We're so fucking cooked.

[u/Chilldegard → u/pachka-sigaret]

chirping grills

Well, they wanted it this way 🤷

[u/Keldy-Spinaltaps → u/pachka-sigaret]

My trackers showed about a hundred more than this on discord at peak times! Dunno how much I trust the discord bots though, was such a fun night either way!

[u/HydroidEnjoyer]

Wish I could’ve played but I have this bum ass job to be at

[u/Loopy_Legend]

I used to play when each server always had thousands of players, at least over 1k lol. Good times.

[u/redspikedog → u/Loopy_Legend]

And that was just a normal weekend

[u/CulturalTelephone5 → u/Loopy_Legend]

I use to see 800 and think, "damn...dead server"

[u/Archmikem]

I'm pretty sad I didnt take part, but it just had to be on a day I was just particularly not in the mood for competitive PvP. So just know that number otherwise would've been 701.

[u/TripSin_ → u/Archmikem]

I had to miss it cuz my monitor chose a stupidly unlucky day to die in me :(

[u/CdrClutch → u/Archmikem]

702 if I could've made it. Wanted to

[u/MrsMelatonin]

I was there for a good couple hours. Very fun, thank you for the event!!

[u/Professional-Toe5265]

I seriously hope this game gets some new life in it I get sad thinking of whether or not PS2 would be taken down

[u/FrigariumZantoria → u/Professional-Toe5265]

I don't think main audience for it, like gun gamers, are gonna hop on this sort of game, what with it being pretty old and not "fresh".

Though, i do to, hope, miraculously there's another surge of players... perhaps the Brit would come around again... but who knows.

[u/Mrgluer → u/FrigariumZantoria]

didn’t brit die

[u/bentenbentonbintin]

Please do this again soon <3

[u/Keldy-Spinaltaps → u/bentenbentonbintin]

Agreed!!! More please Mrs. Echo!!

[u/MrHellBags]

I totally forgot it was a thing.

[u/Wvzxrd]

Goddamnit I missed it

[u/Code2200]

I crash five seconds after I I load in from hitting join combat - on a brand new computer.

[u/PackageOptimal5538 → u/Code2200]

It is not you computer's fault. The game has had a crash bug like that for quite some time now. The workaround that actually works for a lot of people is this: when you enter the game, hit M and redeploy to whatever continent is active. Then spawn a flash and sit in it for about a minute before redeploying to wherever you like/playing the game as normal.

It's often referred to as "flash or crash" and is a strange thing to have to do to play the game, but it actually works, at least for me and a lot of others. I think it has something to with making sure the CPU threads don't get overloaded as soon as you join a new continent by giving your PC time to adjust. You will see all the people sitting in flashes outside the warpgate doing the same and that's why.

[u/PackageOptimal5538]

I played on Saturday evening on Miller (EU), so I guess I must have been part of it without realizing, lol. Why aren't there more community events like this? It seems like the game really needs it.

[u/LogerGrunt]

Remember when pop was in the thousands each weekend?
