@Lt. Col Labelle : intro is great, but it's all about the tone and what message you send … but it's good to have some sort of disclaimer lately it seems

B) Server CAP : atm the player cap is 150, for a long while we didn't have full servers but now it seems people are getting more active.
C) Technical issues : some people have trouble to join an already 'full' server or crash and can't rejoin.
D) Faction select : since there is no queue you have two options when there is an unbalance : wait or pick the other one.
E) CSA & USA companies who play the other faction : this could be for multiple reasons (usually balance related, learning tactics …)
F) …
There was a forum post by Capt. Bradley concerning the event (here) which clearly states NA1, but even myself got confused to see NA6 @ 100 + ,cause usually it's NA1 that is normally preferred.
My hopes : Would be great if we all timely and in a gentlemen way agreed on what to do (line battle, skirmish, certain rules …), which maps, getting the numbers (who can fit where) ...
II corps have been a beating heart* for events for a while, this partially cause there was a hiatus on organized events and we tried to keep momentum.Originally Posted by Lt.Col LaBelle
Our main goal was to spark the community and the most efficient way seemed 'dedicated' events for both EU & NA.
We've always been trying to contribute to the game and activity.
*Don't get me wrong : a lot of other companies pitch in a great deal to and it's greatly appreciated.

Splitting forces (current): this may not by clear but II corps is partially split between Saturday & Sunday/Monday events and between the EU & NA timezone.
Splitting forces (future) : if beta hits and there are a lot of players, it will be "impossible" and "unfair" to take up one side … unless it's organized (or private/moderated server).
Weekday events : there have been multiple initiatives by many involved, Capt.Winn (Shiloh) have been working on these events and it shifted from Saturday to Friday.

-> Yes there are many intiatives and channels and that also leaves the community a bit dispersed … but it also show that there is a will to communicate and organize.
-> Can you clarify the CFG a bit plz ?

A sidenote on "The toybox dilemma" : you indeed can never have enough Star Wars toys, I would ditch the 'autobots' and keep the 'decepticons' … for the 'not enough space dilemma' … waves hand 'there is enough space'.
