statefull Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The Harbinger – US West Coast - PvE The Swiftsure – US West Coast - PvP These are the unofficial Australian servers. We're trying to jam an entire countries-woth of players onto two servers; obviously they're going to be flooded. Unfortunately, in the absence of designated Oceanic servers the our desire to play with as many people in our timezone as possible means we're going to congregate together means we're going to congregate on those servers. While I understand that you have not launched here yet, and may see that as a reason not to work too hard to support us, I don't think most of us will see rolling on random low pop servers, and being dispersed among a much higher percentage of US-based players, as a viable or attractive alternative. Perhaps a few US servers could be flagged as "Oceanic" purely to help us gather? Otherwise I am sure the Australian / RedZone community will pick one as a tertiary (after Jek'something, which is already the secondary). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neimi Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yeaah an update!! Tho can i ask u Mr. Reid why aint there 2nd English RPPVP serverin Europe? (germany and french maybe as well but rest of europe is 4 times as big as those two countries.) There's a queue for it already since thursday on peak hours, and today since launch whole day! European time of course (wich somehow i get a feeling doesn't get monitored much untill u guys wake up no offense further tho). But i would gladly reroll to a 2nd English Rppvp server in Europe. Feeling a bit left out at the moment with the release of todays new servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swerls Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Prophecy of Five could be added to this list, always one of the top couple queue times (and I don't mean tied with all the other ones, longer) At 9:15 this morning EST it was one of the only ones with a queue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeDiem Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Thanks a lot for the update!For many people just knowing that the issues is worked on and acknowledged helps a lot. I see well the reason for why things are done as they are (re: not full cap at start to make people roll elsewhere)... and it would have probably been quite fine if it was not those two bugs that keep popping up when queing... making one spend (now in total) days not hours in que. All that leads to more people not loggin out ever, thus making the problem larger. You guys are looking at huge figures you take in from us in the years to come, so hire a few extra guys to take on the simple tasks, and put the brains in the outfit to fix those ASAP. Will save a lot of time and frustration in the long run =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiranKenja Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 So we get assigned to a server (The Red Eclipse in my case). Then suddenly it becomes a high load server and we are then told to re-roll somewhere else?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partizan_Cholek Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Would love to see the ability of char transfer for people on these servers.. Add The Crucible Pits onto that list as well if this option is available please. Hell, I'd take a paid character xfer at this point versus releveling.

RadjezZ Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Maybe an idea but disable the new char creation on those servers? U say not to roll those servers unless u are willing to have long que times. What about the people that are allready on it? When new people join that dont mind que times the que times get larger for EVERYONE? Also place all the servers on the list wich have que times of more then 15min, now you are directing people to servers that also have 1hour que times wich will increase then also.

spyroot Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 if i'll create a new character on a new server with a light population how you could secure that next day I will not experience the same issue. i.e 2-4-6 hour queue. I think this is a main question that you need to ask yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniperfish Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 y'know...I'm sure you could raise caps and not permit new accounts on that server so you reduce queue time but don't influx new players onto heavy load servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackweb Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 If I could play my republic char on another server while waiting to connect to my main, I wouldn't mind any queue times. So far max I've waited is 40 mins, I guess the wait would be easier if you could play the game on another server while being in connection queue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amandar Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 We strongly advise you to not create new characters on these servers, unless you are prepared to queue to play. Many of you who are already playing on these servers are asking for solutions, and we understand your frustration. At this time we can only ask for your patience. Population caps are being gradually raised on these servers, but raising them too fast will create an influx of new players and perpetuate the problem. OR EA/BW could simply prevent new character creation on these servers until populations stabilize - what an interesting concept .... We do not expect the queues to alleviate on these servers for the foreseeable future. If you do not want to queue, you should consider playing on another server, many of which have very low or no queues. So basically Early Game Access was a waste of time if EA/BW happened to place your guild on one of these high population servers and you aren't able wait 2+ hours. EA/BW are inherently encouraging players not to ever log off for the fear of having a long queue time when they want to play again thus making the problem even worse. The phrase "Piss Poor Planning" comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikagi Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I suppose it's nice to see an update. I'm not happy that those of us who were already on these servers are just being told to change servers if we aren't happy with the queues though. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthvidar Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Sweet! as i told you on Twitter, the Queue on Bloodworthy is going alot faster, but its still 1400+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noesitium Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The queue will only get bigger now that the game is released for all. And people are not joining a light population server. So telling them to do so is just a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokto Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I still see only good way to lock listed servers and raise there population cap for those who are already on these servers. 1500+ people in queques is enough... We do not need newcomers here. When will situation calm down you could unlock these servers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkwingDK Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 You can add the EU RP server The Progenitor to your watch list too. I keep getting kicked off and have to go in queue to get back on. Very annoying. Especially for my friends who are still in the game, waiting for me to return. I never had this issue until today. And no it is NOT my internet connection. I still chat with my friends on teamspeak when I get kicked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypemaster Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 They should give players a warning when joining on those server. "Expect long queu's at peak hours. Are you sure you want to queu for 4 hours long every day?" This will scare them off hopefully or even better. Give a boost on the low pop servers like they did on warhammer online. Exp boost or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
