Speculation

 

Speculation? my server have 5minutes to 1 hour queue most of the days(legion of lettow). it have, as far as i checked, only 1 shard (on coruscant), and this are the number since i cared enough to check

 

Tython: 60 players

Ord Mantell: 22 players

Republic feet: 116 players

Coruscant: 120 players

Taris: 160 players

Tatooine: 22 players

Alderaan: 15 players

Hoth: 4 players

Balmorra: 12 players

Nar Shadda: 24 players

Belsavis: 8 players

Ilum: 0 players

 

Last check done this morning at abou 1pm CET, when the server had 35 min queue.

 

563 players, and the server is full.

Now, unless there are 4500 imperial players (and i doubt it, since i rerolled an imperial and i saw only 60 players on korriban) each server have less then 5k player cap.

It's still the cause of sharding, believe me.

 

It gets so bad on my server that even though my girlfriend and I are on at the same time, she doesn't show up.

 

I think it's a serious problem.

Man you couldn't pay me to be an MMO dev. I would so get on the forums and tell all the whiney wow-heads to suck it and wait till improvements come out and if you don't like it - sub somewhere else.

 

Honestly, you can't seem to ever please people.

 

1. Im not getting in to early access! Let me in!

A. Ok, let more people in.

 

2. Server queues are terrible!

 

Now sharding is the problem.

 

Remove sharding, and supposedly the servers are the problem.

 

Remember when in the beta you could see hundreds od people per planet?

 

they're still using the same servers. They can hold quite a few people.

Hello everyone,

 

We know that a number of people want to discuss the manner in which server areas are divided into phases at the moment and to keep the discussion together we ask that everyone use this thread. This will also help to ensure our forums are tidy and everyone can participate in this ongoing conversation.

 

You may also want to take a look at this thread that includes a link to an interview mentioning the technique and our approach.

 

We will be closing this thread, we encourage you to continue your discussion in the threads we have linked. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
