I won’t transfer, cause I would miss my company and friends. And if I did transfer that server will have mostly people who logged in to play for a week and transfer off, and then That server will be dead in a month.
Shame on AGS for not figuring out a solution… shame on them for waiting for people to leave their game to get rid of ques.
They should make transfers free off all full servers… they should have moved accounts to the new servers automatically who had not played in 3 months… they need to have either overflow servers or put in automated server mergers and splitters so it’s not up to me to try to figure out when to transfer on/ off severs…
Lol. That’s dumb… ags makes a problem and then wants us to pay then to help fix it. I have a token, but won’t leave my sever and can put up with the queues.
The other thing they need to do is allow the transfer from Home Screen… people sit in a 2000 person que just to login and transfer??? That is beyond stupid.
It is almost like they want to keep returning and new players away… I can’t understand for the life of me why they don’t do something over last 9 months
On the face of things, it was similar to NW when it comes to the servers.
Lots of servers, a seamless world that you could walk from one end of to the other without ever seeing a load screen (afaik that’s still mostly true today).
And yet they still integrated layering technology that spun up as needed for their servers. It was transparent on the front end. The only way you knew you’d entered a “layered” hotpsot was a small icon that appeared on the screen.
Feels like something like this would be the best solution for NW. A setup that wouldn’t mess up town ownership and would keep the game structure largely as it is today.
Add in x-server group content and I think we’d have a winning system that would end the current madness where it feels like any solution they go with makes a chunk of players miserable.
Disclaimer: I know absolute zero about the technology of either game or what it would take to do that for NW, so I dunno how possible it would be. I also like ESO’s megaserver setup but I don’t see how that could work well in NW without drastic changes (zone load screens, territory ownership etc). Plus the “seamless” world of NW is really cool and was one of my favorite things about LOTRO.strong text
The overwhelming majority of the players who remained playing since launch were forced to use those transfer tokens because AGS left way too many servers unplayable with less then 200 actives on a server.
I don’t think we are near the peak yet, it will peak in another week (over 100k) and then probably come back down to the 60k mark. Better than it was, but not as good as it could be.
