Cynical? Me? Never.

Title says it all. There needs to be BG servers like WoW. The unpopular scenarios can take hours to get into. Not to mention in about a year or less most scenarios will be empty unless this happens.

Umm, I played WoW for a total of 3 months.  Calm down, son. I think there are people out there who can see past their own nose.

Some people would simply rather see WAR die because of queues than adopt something that WoW had to do to correct the same problem

DaoC, EQ2, DnL, WoW, GW, SWG, AC, Tibia, WAR - atm: EvE and LotRO

Really good idea, on a low populated server when you play on the crowded side, the scenarios won't let you in for hours and hours...

>You hit God with 'Atheism' for 0 points of damage (status immunity).
>Turn ends.
>God casts 'summon plague'
>You suffer from 'Glioblastoma multiforme'
>God's 'Glioblastoma multiforme' hits you for 73281 points of damage.
>You die. Quit? (y/n)

The OP has a good point.  Once the  population increase slows down and people play through the lower levels, the queues for the lower tier scenarios will most likely be long just like WoW before the battlegroup's.  Also due to the xp gain in scenarios you are not going to find many twinks in the lower tier's which will further increase the queues.

What is your problem? Apart not being very bright ? Or there is somekind of personal satisfaction in knowing that thousands of us pass a lot of time waiting for the message to join to pop up?

Every time I queue for a scenario takes like 45 to 90 minutes to get in. On sunday I tried , in theory, to increase my RR, in a total of 8 hours playing, got in 4 scenarios ???!!!!, that normally last about 10 to 15 minutes each. And no, leveling was not an option since i was dangerously close of leaving tier 2 and wanted to increase RR before that, and RvR areas were not really that active also.

a multi server queue system, like they did in wow would cut the waiting time, what is a win win situation for players, without detracting anything from WAR style/concept. It is a good, valid, legit, constructive solution, unlike your fiery comment that add nothing to the situation apart revealing some strange personal issues .

You can either agree with me or be wrong!

*How* exactly are you expecting a multi server queue to reduce waiting times when nearly all servers have more destro than Order?

 

The best it'll achieve is an equally long queue for destro among the servers in the BG most likely safe the lucky few who get a slightly shorter queue because they are filled with some full/full servers rather than more High/Med Med/Low servers.

I'd prefer some other option be investigated first. Cross-realm scenario queueing would lead to 4000 scenarios running and I'm concerned that RVR would die off. I don't really know what the solution is though. Perhaps Mythic did open too many servers too quickly.

The truth is Order needs more cosmetically attractive/cool looking classes. Visually it's very bland.
