New server for when EU goes live

[darthuvius]

Hey all, I think you could really benefit from starting a new server/realm for all the noobs coming in. When I was a noob in another game that will not be mentioned I chose a new server and had a really good experience on it. I think if you recommend to all the noobs that they should choose the new server 90% of them will choose it. I will also make a character on that server I think.

I think this would make a lot of the dungeons more challenging since no one would have any hand me downs and most of the people in the group wouldn't know the quests.

[Big-Dex]

I am pretty sure they will have to add some servers when they go live, but I wonder how they will do that and if they will resurrect some of the old names.

I can hear it now if they revive the XORIAT server! :eek: It would be pure chaos on Thelanis! The demands for immediate character transfer would begin instantaneously. :D

I am fine on ARGO, but I am sure some would love to see MABAR back. I mean, our guild is called the Legendary Knights of Mabar. :D

Seriously though ... I wonder how they will implement and handle that.

Dex was here. :cool:

[Lorichie]

I have a hunch that when this thing launches, the number of new folks coming in will vastly outnumber those of us here, on every server. Fear not, every server is going to feel like its full of new folks.

My biggest concern if they were to bring back the old servers, would be if they moved people back. It would tear guilds apart.

I doubt they would do that. Far too much work on their part.

I think their best implementation would be to have altogether brand new names for any new servers and avoid resurrecting some of the old names. Let the old names R.I.P.

Agree, it takes right now two weeks plus as a premium service. They're not going to do it on a mass scale; against someone's will or not.

[Spisey]

heh they should allow a one time transfer. We would never have another zerg thread again as all the powerlevelers and zergers could all merge! Now granted that server better have some kick a$$ hardware.... :D


Ohh the raids that could be raided! :D;)

[Pyromaniac]

I agree with the idea that we need a new server. A powergamer server with a free one-time account transfer would be great. And you can turn off Dungeon Alerts on that server too.

New Server Name:
ZergerHaven

[Uska]

A new server with no transfers allowed for the 1st year at least would be sweet .

Ummmm. Whhhhhhhy?

1 guild would talk everyone into putting a toon over there and making the "elite guild" over there. By the end of the opening weekend they would all have a capped toon that has done every raid 1 time and within about 6 weeks they would have 95% of the best gear possible for them. All it would do is make an even bigger imbalance. Many MMOs have tried this, it just doesn't work as some guilds sole desire is to be king of a server and this screams out to all that feel that way.

[greystone306]

I remember when I joined they were suggesting servers to start out on on the login screen I beleive..

That would be the 2 with the lowest current active population

If you dont know why then I cant tell you, so sad really:rolleyes:

Me thinks you exagerate somewhat I dont think there would be anyone capped by the end of a weekend and an imbalance between the majority and the so called elite doesnt really matter that much as there is no real pvp and noone serious really cares if few people with no life think their more uber then anyone else.

Me thinks the world you live in is even more imaginary than the one we play in. :p

I can get a toon from 1 to 16 in under 2 days. Do you really think I can't get the last 4 in the remaining 3 days?
PS> There are some that level far faster than me

Really I would like to see that 16 in under 2 days, if so impressive and how many playing hours is it? and do you get raid flagged while at it.

I would like to see this. With out an exp weekend i think your lying through your teeth ;)

1-cap in a day huh.. or at most a day and 23 hours, so 47 hours and you can cap a toon, prove it please or shut up :D

More forceful then I would have said but near my thoughts.


come on fluffy show us noobs how to do it.

[FluffyCalico]

My fastest is actually 1.5 days on a cleric during +25% weekend. And yes at the end I was flagged for VON, Reaver, Shroud and SoS. I said 2 days because +25% weekend isn't a fair comparision

[kaelis]

Considering most times we dont have an exp weekend your point is still null, as not everyone can and has gone from 1-cap in under 2 days. Also how would you get enough exp to go from one to cap in 32 hours of play. Thats 42k xp an hour Good ****ing luck ;) even speed cruicble/madstone elite wont net you that, let alone the lowbie quests you would need.

[FluffyCalico]

Considering most times we dont have an exp weekend your point is still null, as not everyone can and has gone from 1-cap in under 2 days. Also how would oyu get enough exp to go from one to cap in 18 hours of play. Thats 75k xp an hour(75,555.5 exact...) Good ****ing luck ;) even speed cruicble/madstone elite wont net you that, let alone the lowbie quests you would need.

1) If you are in a hurry you can play alot more than 12 hrs in a day. more like 18 so take your 18 and make it 27hrs.
2) Then increase from 1.5 to 2 days like I said and you have 36hrs.
3) That means 37K per hr needed.
4) Noob quests and low level ones take about 5 min in a good party. Doing 9-10 per hr is not an issue when you have 5 just like you staying group for 18 hrs straight.
5) Madstone and cruicible don't take long at all to do N/N/N/H/E and yes they will give so much more than 37K per hr its not even funny.


37K per hr average is not that bad when 6 of you are doing it together. 0 party building time. 0 time what do we do next. 0 waiting for the person to get there. 0 newbs. just straight up questing all day will level you so fast its not even funny

[kaelis]

I edited to 36 hours.. comes to 42k. Still not enough dude sorry I don't see it. Even static group of well coordinated fully twinked toons are not pulling this off. Not without xp weekend, and not withour serious help. The amount of resources you would pump into the toons alone would eat an hour(s) of transferring items, etc. and 9-10 low level quests 5 minutes each isnt factoring in tavern rests, getting quests repairing leveling and the myraid of other chores necessary. If you could get the right people focused to it i can see 3 days, tops.


Despite all this very few people in the game have the will to do this especially because the game can get boring enough with such limited content. So i still don't see how you can claim going to cap in udner 2 days to be realistic let alone common.

[darthuvius]

I don't think it would matter if 100 people decided to speedrun the new server. because hopefully there will be 10k plus noobs filling the steam tunnels.

exactly most wont power lvl the hell out of things and will most likely be f2p people and I wouldnt mind buying some them guest passes so they would see what they could buy.

[Zippo]

If you dont know why then I cant tell you, so sad really:rolleyes:

Well yeah I am a little lost on why you wouldn't allow server transfers for a year. :confused: If you are implying that everyone is going to start toons power level the bejesus out of them and transfer them too another server, so what. They did the time leveling the toon one way or another and turbine got the money for the transfer. Really who cares.

[Zippo]

If you dont know why then I cant tell you, so sad really:rolleyes:

Whats sad is your making assumptions but not backing them up and I don't mean with some anecdotal evidence either

[FluffyCalico]

so 47 hours and you can cap a toon, prove it please or shut up :D

Already did prove it a couple months ago :eek: and about 6 months before that
Once I have all my 16s at 20 I will take a FVS to 20 that is my next level project. And yes it will go from 1-20 in less than 3 days and will hit the current cap is less than 2.

What's sad is you think it's impossible when its not even special let alone impossible.

Don't bother hes in hopeless denial land. But congrats on the first monk. Wonder who will have the first FVS at 20. LOL and yes it will be opening weekend I am sure. Unless of course its before opening weekend gets here.

[Aaxeyu]

I think they should add a new server, and transfer all the EU guys to it :)
