| OFFICIAL | No world PVP..

hey OP....look, world pvp

maybe but ... can the servers handle it when they cant handle 200? how will they handle 300 or 500 ?

I think that was it, I'll start looking for any articles stating this as well.

Lol...nice idea

Erm, they'll handle them well?

Their main concern is congested questing areas making it difficult for people to level, and constant PvP ganking.

I'm certain that they'll unify servers when either they're comfortable, or the community demands it hard enough.

Either way, we'll eventually get what we want, man.

If you think 2.5k is the max to a server (and you are not a troll...), I challenge you to actually take a closer look when the server says full. If you do /who for each level from 1 to 50 on your faction and add those numbers, you will see that your faction alone will have more than 2.5k players. Don't take my word for it, do it yourself.

If /who caps on certain levels and skews the results (which it probably will), try this method instead. Travel to the planets and see how many instances are up on each planet (on your map screen) and how many people are in the instances. I've noticed a new instance seems to be formed somewhere between 175 to 200 people. There are exceptions to this, so just be aware that you need to look pretty close. You can then get the approx. numbers from the planets from there.

I did some checking on the first 2 planets on republic side on my server, and the first 3 planets on empire side on my server, and there was ~3450 people across those 5 planets that cover roughly levels 1 to 20ish at the time I was checking each instance. That doesn't count the players on the fleet or past level 20.

Don't take my word for any of this, check yourself. Speaking to anyone that doubts me... why trust me, some random internet guy, when you have all the information you need available in game via several means. If you actually care about this particular topic, just do the work yourself.

I know this post was totally off topic for this thread... but this thread got derailed big time.

Oh, right, PvP.

Yeah, I'm having fun with it. I think it's pretty great.

I think you are misinformed, badly.

BioWare never took over War from Mythic/EA. it was always Mythic/EA that had Warhammer and even now it still is.

They took people off of Warhammer from Mythic to work on SW. in fact Warhammer has maybe.. 2-3 people total working on it any more. So yeah... Bioware has nothing to do with Warhammer.

I personally hate pvp and rolled on a pve server, but i can understand why the sharding and whatnot as long as it is temporary.

I have a hard enough time grabbing certain objectives as it is with sharding, I'd hate to see it with everyone at once.

You sir are misinformed.
