Add-on: Omni were specifically opening towers and underplanting sites to keep the pvp alive. Many clanners will argue with me that they don't believe this and they were getting sites because they are so uber ("TROLLOLOLOL"), but they don't need to believe it for it to be true.Originally Posted by Utopian

Sorry it was actually a misstype lol.
Players with jobs are not limited to omni, wtf kind of reasoning is that? Also, who cares how long omni have had TL7 towers if they have none before the merge and none after the merge?
You want the towers then take them, its not a one-time thing here where omni never have a chance.
I answered for me - and again, you are not addressing the question. But at this point, there is not point with you.
And if omni never have a chance, then really - what is the purpose of NW, kinda screws the whole game doesn't it? But you keep pounding your chest - puff it out loud and proud.

Multiple unrelated people have told me that a dev stated towers disabled for 1-2 weeks, enough that I didn't keep launcher open and check every 10 minutes to log in.
At this point I'm leaning towards an edited post rather than some amazing coincidence.
This was what I was wearing. Tell me I asked for it
There will always be people who are working, sleeping, eating, unable to log in, busy spending time with their families, watching porn, yelling at the neighbors, getting in fights with packs of dogs, or inventing time machines to warn everyone that the new engine is going to be at least a decade late. There will never be a time that is perfect for everyone and unfortunately for you this time, you or your president fell into the poor timing category.
As for having all the tower sites open a week into the new server, it would not have been fun nor changed anything. You would have had people from several dozens of orgs spread out across every tower site in AO spamming their "place tower" macros and buttons hoping to ninja a site, and when someone did take a site there would not have been anyone trying to kill them because they would have been too busy trying to rush and plant the one's they did place. Even worse, if the towersites acted as they apparently did this time, they would have been ninjad and immediately entered a 75% state. Either way, an entire server with freshly planted towers is not going to suddenly engage in anything resembling a fun PVP war. The PVP is supposed to happen after the towers have been placed and factions can organize with a clear understanding of what they would have to take.
Is there an alternative you would predict that is somehow more fun than a mass tower ninja race? Omni are not motivated to pvp at towers and I doubt they will be for a while until they can organize more effectively, something clan has already gotten a jump start on as well.

All you had to do was be on test when the entire test server knew at the same time when the sever was up. Although I would not expect everyone to just jump on test all of a sudden, test has always been the best way to know when a server is open again.
That said, I feel like there was a comment about the towers as well, but I doubt FC would bother editing it just before the server launch.
