Happy New Servers Eve!

Hey, just want to wish you guys/gals all good luck on the new servers, no matter what realm or server your playing on. Soon to be friends and foes alike, I wish you the best on the new roads we all have ahead.

And remember this quote, when your out defending your realm "There is no shame in defeat...as long as the spirit remains unconquered..."

See ya in the Dark Age!image

 

P.S. -A New Servers Eve cookie for who ever can tell where I got that quote!

    Man, the new servers are insane, I've NEVER seen so many newb toons running around. It's getting difficult to find something outside of the instanced dungeons to kill.

    ...

    BUT IT'S SO MUCH FREAKIN' FUN O MY COW!

    Sweet, I'm gonna renew my subscription to check it out.  It's been a while since anything has been crowded.

    I predict that they will need at least 3 at most 5 of the new type servers once it all settles down, and that they will always be at over 1k+ playing at peak times, at least for the first couple of months.

    I may be totally wrong, but it's my guess.

    I honestly think 1 more server will do the trick. perhaps they underestimated how much ppl disliked TOA.

    I just can't get into it. Too much water. I prefer the mainland. That's just me though.

    2 servers will ne enough.  Even though they increased the server cap to 3500 today, chances are there won't be that many people on it.  As of now they are the two most populated servers with 1800 and 2300 on them.  Tonight after work when people get home both will most likely get around 3000 again.  However the dramatic drop off shows that either a lot of people skipped work yesturday or came from the other servers.  Outside of Merlin/Lancelot the other server populations are back to normal. 

    In a week i see the population during the day being 800 and 1200 once the people go back to their servers.  During night time hours most likely 1500 and 2000.  Still decent size servers, but now that the name rush is over people will start to miss their money, house, servers, guilds, etc. 

    I do not want to have to start over on a new server.  However, given the lack of crafting, money, and ToA on these new servers it makes it easier to play for a little while when no one is on my home server.  So a nice 2nd server, but not a new home.  That is how it will be for most people.

    Today at about 4:45pm PST they were both at 3500, and they continue to be at 7pm PST. Tomorrow more people will be able to play, the people who created new accoutns in the last 13 days for the new servers. Add to that the buzz that is being created by these servers.. and, I don't see how they could need less than 3.

    But speculation can only get us so far, we'll see in about a month.

    Just to make sure: you know that they the new servers are without ToA, Artifacts and MLs right? They are named Classic ruleset btw.
