He's right you know.
I'm an S1 resident and have been for years. All my main shit is on there, including 300 grenades at coke field.
However, I currenly play S3 most of the time due to the people that "live" there.
I don't even care I have to go to rebel to gear up.
The culture on S3 is what keeps me logging on to Asylum, not the number of players.
