I find that the quality of the fighters in the NC and TR vary heavily. The only constant is Vanu, who all suck horribly until they can muster up enough numbers to actually win.

I find that TR has the highest average skill of players, NC has better players in outfits/platoons, and VS just watch broodingly until everyone goes to sleep to retake land.

And then we swoop in faster than you can believe. We are good about that.

Are we opening the faction debate again? I'd like to say once again, it would be by far the best if we just chose ONE unified faction and server, I don't care which. The Bay12 community isn't really big enough to split up. Previously people have been by far in favor of NC but if there's been a change in attitude, works for me.

I suppose I should say, I still favor the method of battle of Short Story Contest instead of just arguing about which faction is better. Technically I never closed the old one, but I think all the previous entries have been for NC.

You only recieve a key when you buy alpha squad.
They've been sending out buddy keys to players in some newsletters. I've gotten two in the last month.

I can tell you that after playing a bit I dislike the NC equipment and will likely be making VS my 'primary' empire but if B12 goes with NC I'll make an NC to play with you guys sometimes.

You won't get any of the alpha squad stuff until release though iirc.

Amerish basically took Indar, made it more claustrophobic, and added a bunch of trees and grass. It's not quite a rainforest and not quite a savanna, and I think it would have been better if it was more toward the former.

Esamir's a relatively flat, frozen hellhole. Lets you concentrate on what matters: shooting the fuck out of your enemies.

There is no discussion. It's NC in Thebe (US server). Let's not get scattered. It's hard enough to find people online without us splitting across servers and factions.

Esamir seemed pretty good for tanks Magriders, aside from the trenches.

Haven't seen Amerish; Apparently I can't log in anymore. The launcher is asking for a Vasco authenticator code now. (WTF?)

Edit: I restarted it and it loaded correctly. Weird.

Currently, yes. I'm open to playing a different faction come release day if people really want to.

I'm probably sticking with TR no matter what happens. I don't really mind not being part of the Bay 12 forces (in fact, at the moment we're antagonists being that I'm currently TR on Thebe) and hopefully you won't miss me.

I think we just pushed TR back to their warp gate on the other us server, some random continent. I dunno. Anyways, I'm NC on the right server now.
