Kodokai Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) A quick update on today's invites, and a little preview of tomorrow. Today, we invited people who had pre-ordered up to the very beginning of October (roughly). Tomorrow, we're going to be inviting the same number of people again; that will take us up to the last week or so of November. On Friday, we'll be inviting even more, and we'll give you an update on that tomorrow. You'll see more servers coming online tomorrow, and almost certainly there will be some queuing. That was always expected. As a reminder, our plan here is to maintain healthy server populations post launch, and during the excitement of launch that will mean queues. That said, we'll be working hard to keep those queues reasonable. We'll check back in tomorrow with another update. How about you fill up the current servers before opening more? Basilisk Droid EU is bare. Edited December 15, 2011 by Kodokai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMarez Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 How about you full up the current servers before opening more? Basilisk Droid EU is bare.

DarthStarrUK Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I bet you'll be posting something different later when you're stuck in a queue waiting to get onto a server. Can't please everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerda Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 How about you fill up the current servers before opening more? Basilisk Droid EU is bare. Not everyone wants to play on a server with lots of people already of a higher level etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodokai Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Not everyone wants to play on a server with lots of people already of a higher level etc. Then realms will die pretty much. Its impossible to get groups on Balmora. Edited December 15, 2011 by Kodokai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smellyfed Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Some of the current server space is already committed to future players - no? Meaning some portion were part of guild headstart - but preordered late or didn't preorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodokai Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yeah well, can't please everyone!! Theyre making the Warhammer mistake. Well i think it as Warhammer where they opened too many servers too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissana Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It's also the middle of a WORKDAY in Europe right now, so yes, it's not going to be full up for at least another couple of hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Early Access is designed in part to "seed" the game for the floodgates that open at release. You have higher-level players who have started the economy and can provide groups for the power-leveling players who want to run instances.

Effectively destroying that great new mmo communal feel of chaos and ensuing hilarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayTank Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 If servers are slow now then its better for you to get your questing, harvesting etc.. done before launch...there will be tons of people who get this game for christmas and join after launch and they will jump on the low population servers first so enjoy it while it lasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirjones Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 How about you fill up the current servers before opening more? Basilisk Droid EU is bare.

rkopczak Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm with OP on this one. I hope they will try to fill up existing servers as much as they can, before opening new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerda Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Yeah well, can't please everyone!! Well if all those new servers they created last night are open for use for the waves today then yes it will please everyone. Those that don't want to trail behind others can roll on new servers, those that want to play on ready populated servers can choose those. There are lots of factors as to why people choose servers, some for friends, guilds, unofficial language selections (like spanish, russian etc). I was merely stating why some would prefer new servers to existing ones. Edit to add this thread covers what EU servers are being claimed by various languages - http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=259255#post259255 in case anyone is interested.

KerinKor Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Theyre making the Warhammer mistake. Well i think it as Warhammer where they opened too many servers too soon. Same thing happened with Rift, soon after launch there were mergers and many new communities and guilds got destroyed.

Drivex Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 They will stop adding new servers soon. It makes sense to add them and have all of em even then stop and let them fill up the rest of the way after release. Otherwise if you fill them all now and release with a few new servers, then people who buy the game on the 20th and beyond might log in and see a "medium" load server, go there and at prime time its so packed noone can play.

bobuffet Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 there where alot of servers on high last night They could be artificially capping to try and get people who weren't part of guilds to migrate to other servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
