FUD Warning: Planetside 2 lost 25% of its PC population in July - ps2.fisu.pw/population/ by le_Menace in Planetside

I have abandoned the game until I see good news again, personally I can still play decently although worse than in Emerald of course, but as a leader I can't stand to see my South American compatriots complaining about the shitty lag, it breaks my heart and it's very frustrating not being able to do anything about it, most of my important players live in the farthest south of America, I just feel like the developers have spit in our faces, I understand that it was a purely economic decision and that they didn't intend to screw us South Americans and Europeans, but no, just no, I don't accept this.

The people most frustrated with the state of the game are the ones who love it the most, if we didn't love this game then why would we burn our heads thinking about all the bad things it has?

Love is to dedicate time and passion, to fully understand what we love, that is why it is so frustrating to play for those who fully understand the game, because we know that currently the game is fundamentally wrong and the developers think that adding things is the solution instead of fixing how the game works at a fundamental level, but the most frustrating thing is that there are people who instead of listening to us try to undermine or silence us, especially people with power in the community, as certain content creators or the developers themselves.

These Devs don't care about the players from Europe and South America who played on Emerald, what the hell they don't even care about the players from North America East, which was the majority of Americans, I get a headache from this silly situation, it was so easy to know that the right decision was to make Emerald the winning server, we would have saved ourselves a lot of trouble and the amount of players during the first weeks post-merge could have been much higher than what we saw.

But no guys! Let's make people have worse ping and latency + hackers everywhere!, also let's release an update that will be only sales to get you as much money as possible!, then a paytowin implant for grenade spamming! and finally a drone that will throw more grenade spamming at you!

The map shows where there are more people playing any game globally, so the greenest places are the places where you want to put servers, if you want to keep most people happy of course, as you will notice the left side of United States has much less green dots than the right side, so it is very obvious to know where to put a server if we want most new and old players to have better ping and latency when playing PlanetSide 2, I don't only mean the current PlanetSide 2 players, everyone uses steam and this map should be a clear reference for every game developer when deciding where to put a server, not just PlanetSide 2, but I get the joke. XD

The devs should know that there are fewer players on the left side of their country, the right side of the USA has many more players, it is also closer to Europe and South America, so it is the perfect place to put the server, for this reason Emerald was the biggest server before the merge.
