I could care less about playing with friends atm …there will be option to move servers …problem is that i cannot play … at least not with same char on same shard .
If you have played in the first day of launch, you would understand why 2k cap is enough. There’s a main story mob that you need to kill and there’s nearly 50 people around it 
what do you do then ? Try and try again for an hour before you get it. Imagine double, triple that. Game’s resources are more limited than the server I think.
Mining Iron? Nah bro, there’s 50 more people going after it.
I honestly think what they are doing is spreading people across zones before increasing the limit cap. So that the next wave of 2k goes again and the others are already in the upper level zones. This way you avoid big congestion.

I have explored entire map and lots of secret areas in Beta …there is lots of places to add resources if needed …could be problem with quests …Once they implement that secret area to the north into game ,lots will be different …but atm servers can’t support more than 2500 to maximum 3000 without breaking game for peeps on that server.

You cannot do that.
You get a review per day of units sold by steam.
Even retailers tell you how many pre-orders they received…
All the needed to do is simple math.
Take the D-A-C-H Region (GErmany, Austria, Switerland ) do you know how many DE/EN Server they started with? 8…
16k Slots for a region where alone Germany has 82 Million people and if we assume just 0.01% of them are interested that number still is five times what they put out. They knew they hype, they knew how often their adds rolled out, how many they seen and especially how many units were sold where.
They tried to cheapskate, got caught out by it knowingly and well aware of it. Amazon tried to invest as little as possible in infrastructure and caused the issue all by themselves.
Congrats you have no friends that play the game already. I don’t play MMOs alone. Unfortunately, I need to go where my guild is. It’s the blessing and the bane of MMO infrastrucutre.
My company agreed after fiasco yesterday to log in any server level up and meet laters,no point going on same server if you never play .
If I know anything about how large tech organizations think (hint: I do) the thought process is this:
“Okay AGS. This is our first really big adventure into the world of game development. You need to hit xyz KPI’s if you want any additional funding for future projects.”
*looks at KPI’s and sees profitability requirements
“Hmmm… okay guys. We’re going to have to be conservative and controlled with our launch. If we break the bank here then New World and AGS are dead in the water before they even begin.”
You could have all 82 million Germans begging to play on day one. They are no match for a dude at amazon with a finance degree and the power to shut down the entire studio if they don’t post a strong enough margin. Oh and that guy is a total idiot who doesn’t actually know anything about running businesses. He just REALLY likes spreadsheets.

I made the same thing yesterday. Noatun server.Today I’m 1700th in queue.
Actually what? What is your point exactly?
There is literally 30 people in the Inn running towards walls. They can start kicking those players first or detect autohookkeys or similar

Players have been reporting getting stuck on autorun in game actually. So Unfortunately we can’t use that as justification to assume botting yet.
dude EU servers after 2pm all have que times ALL Of them eather u play US server with 200 + ping or wait 13 to 15 hours in a que because when u wait u get a error that restarts ur que again and u wait and wait and wait and wait + some of us have friends that we made on beta and playing together in a company picking a different server is not even an option " and im not saying we picked the most popular server there we picked the one with less ppl and no streamer and we still have 3-5k que
same but now the game crash random for no reason, same problems as the beta
At least the EU players have rights and the lawsuits are only a matter of time, EU consumer protection laws are very good
Increasing the cap won’t do good… the world is designed for 2k people… They should either allow to join multiple servers with the same char… or have server channels implemented.
East Coast Server in US. A working adult can not play. Only time you can actually get on is first thing in the morning or after midnight. I get the whole roll a new toon on a fresh server, this is an option for a new solo player. For a person with friends who rolled day 1 this is not an option. Before you say, “well you shouldn’t of rolled on a populated server”, this was day one and other than the “streamer” servers no one knew what to expect from each server. People that started day of on a fresh server are pretty screwed if you are a work outside of home person.
I suspect that they didn’t expect all 500k to start playing the game on a weekday. Most working adults probably don’t have time to play during the week and would take it up on the weekend. But that’s just an educated guess. Obviously, they didn’t do this on purpose because they’re sadists and love watching people suffer in queues.
If I were a guild on an overpopulated server, I’d want to move to a lower populated server (as a guild) as soon as possible. That way, you don’t have to worry about some of your guild not being able to get in because of queues. Logic, try it some time.
Makes sense to move but I don’t blame people that don’t want to move until they can transfer their characters.
