My guess is that they don’t want there to be enormous queues when Brimstone launches. I am fine with this as I don’t want to be stuck in a horrific queue. Once the Brimstone peak passes, or they think the queues are manageable I expect they will unlock more servers.

I think current players on locked servers should be able to generate a limited number of “invites” that allow friends to join their full server.
It’s not as if the “fullness” of the server is an exact science (the amount of players with a character on the server is not equal to the amount of players online right now and queues can deal with the fluctuation). The problem of locked servers blocking word-of-mouth and strong-tie customer accumulation is bad for everyone.

Unlock EU servers which doesnt have que issues and pop decreased a lot as well
unlock these servers already
nope. nope. nope.
I disagree with all these threads popping up.
Every account was given TWO server/world transfers.
Use those and go to one of the lower populated, new servers to help balance server population. Stop trying to make the high pop servers even more high pop.
Server queues are already going to be bad come tomorrow. Stop trying to make it worse by adding to it.
You realize SO many people are stuck not playing with friends right? Personal example: I am an officer in a company and I have 4-5 friends that are coming back, but haven’t logged into the game in 4-6 months. They are trapped on another server and can’t migrate over to play with me and our company. We aren’t uprooting a whole company to go to a new server for 4-5 people. However, those 4-5 people can help flesh out our army.
Its obnoxious and there are lots of cases like this for returning players who are stuck not moving over to play with friends.
I guess the question begs… how did you and your friends end up on different servers then? If y’all were on the same server before you or they took a break, you’d be on the same server now.
In any case, that is probably irrelevant. I still vote to keep the current locked servers locked. Server queues come tomorrow are going to be nuts, no need to add to them when players have the choice to not just server & world transfer, but can region transfer as well.
Because a lot of merges have happened since then and a lot of servers have died? This is kind of a silly question.
They’d still be on the same server, they’d still be able to play together… it’s not silly, its a genuine question.
How can they not play together if they created on the same server, and the server mergers pushed them all onto the same server anyway?
it’s not like they broke apart a server, some went to Server A, others went to Server B. That isn’t how the mergers worked… like… at all.
A lot of servers died or got destroyed by mega/elite companies, so people transferred off. That is my point. Example, I was on Orofena, it was taken over by Ego’d (literally the whole map) and the PVP population fled. I have friends stuck over there from 3-4 months ago before it was Ego dominated.
Mmk… so… every account was given two transfers, and you can use them to transfer to a different region. Why exacerbate the server problem we’re going to have come tomorrow by transferring to a high pop server? Why not transfer to a lower pop server? Farming would be easy, wars would be easy, and the more people do this, the more people will come to that server - alleviating the server queues we’re going to have tomorrow.
Why do I feel like the only one with foresight on this subject? Do y’all want 12 hour queues again like we had last year?
If you have an established company, you aren’t moving 50 players to gain 4. That is not how that works.
Also, if you quit 3-4 months ago you most likely don’t have a transfer.
Yes you do, every account was given two transfers, one of which can be used to do a full on region transfer.
Also, moving 4 people is no different than moving 100. Communication is key. If you lose some in the process, it’s because you can’t convince everyone, just the way things are.
I remember moving a full WoW guild from one server to another, not once, but twice. We only lost 1 person during the move because they were on vacation when the call went out. Communication made it simple.
I already transferred TWICE in the past month to get away from locked servers in order to get friends back together. But Maramma locked without warning, and we couldn’t get everybody back in time. I’m not about to transfer a third time, and ask everybody else who just came back to transfer again, just so I can end up on another server that’ll be locked without warning soon.
AGS need to realize people want to come back to play with their friends, not to be alone stranded. MMO’s are fun because you get to play with friends and guildies. I’ve been playing this transfer game too many times already and I’ve only been back for less than 2 months. All just to get away from locked servers so we could get the band back together.
Also I picked Maramma because when transferring, every single server available on the server list said MED. I didn’t pick it because it’s a high pop server or want to stack, or whatever people think. It’s not players fault to transfer to an available MED pop server as it’s listed on the server selection screen.
Seems like they already have a solution for dormant accounts issues (for people worrying about 30,000 returning players logging in): World and Queue Mitigation News
So yeah please unlock servers for a bit to let us get friends back together. It’s the only reason they’re even considering coming back, so they could play NW with friends again. Thank you.
