I'm figuring a cool 14 usb ports.

How quickly they forget.
Servers get load locked during special events when there are a certain number on the server. This happens with Freedom and Virtue more than the others. And every time it happens, we get this. Understandable, but predictable.
So the people that had to move to a server with more people so they could find a team moved to the servers in the top 3-4 spots. And now they're locked....hmmm...
Maybe try one of the servers in the lower half of the load listing? I play on a number of servers, and can find a team forming for something or other on all of them. Seriously, there's no reason to not spread the love, then you have a fallback or 11 for when this happens. -
Noticed three servers were load locked and Freedom, in 4th, was in the yellow. Now come the cries...

This is my vote for the Pinnacle motto.

Congrats to you again, and again. So, how's it feel to hit the lottery? lol

Because they won't convert. Just like you won't convert to another server.
The OP has stated his opinion. Matter of fact, it has a little bit of truth to it. Now I'm not saying it's dying per say, but Pinnacle is a low population server. And it's been that way for awhile now. It will continue to be that way until people on the forums say otherwise or for some reason, people start migrating here. Fact of the matter is, PvE wise...you can do whatever TF/Mission/ETC on Pinnacle just like any other servers. Pinnacle just happens to be...again a low pop server.
Pinnacle is my home server, but face it...it's not the same as it was. At the peak.
Actually, I have characters on almost every server, if not all, and don't play exclusively on Pinnacle, although I'm there the majority of the time by far.
I did notice this evening that Pinnacle started out next to the lowest load, but later in the evening was solidly in the middle of the pack. Granted it's never been one of the top half consistently when I check those things, but neither is it consistently the lowest.
And, another friend transferred a character over to Pinn...that's a couple since yesterday. -
Yay, a Hemily!
These, as always, are very cool, and well done.
And now that I have a nearly full Virtue....beware!!

I'll let others answer... anyone else want to post what they are getting
for average frames per second? The in-game commands to check are in the post above.
At what resolution? Maxed settings? -

Looking forward to seeing this done!

I think of this as more of a way to try to get a few more people to Pinnacle, rather than an opportunity to go elsewhere. if you have friends on other servers, why not have them move here? Why move to a server that may well be closed due to load during some events? Why not move to a server you know you can get to, and can still find teams on if you try?
I've posted several places and talked to several people and think at least some will move a character or two over here. Even if they're not regulars, we may well convert them.

Grats to the winners, and everyone else!

BTW, we have that Paragon One channel someone started where several of us are members....holler there if you wanna get a team going or something.
-
Oh, my global's @darkether (no space). I'm on now!!
Edit: On and adding globals now....if you're on, and I'm not in a TF or something, I'm willing to swap, so just beep me. -
I have some characters on Vir-achoo already, with a solo SG. I only have one villain, but still in breakout, and several heroes I can't invite to my group, since I let my second account lapse. But I have slots available to make new ones.
Anyway, since I'm outnumbered (and I will gloat when load's too high and it's blocked), I'd like to consider a group to perhaps do missions together on a specific night of the week, if anyone else is game. I'm in an all-Kheld SG on Infinity (come there if you want some squiddy fun) and we try to do stuff on Monday nights, for example. So maybe we shoot for Thursday, or some other day, and try for an 8 pm ET start for several hours for some missioney goodness?

I can do skype too. Or TS, or Vent. Whatever. Also not required, but it's fun using it.
And no, I will not RP via voice chat (if that is the way things go). You don't want to hear me try to do a female voice.
I do. Heehee...

i understand the passionate responses, and i can appreciate the sentiment behind them.
what i dont understand, is the snarkiness behind DarkEther's response. i guess thats just who that person is, and if that's a testament to a percentage of people who are left on this server, than i feel i made the right decision to leave.
Snarky because I've heard all this over and over for the past several years. Snarky because Pinnacle is *not* "Extremely dead", as you say. Were that the case, there would not be around 100 people on a chat channel each of the last several times I looked this week. Were that the case, I could not have had 8 people to do a TF, let alone a different set of people to do a second one....and more to do the third one.
Granted, it's of lower population than several others, but it's been that way for quite a while, and some people prefer it to one where you may not be able to log in during special events.
I think that people who want to find a team on any server can do so, so I rejected your statement. Those who form their own teams make their own luck, thus the other part of my post. 'Nuf said. -
<pout> You Virtue-ites have taken my thread attempting to lure people to Pinnacle where there's room for more, and are trying to drag everyone to one of those heavy-laden ones!
For shame....

Cool looking piece - grats!

moved my main and 2 alts so far, to Freedom. Pinn, unfortunately, is extremely dead. I have not been able to find a task force for weeks, a respec trial for months, and frankly...it's about time they did this.
good luck to those who are staying.

As one who recently did three TFs in one day on this server (yes it's true), I thank you for your well wishes. But we make our own luck. -

Okay I guess that makes sense. I just haven't seen and external cooling systems.
Some times things are cramped enough you don't want to further restrict air slow, so you might want to move the cooling reservoir outside the case - those would allow for the plumbing. -

We have drunks and RPers who keep it pg-13!
Pinn for the win! Another is a sin!
I'm not sure about that, either.....even the chat/badge channel doesn't necessarily stay pg-13.

We have a radio station.
...And our Pocket D has PEOPLE IN IT.
I've stumbled in there....that's not a draw.
