Jackuss Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yea that would be useful, if not already they should soon. q times are horrible right now. 25 min for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraylessa Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I imagine they will have some way to transfer characters to other servers for a fee sometime in the future. But no such feature currently exists and it will likely be a long time. You can still roll a new character on your friend's server, even if it's "full". That just means there may currently be a queue time, not they are blocking new character creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuddingHead Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 No server transfer tools at present. Wouldn't be surprised if they were added sometime after launch as a paid service along with rename tokens. But I don't believe they've said anything about it so don't hold your breath. Better just to remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menelic Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Honesty, the servers ques are horrible. If dev.staff reads this, they should think about this really fast. The problem is not in players being "stupid" by going on one server in purpouse to fill them into unbearable que time. This is a MMO, and in my case, I just follow my community ... that is all. Its useless to play any MMO without old friendz. Many of mine droped WoW and moved here ... but on Drak Thul, I have never encountered any waiting que .. since the game started years ago. This is crucial for any succes since this is a subscription service. Now, its pre-launch, so many of us can understand this ... but in the mean time, this may result in return to WoW. I dont want to blame the dev.team, this is the start and any start is not without problems. I just want to encourage them to solve this issue asap. This is the question of succes ... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klamidia Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 These Queue times are ridiculous .. 45 minutes and counting .. and its not like it is a single server .. there are at least 5 that show queue times and another few that are very heavy, heavy etc .. And this is just creeping up to prime time. This is teh suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrlen Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) You guys who are comparing to wow are pretty deluded if you think WoW wasn't exactly the same back in November/December '04 Edited December 16, 2011 by Korrlen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjchase Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 So on day 1 all PvE servers are heavy or full? This is not a good sign of things to come. My fear is being realized....pick a server that looks good, than suddenly I go to play the next day and there is a big queue. Disappointed before even picking a server....not a good sign.

LagunaDSith Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yeah, the queue times are annoying. But they have to be careful not to create too many servers, so that when the initial rush of people playing at release fades they end up with servers which are seriously underpopulated. I do wonder whether they could add more capacity (temporarily) to existing servers when they get full, however (given that high population zones are instanced anyway).

This is the question of succes ... ;-) Eh for the first year of WoW being out there were ridiculous queues especially during vacation breaks like now. I remember how bad it was in the first month of WoW..... You might wait 45 minutes plus at peak hours. Biowares early launch has been very good imo. They started two days early in order to try to give all the pre order sign ups as many days as possible. They are putting up new servers every couple hours it looks like. No way is this comparable to the cluster **** that WoW originally was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeshadowball Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I remember the que times for Rift and Aion when they first came out, they were horrible, but after about a full week, suddenly there were 0 que's. So we might just need to bear thru it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should expect this from MMOs by now, this isn't the only one to have queues. Servers cannot hold an unlimited number of players while maintaining performance.

Focuss Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) A server showing full is a server that receives and sends a lot of data, so bioware SETS a limit and it shows full until some people disconnects... My guess now: Since this is an early access, Bioware is probably showing servers full at a number of players that is lowest than the number of players required for server "lock, or full" under normal circumstances. That way, people who just wants to make a char, won't make it on the full servers, and when other servers becomes full, new players will create on other low servers etc... That way the server populations are more equals. And people who have friends and such can still log in, they just have to wait, think of it as a demotivator. I'm only guessing, but that way at launch the: Full servers and Empty servers problem won't appear. If I'm right, well if I am this situation is temporary and we just have to wait a bit Edited December 16, 2011 by Focuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kourage Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 No, they will not transfer your characters. Dont even know if they can and if they could they'd charge you a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megyskermike Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I swear I posted ITT, did they just go on a post deleting spree? Ah well, I hope the have server xfers in the near future... the queues are over 30 minutes and we're not even at launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasoc Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 A server transfer tool would be far too difficult with all the people playing. If he doesn't want to re-roll, then he's not much of a friend since you guys could just do it all over again together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makau Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 OP, just play on your friend's server. Ya the que sucks, but a full server is better than a light one. When you finally get logged in, just never log out lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
