useful.

Are you playing it from an SD card (downloaded) or from a cartridge?
