Also, about 20 minutes ago: Broadcast from SYSTEM: All servers are coming down until further notice due to population imbalance.
They're down now.
Yep. Also, if they just reset territories, it'll likely just happen again. They'll have to change some things to prevent it (one thing that would help would be server-wide resources rather than continent-wide).
Server-wide resources wouldn't help at the end condition where one faction is warpgated on both continents, but would help in when one faction has been warpgated on each continent and a third faction is fighting on both continents (in which situation the third faction loses due to having both its players and resource income split in half fighting two factions).
The real problem is that without resources you're largely ineffective against someone who has them and can afford to waste them willy-nilly (and only the individual vehicle spawn timers slow them down), and that people log off or switch servers* when losing badly because there is no real reason to keep playing if you are getting nothing and can't break out.
* Of course it was apparently impossible to switch servers; I tried, as I wanted to see how it was on the euro server, but I couldn't make a character on it, yet could log onto any of my other three just fine despite both saying Full.
If moving is all it takes, I can just see people creating macros to make their characters run in a circle. IMO it should be based on kills, capping points, repairing things, healing people, etc. Actually playing the objective.
Of course, I got no certs while I was on, because I could find nobody to kill, nothing to cap, and nothing to repair or heal which gave xp (just people harmed by friendly fire).
Unless, of course, I camped an enemy warpgate, or switched to Esamir, where everything looked like it was under some sort of overbrightness or oversaturation effect, or was faded white, and it was hard to see anywhere distant because LOL WHITE FOG... Unless I turned graphics and lighting from high to low, in which case I could suddenly see things clearly, but then Indar looked like crap (and I couldn't see inside the Indar WG after warping back).
