Korrigan Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Something makes me worried WAY more than the staggered headstart... They only let in 3 waves so far, and only people who pre-ordered the first two days are in... yet the server my guild was assigned to is already displaying "FULL". Looks like the plan to try to control server load and balance it utterly failed. Would an official care to clear this up for us? Or maybe the website page is just bugged?

dogonpot Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 People tend to gravitate toward the servers with 'cool' names. Since 'everyone' is gravitating to the same server set, it's no surprise that there are full ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKasKahn Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Servers are not running at full capacity. SR said in a twitter post that they will be upping server capacity and opening more servers. Andreas Guaco@eltoroguaco· Details @Rockjaw Some servers are apparently already full. What will be done about that? Will the server capacity raise when you let in more people? Stephen Reid@Rockjaw@eltoroguaco That, and more servers. 10:17 AM, Dec 13th via TweetDeck · Details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the plan to try to control server load and balance it utterly failed. Would an official care to clear this up for us? Or maybe the website page is just bugged? So everyone from the first two days IS in the game? Is this confirmed? I ordered and entered code on the 3rd day, so this would HOPEFULLY mean I'd be in on the next wave... BTW, the server my guild is assigned to is listed as FULL as well. The Red Eclipse for me. Edited December 13, 2011 by Bulldogs_Rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrYger Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Judging by all the posts of eager people wanting to have earlier access than anticipated, this game is going to have a huge and loyal following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrigan Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 "More servers" won't solve the problems... many guilds have been assigned to servers which are already high or full. I for sure hope the capacity right now is set VERY low and they have a lot of margin left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaverian Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 What worries me is that were seeing servers being "Full" already and how many people got an email this morning and they haven't even had a chance to login and select a server since they are working. Tonight is going to be a mess. If I see Que's starting on early access day 1 I won't be too happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKasKahn Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) I understand that Im still waiting as well and my guild server is at medium so far. From what i have heard from some who are playing on full servers, they seem to be very low population. So im sure they just have the capacity set low to make sure they are holding up well.

I am one of an entire guild that has yet to set foot on the realm we have been setup for. Might need to shop for a new home if they are infact not keeping capacity low.

Felgor Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Not going to name the server, but its listed as full... However, the starter planet has only 1 phase/instance and only has 38 people on the planet... So lets just say, the 3 other starter planets have a higher player base... And each have 100 players... Thats still less then 400 people on the server, and only 1 instance/phase per planet... Edited December 13, 2011 by Felgor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atree Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 my server has currently 377 guilds and 5 of those guilds have over 500 people in them. this server will fill up quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahandii Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I think this is part of their idea of how to try to balance the servers, by not having the servers running on full capacity, people see the queue time and then selects another server with lesser queue time.

DevinRidenour Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 its because Bioware thought it would be a GREAT IDEA to have all the people from beta the people who work for the online companies get into first so it really went... ALL the full time beta people and then all the preorders its a dumb and unfair idea im my eyes but cant change stupid ideas other people have...

Hironobu Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have a very specific server that I played on during the beta that myself and people who also played on it, made a pact to play on it live. It is not yet on this list: http://www.swtor.com/server-status So they most likely have plenty more servers to bring online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the next few weeks to a month i think the queues are going to be a common state of affairs. There are just too many people interested in playing this game to expect anything else.

Korrigan Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Thing is, this got posted by a developer on Twitter: ""Four waves planned so far - day isn't over yet. We're already seeing fairly full servers, so it's going great so far."" So the "full servers" aren't just legends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
