Originally posted by dimmit77 The problem is that there are no zones, so if 5 groups go to do the same quest , all of them are around the same area. Especially on weekends things get crazy. Places like TK and CiS can get more than 15 groups at same time easy. Sometimes I sit and wonder what would hapen if 60-70 peeps got in Mistmoore Castle at same time. Now thats a thought As far as how many people play I have no clue. Last official word last month was 200000+ sales and a little less than that subscribers. Are you on drugs? 200+? Plus no zones is BS. Every chunk is a zone and you notice the chunks because your invis will drop. your horse will drop, or you will die when you cross one.

Originally posted by Acephalia Erm, you guys seem not capable of handling the truth that vanguard is doing better now? No according to the OP and a few others this 1 server is doing better. Why? Because it was one of the heavier populated servers so all the people on the low pop servers are leaving for it is what I am guessing. Start asking those players you see if they rerolled from another server. I am guessing that is what is happening in most cases. Happened in EQ2 before the server merges, a lot of people on the low pop servers started going over to AB because it had a high population.

That makes sense Stoney, I played EQII on AB from release until last fall, and watched as the population declined after release then picked back up as people migrated over to AB. For this game probably the best thing for the game would be to do a server merge but I doubt if certain peoples egos could handle that if ya know what I mean. Underpopulated servers, long travel times, and a group oriented design do not go well together. I miss DAoC

Every chunk is a zone and you notice the chunks because your invis will drop. your horse will drop, or you will die when you cross one. Neither invis, horse or death occur for me when I chunk. My illusions do drop though. Also 1-2 secs of freeze when changing chunks is WAY different than a couple of mins zoning. If your mind cannot understand the difference, its beyond me to explain. And about my 'am I on drugs ' quote lets go back to the sentence and read it together. (Something I would do to any 6 year old that has trouble reading.) As far as how many people play I have no clue . The beggining of the sentence impies I dont really know how many people actually play the game. Last official word last month. This part of the sentence implies that sometime in march someone from Sigil made a comment about sales and subscriber numbers. 200000+ sales and a little less than that subscribers.Thats in my recolection is what they said. I hope this clears things up for you mate. For further help talk to your teacher.

Where do YOUbase your number? Intuition? Divine inspiration? The force? A little green man came down and told you?

EQ2 zones take 2-5 seconds to load for me and I don't have to "load" more when I get near things which causes more stutters, etc...

You mean you've misconstrued your numbers. Sigil has yet to give out any active subscriber numbers. Only a number of "registered" users. All you know is that they've apparently sold over 200,000 boxes

EQ2 zones take 2-5 seconds to load for me and I don't have to "load" more when I get near things which causes more stutters, etc... Back when EQ2 was releasead you could go do something else while a zone was loading. Especially if you didnt have a top performance pc. Nowdays after 2 years of optimazation and advance in computer technology is much better. Still tnowhere near (2-5) secs you claim. Even if you do have a comp that will load you fast, dont tell me that you dont have to wait for other people while zoning for a raid. Its bio time for us. Dont have time now, will explain to you later the difference between chunking and zoning ,their cons and pros of how I see them. But dont give me chunking as game breaking characteristic and immersion killer, when you play games with zoning which take 10 times as much time to load you from one area to the other. In my opinion its just plain stupid.

"server overpopulation" LOL :) propably a dev trying to make some marketing for vanguard saga of vanbois... since lord of the rings online pre-order started last week and since its official release is in a few days there is no reason to play vanguard anymore and I highly doubt that vanguard has a overpopulation problem :) lord of the rings is far better than vanguard and runs 10.000 times more stable, so please stop making commerical for dark and light's brother, since we are no idiots..

Hear hear! I agree, even on the SOE forum people are asking for a server merge since the LOTR preorder came out. And to be honest it's 2007 now, customers don't have to put up with hardcore grinding and bad performance anymore to play a mmo, that type of gameplay died with the age of Anarchy Online.

I'm very frustrating trying to post my "viral" messages. Every time I do some incredibly bright child on the forum catches me! You kids are making it very hard from an honest developer to post viral messages on the server. You are just too smart!

The village was cleaned out and we were locked in a race to lag mobs. The night before it was the same thing over near Donovan's Roost Does anyone know of any out of the way questing areas for characters in their early 20s on Qalia? There is a server over-population problem on Vanguard servers? Wow, I haven't noticed that on my server at all.. Im on Flroendyl, btw. Florendyl is underpopulated. Damn...underpopulated....you sure you play vanguard on that server? If you think it's underpopulated i don't want to hear you say a server is overpopulated...but hey! I am sure you know what you are talking about and the players i meet arent really around....must be the booze here...

It's obvious enough that you are an idiot with statements like that. But Hey! have fun with the rest of the kids in lord of the rings, you suit perfectly for that.

Yup thousands and thousands of players left vanguard for a kiddie game. Keep dreaming though you amuse me.
