Its intended that when your level 50 the same level 12 will still do 2k damage to you. The BG's are meant to level 'flat'. What will be interesting is if gear / extra abilities make such a difference that this changes and the lvl 12 IA cant to that when your 50. If so I expect some changes to happen to make that 'flat'

Nadd server was decided upon to be the pvp server for a large number of guilds and was well planned by Sacrx. Unfortunately the average player when looking for a server chooses one that has a high pop. Nadd with a high pop became a big attraction. The same thing for undecided pvp guilds. Then you have rumours of spanish / italian also going there. So yes its going to be a crazy high pop server with some of the best competitve pvp; but until January the queues will be insane. In January with a number of guilds / players having gotten sick of the queues and left things will calm down. As for Black Company we decided on going to The Ravager pvp server; and in the end not Nadd. Alot of reasons for this not just the queues; although I am sad that I wont be playing against certain guilds on Nadd Cant someone invent technology that allows huge numbers of players on same server? I think EVE already does this?

it was ... a little crazy. I can understand why pugs quit over it - must have been a nightmare playing against any half decent bw even when the bw wasnt in a premade.

Nah it was on KEP not the US servers. I remember when the US claimed the world first king kill; utterly unaware it had happened on KEP something like 3? months previously The resulting forum thread was very funny with the US claiming our servers king kill didnt count! The world first city siege was also amusing - although not at the time - as it was KEP that discovered as order ... you couldnt get in to defend your city due to a bugged door. Talk about lack of testing! We had to have Mythic devs trying to fix the code on the fly as it turned out destruction couldnt get past stage 1 due to bugs even without any order defenders being able to get in. This was around October or November 2008 if I recall correctly. Unfortunately that proved the last straw for many destruction players so our server lost alot of players. Tough server to be on was KEP as an order player; during september 2008 we had destruction players hitting rank 40 while order were mmm maybe not even 31 or in tier 4. How farmed did we get when we first got there! That magus Rift any number of players+dual marauder aoe demolition bug hurt! Fortunately the magus only got Rift around level 30 so it wasnt a huge issue in T3 - T4 was another matter! - but thats what caused me to start doing Rain of Fire in response in the scenarios. Before that of course you had a bugged dot line that you could use instead, till it got fixed (nerfed). The US didnt have bombing; after they finally let the EU onto the PTS so we could play against Mythic devs and US warbands they were amazed at how they got slaughtered by bombing. Mythic devs then stated on vent that they had never encountered that style of play before and that it wasnt on the US servers. By this point it had been going on EU servers for months. Poor Karak Norn when Karak Eight Peaks transferred there following the server closure hadnt seen bombing either and it did cause so much forum fun! Btw I was also order and found that I was about the only player during the daytime in early october 2008 defending keeps against Koluns 3 warband destruction zerg for a couple of weeks. It ended with him refusing to attack keeps where I was defending. Gotta love Rain of Fire ; it made you a 1 man army. One fortress attack I got 600 kills, solo. They were really determined to take that fort! Whats amazing is how long it took to nerf RoF and later on Scorched Earth. Hopefully SWTOR will have a quicker dev response!

Karak Eight Peaks achieved alot of world firsts. First guild to rank 40, first rank 40 player, first players on both sides to psycho title (10k pvp kills- myself and Rasta), first city siege, first king kill. it was also the server that pioneered RoF and bombing. you can say what you like but one thing it wasnt lacking was intense pvp
