If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

Given its one 'super server' then sure I can see it working. Otherwise its just a kind of channel feature thats been done plenty of times before, which actually is usually a thing in place to avoid lag and other issues. Nothing new at all, the only thing new is they seem to want to make the phase(channel) based off what you base yourself as rather then just putting you randomly in a low population one and letting you switch away (which I assume you will be able to for the sake of finding others).

what questions would they have to ask to get a reasonable people server?
I have to be honest with you. We have completely blown up the design of EverQuest Next. For the last year and a half we have been working on something we are not ready to show. Why did we blow up the design? The design was evolutionary. It was EverQuest III. It was something that was slightly better than what had come before it. It was slightly better.What we are building is something that we will be very proud to call EverQuest. It will be the largest sandbox-style MMO ever designed.--Smed |

Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this. |

erm... well yes... that would be the heart of it. The thread was started to remark on the method of sorting players according to playstyle was a good thing, it wasn't meant to say the technology was necessarily new or anything. This approach is certainly pretty new, as far as I know and, to me, is a good thing. Rather than just looking for something to be negative about, what do you think about it as a concept? Is ability to filter your 'phase' according to personality, language, timezone, play style, and other variables a good or bad thing in your eyes? |

To reiterate, the best games cater to all playstyles, instanced to feck rules at least half of them out.

well... the game will cater to many play styles... I am not sure you have understood the concept being discussed fully here? If you have, maybe clarify what offends you so heavily about allowing like minded people to find each other? |

Originally posted by Vesavius Sounds interesting. Any info as to how they are going to categorize 'playstyle'? If there's any flaw to this approach, it would be in how they decide to categorize these things. If they make these distinctions too much, I can definitely see people getting confused / just picking w/e server and ignoring the distinction alltogether. There's also the potential issue of popular playstyles being more attractive, simply because they have more people. Still, I like this idea. Interested to see how it plays out. |

Again.. this doesn't really expand on why you find giving players filters to find a server appropriate to their play style or general personality/ culture a bad thing. |

As far as I understand it will just be a questionaire, so probably just a checklist with options such as; PvE, PvP, Age 13+, Age 20+, Casual, Grouping, Solo, or whatever. I would guess you could check multiple boxes and just get filtered that way. I don't pretend to be an expert though or know the details of what they intend :) |

I believe many of you all need to think about this feature realistically.
Imagine the impact this feature will have on a game that has a small /Strinking population. It's a bad idea.

I prefer to play on servers with a mix of different playstyles.

This is one of the few things about this upcoming game I like.
I make spreadsheets at work - I don't want to make them for the games I play. |

Originally posted by Vesavius when I read the title, that is exactly what went through my mind.
It's about time multi-shard MMOs started assigning the servers by something relevant and not just region.
filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

No one considers the possibility that everyone does the following?
"Hmm, ages +21, more mature people, check! RP'ers? They used to be mature in WoW, Check! PvP? I don't want to be excluded from PvP, check! Group? I like grouping to instances, check! Solo? Yes I want to play solo from time to time, check!, English speaking people? I know no English, but its better than playing with Russians, Check! Wait a second, I'll just check them all, except for +13 years olds, I dont want to play with kids" - anonymous, 15, Brazil.

Honestly, I don't like it. I'm still stuck in the "us vs. them" mentality. US vs the world pretty much. I don't know if it's ingrained in me or not but I honestly get disgusted when I come to find out I'm grouping with euros. =\
