 Posted: Thu Aug 15, 2013 11:13 am Post subject: Possible Cause of Population Issues on Waterson... |
|
I'm still trying to find specifics on this but it appears that TotalBiscuit, a prominent YouTuber with over 1 million subscribers, invited a metric shit ton of people to start playing PS2 as TR on Waterson using the new SOE Recruit system. This may explain the excess of TR in the past week or so.
The TR pop. on Waterson is almost always higher during prime time, if not the majority of the time: http://sirisian.com/planetside2/population.php?world=18&timezone=-4&allfactions=false

There seem to be several, decently worded, threads that point to TB being the underlying cause of the pop. imbalance. Someone mentioned that he is basically a TR spokesman now. NC and VS have no celebrity personality that can counter that at this time.

I've noticed that the other "big" PS2 YouTubers, (Wrel, STLYoungblood, belthazor3457) do not say which server they play on most frequently. I wonder if this is a conscience effort on their part, not only to keep trolls at bay, but to keep a bias out of their reviews. Also, if you add up all the subscriptions of these guys, they still don't come close to a quarter of what TB has. |
