Admin Announcement: Full server, what now?

[Agmen of Eladesor]

I've dontated in the past, and I'll donate again before too long. Again, if everyone gives $10 or $20 - that's quite enough funds to purchase whatever would be needed. You'd pay that much for a month of WOW - without as much fun and entertainment as you get here.

Certainly at this point in time, the main server is quite full - pretty much most of the time. While a lot of that is due to 48.53 being out - there are other servers running that mod as well. I have two characters on one of those servers - and it has the capacity to hold 127 players, with an average of 15 on at any one time. There's just not the RP experience available there - and I've only got a ping of 30 to that one, versus my usual 180 to Disco. I'd much rather play here.

As was mentioned earlier, a second server for events would be good. Even BEFORE 4.85 came out, weekends certainly were ... busy as all get out. Trying to log on during Friday evening, Saturday, and most of the day Sunday, was a crapshoot. Rest of the week - hey, it's all fine and dandy.

There's an error in the thinking on the empty space on having two servers. Traders wouldn't be able to exploit the empty spaces - they wouldn't exist. Say Bretonia was on Server A and the Omegas were on Server B. You jump from Dublin to Omega 49 - you switch servers. You head around down to Omega 3 and come back in to Cambridge - you switch servers. As far as Server A is concerned, the Omegas don't exist, and you can't get there on that server.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
