Is one mega server for the whole game possible? I would love that

esp when strongholds come. can you imagine that? being able to raid with anyone no matter what time of the day, cos it iwll always be evening time somewhere and the people in that country will be playing.

Finally also you'd get planets that always have low populations during the time youcan play have a lot more people. I don't know what hte tehcnical limitations are if there are any, but it would kinda be awesome don't you think?

When you log in, your character will be placed at teh server location nearest to you to ensure the fastest connection, however you will be able to link up with people from anywhere, or jump to htier version . I know ESO are using the one mega server approach, and i know that these current servers are a merger of the old ones, if they can consolidate all those old realms into our current serveres, is it not possible to consolidate all our current realms into one?

I can imagine my latency will drop significantly if i kept connected to realms on actual servers that were near me, I am slmost salivating low latency and the 200-300 dps gain that will give me. You may wonder why I don't transfer all my toons to a server that is near my physical location.. well, i have 10 toons to do so, iwhich i can't really afford to send over + got my guilds and all my riends on this one. Now with a mega server, that would be no worry, i doubt i would know exactly the location my toon was running from but i woldn't carel

Kiss no ranked arena/warzones or no group finder queue pops in the morning which happens to e the only time you can play because of work or life committments goodbye, you'd be be able to do your ranked arenas/warzones and any group activity and always have a group ready. Is it 4:00 a.m. in your country or timezone? now you want to start a DF HM - no longer is it a ghost town cos everyone is aselep or tired, you'd have some people its prime time or for some people just back from school Wouldn't it be awesome

One hugely populated server per server type might be interesting. Mixing PvP, PvE, and RP would have... unfortunate consequences.

I would hate every bit of that...and I would probably stop playing because of it.

I play on a low populated server for a reason...and I even try to log in when the population is lowest on that server.

I love having the option to team...but having hundreds of people running around doing the same missions you are in the storyline would drastically drop the entertainment value for me.

On a highly populated server, it would seem you would more often be able to find lower populated instances because there would be more instances of everything. Switch instances when you want to compete against fewer people for quest resources (or whatever reason).

Yeah, you are right...I did overlook that.

I hope so. The game could use one "mega" server since cross server is too difficult for them to do.

Can the server handle that much people though?

Heck, FPS (for alot of people) is crap now. If every server merged into 1 mega server, I would hate to see what the FPS will be like.

No different, because every area will still be instance-capped as they are now. There will be more instances, but none will have more people than they do now, so your over-burdened, low-end video card and processor won't have to draw any more people than they do now.

yep, that's the beauty of the technology, it spaces everyone out fora maximum effect area, furthermore, it woud likely be putting people together in similar timezones based on their physical location, so you can guarantee you would have instances that are very full andones that are a lot quieter and cna switch accordingly, aftera. if you're playing a 10:30 ppm. east coast time, it's very busy on those instances, but the Europe instances are actually at 4 a.m. quite quiet, the west coast ones at 5:30 pm


I don't know how theyy'd do it, liekly they'd connect all existing servers and simiulate a giant realm, where you are intelligently placed in the most optimal location. But can always move to the instance your group is it by choice, just like you can now. I think it would be awesome.
