I've been on Pinn all night, off and on getting joined by others.
I will go down with this ship.  I won't put my hands up in surrender.  There will be no white flag above my door.  I'm in love, and always will be.  Dido

I kinda fell down on this one, today.  Heading in, now.
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

I've been trying to log in when I can to stand vigil on Pinnacle, but the system keeps crashing.

Keep up the great work!

In case anyone has been wondering, aside from sending a message to anyone in the companies who can see the server stats or load in and poke around, the continued Vigil IS also creating awareness among the players, especially some who have probably just come back to the game due to news of the shutdown.

Yeah, I've been seeing both messages like that, tells letting me know they support us, and of course the occasional snarky message. Winchester of course nobly carries on with his mission no matter what...

I've gotten nothing but positives, AND a lot of people stopping long enough to read the AFK message and maybe copy it.

Eh, I'm an irascible old curmudgeon who attracts jerks. (You kids get off my lawn!!!) I'll admit I was rather surprised to attract them on my alt account nobody knows about when I wasn't even at the keyboard, but that's life. Rather they bother me than anyone else, I'm used to it. Ignore is my favorite feature of the game sometimes. (lol)

But it's only been 1 or 2 of them in many, many hours standing vigil since Saturday morning. One of them got more than he bargained for. There was this truly lovely chewing out on the screen when I came back from other players who'd been in the area, and 3 of them had joined my vigil as a result. He got kicked from his team, too. That was loads of fun to read when I checked up on our loyal butler.

Just doing a pass through the servers to see how the vigil is going. Taking screenshots whenever I see anyone. Also setting up one of my characters on each server to stand vigil.

Liberty - 0
Defiant - 0
Pinnacle - VV and 3 others (I waved and said hi)
Vigilance - 0
Champion - Madame Fantastic, no torch, afk, or sign, but pretty sure that is why she was there
Union - 0
Infinity - 0
Victory - Et Tu Brute? - looking fine with a torch and fire aura
Zukunft - 0
Triumph - 0
Guardian - Firey Spirt, Patri-bot, and Rularuu's Bane
Justice - 1 Ton Hammer

Freedom - 5 heroes - Madam Dark, Powder House, Creetsh, Mr Big Guy, Blue Yankee - more arrived as I was typing

Protector - 1 - Winchester Webley

Virtue - at least 9

Yes, when I am standing vigil, I'm usually the only one there (except once, yay!), but I only do it when I'm not playing the game and can leave the game running (not as much as I'd like at the moment because I've only got the laptop for the foreseeable future).  But I have had people broadcast or pm a response (they'll join me, they hadn't heard, etc.), so it's definitely worth doing.  To me, if only one player who didn't know about the shut down learns of it and signs the petition that's a win.

I am going to do another population check pass, just cuz I can. Figure it might get some healthy competition going between servers and encourage more to stand vigil. Tonight's census

Virtue AP33 - more than I can count
Triumph - 4
Vigilance - 0
Liberty -  0
Defiant - 0
Pinnacle - 4 - good solid crew there
Champion - 0
Union - 0
Infinity - 0
Victory - 0
Zukunft - 0
Guardian - 1
Justice - 1  (1 ton hammer, you're a great hero)
Freedom -  3
Protector - 1 - Winchester Webley

Union, Zukunft and the server formerly known as France were kinda dead already.  I'm not surprised you got nothing.  I've been on them (OK OK I am obsessive, i MUST reserve Vickie's name on EVERY server) when there were 10 people on the entire server.
I will go down with this ship.  I won't put my hands up in surrender.  There will be no white flag above my door.  I'm in love, and always will be.  Dido

AP33 on Virtue tonight was as insane as the actual day of the rally, if not moreso.

Black Pebble was spawning monsters in AP33. Saw Hami, Lusca, and Tyrant. We all got turned into Nemesis Horses briefly.

He gave himself away when he posted a message as "Rex Woofers" on the admin channel, /getglobalname revealed who it was. :D

Something that was made way back when but never really made it in-game.

Keep fighting the good fight!
