Megaservers Holywar thread

General Discussion General Discussion

Ok, so, I just read this article

And last thread I found about megaservers was in October and it died pretty quickly

So I got few questions:

  1. Do you think new world may change mechanics so much so NW becomes playable with some kind of megaserver?
  2. Why those approaches to servers so rarely discussed by community?
  3. Do you remember any devs words about cross-server activities except cross-server OPR?
  4. Do you think current approach of 2.5k per server is good? Why?
  5. Is there any way to make some kind of quickly interchangeable worlds?

There are working on cross server instancing, for OPR initially but this can be pushed out to invasions, dungeons etc and yes I nice persistent War map between servers that resets weekly, akin to GW2 WvW or something like that.

Fingers crossed.

You say invasions - why is it still not a thing? As I understood it was added for wars some time ago. Anyway, fingers crossed

So smaller companies can get the a decent number of participants. While I like invasions, I most certainly do not like the damage that occurs to crafting stations etc if you fail to defend. :slight_smile:

Bad design. Grief upon Grief :slight_smile:

Oh and Wars are still server based, every instance is.

Wait, not on separate server or something? Pretty sure that I read it somewhere

It may be technically hosted on a separate physical/logical server when in play, but it’s still based on the population from one box, not cross server.
