i've just seen this too many times before a games release where something spooks the guild and you inevitably have a split and people start leaving. and i'd hate to see that play out here.

So I think that everyone needs to take a deep breath, and calm down.

1: the server cap probably isn't going to be THAT much of an issue.

2: if it is, transfers are free for the first couple weeks or so, so we can always make the decision to move AFTER release.

3: we're going to face an equal amount of ignorance, misogyny, and blatant trolling wherever we decide to stay, it's a given. You don't back down from things like that, you don't run. you stand your ground and you educate. you take it on yourself to try to open someone's eyes, and you recognize the lost causes and let sleeping dogs lie.

flag the whole guild in game as violating TOS.

oh come on guys, really? are we going to let a bunch of ignorant people troll us? i doubt they'll have any sort of real presence there at all.

problem is not only that but that they will fill up the server to full. :S

Sorry, but I'm going to have to roll somewhere else.

Reddit is the worst community I have ever interacted with. The amount of blatant and casual racism, homophobia, and misogyny that goes unmoderated on reddit has completely turned me off.

I'd still like to join the guild so that we can play together when guesting is released though.

While this may be an issue at first, I am sure they will unlock the servers as things settle down. They may initially, for the first month or so, lock the server if it's full, but the player base trickles off fast after the first couple months. It might just be a rough month. :(

so is CD still going to be the guild server and GLBT server because of this?

It's about 24 hours to launch, and it's never good to change horses in mid-stream. We'll just have to monitor the server caps, like Kerstov said.

yeah thats was I was thinking too and some members wont see the new so they roll on CD anyways. I know I would be annoyed if i didnt see the "we decided to change our home server..." new and rolled on CD then have to pay gems to switch.

During the last stress test I checked and could see at least a half-dozen + players are already on CD...many of us not and I was one of them.

I take it that everything is going to be wiped down to ground zero, including previous server selections and it will be a race for all of us to get on CD? (I'm assuming this is the case.)

I'm not quite up to speed where Reddit is concerned...again I'm assuming it's their size that becomes and issue for us... and it's not political issues with them?

Just a quick thought...how about making a fast poll for emergency votes to see how many have head-start access and how many will have to wait until the actual release date to select a server...with a third choice on the poll for "later than that."

If this could be done quickly enough some valuable numbers float to the surface which would give a more accurate assessment of how to proceed with main and backup servers and who might end up going where. Luck is going to play an important roll in this no doubt but a poll like that can make it easier to see who may get left out of CD and how best to cover them.

There was a 1hour stress test today, everything was already wiped. Gems you had (if you had any),gold,characters and you had to select a home server again today.

They're doing another wipe after this stress test now. (from thursday one, I know because they said it on twitter).

and yes, I think its gonna be a race to select your home server, then reserve your character names. I guess if you're logging at the headstart launch you should be good.

so is CD still going to be the guild server and GLBT server because of this?

Fergusons Crossing was selected as the backup server in the event you cannot roll on CD. The guild will have to have a rank there that can manage server based tasks like influence.

I'm still no clear on what to do if CD is full. Just pick Ferguson's Crossing instead? :\ Anyway, since server transfers are free for the first week I will probably just get in where I can and move when I can.

We will know more this weekend for sure- if the servers cap -then reddit followers cant join either so it's going to be a shared issue.

.......crudbuckets

Lol.. And if you read through the posts someone suggests fergusons crossing as the backup server :silly:

Thanks for the advice. I decided to go with the G700. I liked that the buttons were spread out a bit, and I like that it's wireless. Since I game on a laptop, it'll be easy to transport if I'm staying at my bfs and want to nerd out there.

Sorry for hijackin the post, haha.

Good choice. :) I absolutely love my G700.

All points well taken and thank you so much Halish for your thoughts and consideration in that area. /applaud

Disclaimer: I wasn't asking for a website overhaul....just a minor adjustment in one area or another, so it was more clear where to go for off-topic stuff. Of which, Halish gave (or will be giving in the future) its due attention...and I am grateful.

/salute :)

There must be a barrel somewhere they keep scraping them out of.

That must be why they tend to have that tannin aftertaste and oaky bouquet.

24 hours from 4:20 PM is 4:20 PM the next day - which would mean your 24 hour period would expire by launch 5 hours later.. clear as mud!

doh. :pinch: why you had to crush my dream? :P

Meh, unless they do a really early start tomorrow i have a chance. Im not going to count on it, players would be pissed especially those who didnt know and missed their chance to select a server/grab names.

Time to spam to log in button tomorrow!
