thats what war is on most of realms. that what war is for us europeans. with goa.. how can you have server with 236 players ( order only i presume ) and call it medium ? hows that anywhere even close TO EXTREMLY LOW POPULATION , back in wow days.. having 5k per server was bit duh.. we were like.. 5k is too low.. now 5 years after we have warhammer servers which can hold 1k-2.5k players..

tbh i do not enjoy game as much as i thought.. im in medium/high.. order vs high/full(queued ) dest realm ..

scenario once hour.. pqs. . what? whats that. doesnt exist.. there are 2 european servers with high order . or 4. well 2 german doesnt rly count. lucky them

 

no i dont care if game wasnt released.. it was released for those who wanted most.. it will be released for last 20% tommorrow.. which wont fill servers.. which wont make goa world war 2 servers to be something more than old pile of shit..

 

frustrated like hell. my copy is inc.. tomorrow or friday i dont care anymore.. im probably canceling my third copy.. and just giving mine to a friend.. and quiting warhammer.. after this short ride

 

if i play mmo.. i play it from start.. there was no mmo where i did play it month or more after it launched. why i do that.. main reason .. players. lots of players... what this feels. is like playing wow on low pop server lvling from 1to 60.. just that there game doesnt turn about others..

 

just my rant. and i dont care how shity is my grammar .. disapointed..

"it will be released for last 20% tommorrow.."

 

.

If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

I hear caps will be raised at release. Due to them not wanting servers overfilled with headstarters

Also do you realise that it has not fully launched, and most of the HS are congregated on a few servers, also im order on karak orrud, and there is no shortage of PQ groups Scen's and open world pvp, so dont throw a tantrum when your server is not very busy, because many are.

Wow I guess you missed the memo where they were limiting server caps at release and slowly raising them as more players leveled?

Of course if you gage this 20 % from this board yea most people on here who wanted the game already have it and it's really logical to say that.  I am in waiting for tomorow to get it, like, i don't know, everyone that want to play a (mostly) finished mmo. Testing it is not something I wanted to do (to some extend).

Last 20%? Do you have any idea about how many sellers couldn't provide head start codes for SE, which lots of people bought?

Is it that hard to think a little before posting?

Not sure how you can say that is logical,at anytime on this board only around 20% of people are even logged in and the other 80% are guests who cant post now how can you say how many of them are playing this/wanting to play this game,it is very much illogical to state that 80%of this board that want to play the game are playing the game.

Anyway I stick with with original comment     ...

So with pre-orders totaling 1.5 million and servers capped at 2500, then you have roughly, uhh, 600 servers?  That must be a real hassle to choose from...

 

Something tells me your 2500 players per server assumption is not quite on the mark.  :)

Besides all other comments; don't expect every game feature to work completely smoothly just after, and let alone, before launch. There are quite a few people who wait out a release a month or more for the initial problems with balances, stability and bugs to be delt with. Sadly I don't have the patience either, hehe.

op havent got a clue what hes talking about, im playing on 2 servers in the headstart both order and dest, first day of HS they had to open new servers cause we FILLED the ones they started with, and its not low pop servers.. i mean every zone is full to the brim with players, sometimes its a real fuckin hassle when you got 40 peeps doign the same pq..

 

so wth is op on about ? servers filled=check, players swarming zones=check, scenario starting EVERY minute=check, massive zergs=check

 

ull be hard pressed to find a server thats not overpopulated now, sure they have the popcap but even with that the servers are swamped and in my humble opinion that cap is too high

both servers i play on are the same, and i waited a few hours and chose the LAST 2 servers that werent listed as (full) on both sides

Wows server cap was only 2 to 3K at Launch...I'm guessing WAR's is something similiar and as time goes ona nd optimization happens over time they up the Cap.   The Cap in WAR is Low to get the servers started they've been opening up the servers atleast in NA to higher caps but I doubt they'll open up much further before launch.

btw i think low med high full is also factored by the ratio of destruction to order as well.   BTW you can't see the total number of people on a Server OR a Realm (since the pop camp is PER Realm (destrcution vs order) not Server.

I'm not calling sheninagins on the OP just curious where he's geting his made up fantasy numbers.

There aren't 1.5 Million Pre orderse Please go Reread the article it states there are 1.5 Million boxes shipping / sold to RETAILERS...there's no official numbers on the Pre orders all we know is the Pre Order Numbers are a Record for EA PC Games thats it.

Still bodes fairly well for Mythic thats for sure.

I have no problem getting in groups-getting people to join my groups..  PQ's are going off like clockwork.. Zones are populated and people talk.. Well not as much as I would like, but a little..  I play on 2 servers also and have had the same situation on both sides..  So I call BS or perhaphs your playing at 14:00 when everyone is at work?  Course I play then sometimes and its deserted then.. hehe  Till tomorrow anyway :D

Count me in the missing 20% I guess.  I'm waiting until the game launches and the rush dies down a bit before playing.

Which WoW-server held 5k players?

Wow was released to the open public in November 23rd of 2004..

So with all do respect, the game will be coming up on 4 years and not 5.

I was refering to something else. This is mmorpg.com.  It is a safe bet to say  anyone here is interested in mmo.   I was also being a litlle sinic/satyric (w-e) about it.  Of course 20% came out of his arse.
