“If you don't have a group of friends big enough to fill the majority of a lobby you will never get in a game match making. There are consistantly online 2 NA lobbys running at a time and the people in them gate-keep the lobby to people…”
“Playerbase was overrun by the perfidious Chinee. Matchmaking was a miserable experience, but the gameplay was fun. I hope they relaunch the game. I also hope that, if they do relaunch the game, they get a better model for the ship as it's…”
