It's simply TeamNF. Not the fleet itself, but the actual employees.

If you simply back-up x3 all the information on harddrives and get BETTER HARDWARE, your problems will be fixed.

If the servers are too full, new computers/hardware will fix that because the cap can be increased BECAUSE the hardware can handle it.

The lag is easily solved if you get better hardware and computers. Proper server management will NOT lag!

Merging the servers will not fix the lag and the lack of players on Kaiser...
Proper server management, once again, will not have this issue. If you wish to fix the player problem you need to simply do the following:
- Make Kaiser the current default server until it has become the equal or as populated as Nebraska.
- Added events to increase getting back some players. [Monthly events]
- Teach, guide, and judge how players play and give them feedback! The less noobs that DON'T KNOW what they are doing, the more people will play.
- Have an NF GUIDED fleet that focuses the assistance upon new players. This will help players move on to better fleets to further better their skills they
attained and learned from the NF Guided fleet.
- Improve the enjoyability of the game itself. It's very repetitive and can easily be discarded.

---- If you want to make more money, you want more population, you want your game to be a game that I CAN recommend to my friends without hearing them complain
how crappy it makes them feel while playing in the new levels. If you want this, then YOU. SDEnterNET and TEAMNF NEED to host MORE events constantly, MORE assistance to noob players
and BETTER server computers + management + marketing. You need to step it up instead of ripping the wound to restitch it. Patching and Patching is unhealthy, you need a true update!
