Yeah, we kicked our very first guild recruit for this very reason. Impatient and rude. We don't roll like that.

It means crying. Long story of how it came about.

Then many more servers and free character transfers.

^^^^^ This

If BW has something planned or has a strategy to remedy this problem, would it really kill them to let us in on it? I mean, is it a matter of national security or something? If the told us the plan, and it really seemed like it would fix the issue, I think we'd all relax and be patient. I can be patient knowing that the issue will be fixed and that the queue times will go away. The problem is that with the lack of information most of is are assuming that this will be the norm for this game. I don't want to play a game that makes me wait to play it. It's a shame because the game really is fun to pay once you get in.

Some on this and other threads like it have said that they plan on opening new servers and raising the population caps on the existing servers. Where is the source of this? What are you basing this on? I have seen nothing official posted about this. In fact, there really hasn't been anything official posted other than the very unhelpful, cryptic statement in the OP. I really hope that they have something planned. This game is awesome. I hope that they sort this out because this could sap many people's enthusiasm to play. I know that mine has waned a bit in the past few days.

Yeah, but betcha won't be playing this game for long if you can't ever log on!

Yeah, it's called merging the servers then if necessary. Why do you think people will be quitting? Many because they don't want to wait hours just to play. Look at all the QQing the past couple of days! People want to play, and not hours or days from now... now!

Agreed! There is only ONE east coast RP-PvP server, and the queue time during peak is over an hour. I really hope that they are going to opening up some new servers tomorrow. This game needs them now, and they're not even done letting all the early access people in yet! For those of you who haven't gotten in yet, this thread is not intended to rub it in. Just think though, when you finally DO get in, you want to wait hours just to log in to play or do you want the servers populated correctly so there's little or no wait time DURING PEAK?

Ummm... 8/29. The "Subscribed" was originally just to get this thread subscribed to in my subscriptions list, but then I decided to add my... Oh never mind. I fixed the original post. Sorry for any confusion.

8/29 here. No email. Might get in later today, hoping anyways.

Serious question: Is the server population based on those currently online playing or is it based on how many people have rolled characters on the server? I'm guessing that it's the latter and that they keep raising the cap each day to allow more people in. This slowly raises the stress on each server right?

It isn't punishment to rollback the exp gained. People who gained it did not earn it properly, therefore should be ok with it. It's the only fair thing to do. If it were me, I would expect that "investigating" would mean that they would find out it is true, and rollback the exp. They can do that easily enough.

It is possible that some might not even know that they're using an exploit. Whether or not it's intentional, the very least that should be done is removal of all exp gained using the exploit, or if that can't be done, then reset character level to 1. It's the only fair thing to do. The devs have got to keep things fair or many lose faith in the fairness of the game.

The only fair thing to do is to take away any and all exp received during the exploit. I'm sure that they'll do that.

That's why I picked the name "K;sadhj;shfsa;dna;snv;jsan" Guarantees it'll be available when I get on.

Either way, they shouldn't be allowed to keep that exp if it was received using an exploit. If this is indeed happening, of course.

In EQ, if something like this happened you could bet there'd be a rollback, and all that exp would be taken away. Ban might be too harsh, but a server rollback to take that exp back would be fair.

Yeah, my concern is just to get my entire guild on a server where it's not so overpopulated we have to wait in a queue to play every time we log in. I don't mind the waiting, it's just that my guild has to coordinate like a mutha to get everyone rolled on a good RP-PvP server.

There's 10 seconds of my life I won't get back. lol

Well, ok. There is a way to have the hood up or down, you just have to go into your view settings. Cool. That works for me.

No hood toggle?! Well... that... sucks. lol I guess they want everyone to pretty much all look alike then.

Subscribed. Thanks for posting it!
