Server population managment

Whatever. If you can’t stand 10 minutes queues I don’t know what to say. Have fun in other games I guess.

Temporary queues will be here from time to time. Every update which brings influx of players can cause queues. Every company which decides to transfer to another server can cause queues. Solution takes a while, thats how it is. If you can’t accept this better stay off MMO games. FFXIV had queues, Lost Ark had queues, WoW has queues af right now. NW is no different :wink:

I have a level 10 character and don’t want it transferred to a new server. So please don’t just transfer all low level characters.

Yeah but you can sit in a 40 min queue once to transfer the character. I know its not ideal but cmon. Lets not be overly dramatic here.

other then lost ark i never got a que in any off those games and i instantly quit and never played lost ark again after they made it English and there was a que.

I did played the non English version years ago was fun game but wouldnt have sat in a que lots of successful mmos don’t have ques ever swtor, lord of the rings, i never had a que in FFXIV, ultima online, runescape, albion, neverwinter, the list of proper working games is almost endless mate

On some servers WoW has around 10k queues rn. Its multiple hours of waiting. Much worse than NW. And it is only prepatch which indicates it will be much worse.

Man, queues happen in MMOs :slight_smile:

I’ve been sitting in queues in Planetside to get on a particular map for years. Also hell let loose for a particular map. It’s not like queues are unusual in gaming.

Yeah it’s annoying, but not the main problem. I rather see lvl 60 players not leaving with their big PVP companies. They have wars every night so why leave. The big PVE companies will wait what happens, transfering >50 people isn’t easy. So only starting/returning players who may leave or start anew. Would be nice to know how many new/returning/transferred players we had on Tartarus the last 2 weeks. The problem will not solve itself as there is only 1 new server and 7 full with +500 players queues^^ But I still think AGS actively managing server pop would make this more predictable instead of just throwing empty servers

to both you and ales i get ques happen on some games and there the ones the older crowd leaves without the older crowd you got 200 pissy teenagers yelling at each other there the best not my kinda game

managing people isnt as easy as you think.

Your suggestions are ridicolous. You sugges to move all players under lvl 60 to the new server?? what about our friends. One of my friends just got his gf to start playing the game and she been grinding and is now at lvl 51. What if she just got transfered out of nowhere and now has to pay 15$ to get back to the server. You’re only suggesting a sollution which is good for your individual case.

The problem is that this game died out so they had to merge servers and now it got a big influx of players again and got a queue problem. So they open up a server and let people transfer over to it if they dont want to wait in queues. I dont see many sollutions better than that tbh.

I suggested pushing player below lvl 50, but thank you for reading. But yes I think actively pushing players (however you select them) to new servers makes sense as large groups tend to move rather slowly. But we will have to see what happens tomorrow. Maybe the new server is full after 30 min and we are still queuing :wink:

hopefully all the mega tryhards who currently fail to cap everfall transfer over to duke it out over first purchase and then I can have a lagfree server again. That’d be great.

There are a lot of solo/duo/trio players who can transfer off. Don’t underestimate how many of them are there :slight_smile: I am 625 solo player (left tryhard company long time ago) and I will definitely transfer off to new servers.

Yeah hope dies last. But I fear the same happens as when you go shopping: A new cash register opens and either no one moves to the new register or all move^^ Instead of every second person moving orderly to the new cash register, this just never happens. I just hope AGS would manage/ move larger player groups and individual people can still transfer individually maybe with 1-2 days cooldown. But not 100 of players at once. That just creates more chaos.

AGS won’t move anyone, there is no reason because players solve this issue themselves by moving to new servers.

PS: I personally think AS east needs 1 more server and EU needs 1 more server. EU has 6 full servers rn and I am not sure if 1 server is enough to cover all people.

AGS cant just move people around like that.

We are still paying customers and if I suddenly got moved to a different server that I didnt consent to I would be pissed as hell. If hundreds or thousands of people were moved that’s a lawsuit.

They are merging us without our consent though^^

There is a difference between merging people together and separating people from each other.

It’s two sides of the same coin: server population management. Merging when too few, spreading when too many

Would u like to be force transferred somewhere else without ur approval?

Let’s wait new servers and see how many transfer from each existing servers.

I hope you are never split from your friends by being forced to a different server than they are on.
