That's right, there'll be population caps for both order and destruction on each server. This is a very good decision imho

Yeah just saw that one yesterday. Important how he said, "We don't want to punish the other side just because they have more people."

Could see that screwing up quite a lot of people. Considering that the most have on beforehand picked what they want to be (Destruction/Order and probably Career too) and then they pick the server their friends play on, only to see that they can't play as - for instance - Destruction because there are too few on Order.

i see that screwing up...... a very small minority of people.... for the benefit of balanced servers.

 

No brainer that this is an excellent move on part of Mythic.

Note that he said it is a SOFT cap, as in "people logged on at one time." Not "number of X chars created on the server" kind of cap.

This.

I imagine they will use a queue system. Nothing wrong with that, IMO, and it doesn't make it so friends may not be able to play the same faction.

Solution: Play different chars on different servers. During the CB i had two chars on two different servers, when one server goes down, i hop on the other and both chars got equal loving due to that.

This is not a game.
