Dunno whether to laugh or cry really. I guess the positive is they are full and not fallen over yet...

They've got more servers they can plug in ;D Guessing they weren't expecting EN languages to be so popular on EU :D

tbh i doubt they will put more servers up until release they are probably getting all the data they need from the ones they have.

The servers are dead before 4pm anyway.

yep the point of the open beta is to test the servers to thier limits so the fact is they wont take strain off the servers they want it there to show that the servers can take it.

that is just a very misleading thing (bug that needs to be fixed tbh !!!) because the estimated time predication is nowhere near accurate until at least 5 second have passed. even with a queue of close to 100 people in front of me, i never had to wait for more than 2 mins in really, even if it said during the first 5 seconds that it would take 15+ mins.

and they are in the progress of allowing more and more people on each server, to find out where the limits are that the servers can cope with.

at the moment the servers seem to do well even when `full` without creating much server side lag, which means they can still allow more people on each server.

only having 2 tiers available will to some degree emulate the game on release where everyone will be in the first 1-2 zones and after 1-2 months where nearly everyone will be playing in the final tier.

i have no idea what the amount of people is that they are allowing on a server now, but the servers can clearly cope with it and they`ll keep on increasing the limit of people than can play on a server.

it`s all part of the data they want to collect from the open beta.

you are testing stuff, the fact that you can also play a pre release game is just a nice bonus ;)

it probably would be convenient for some people to have more servers, but then that aspect of the testing wouldn`t get done properly.

The wourst part is that im playing on server Burlok and its full.. And pvp is so dead.. i mean seriusly u need to stay in que for 1 scenario for around 4h (at start places!, not gonna even mention how it looks at ather places) or smth.. and When u go and going to capture the places there is like nada ather players..

Try the empire/chaos starter zones for tier 1 scenarios. On most servers you'll never wait more than a few minutes to get in.

Only the Destruction Side is full. Credit where credit is due, I think GoA have actually handled server populations pretty well.

Edit: I see they increased the server limit at 9pm.

Only des is full, or high on most servers. It is easy to get on as order, and it needs more order players quick. Very unbalanced at the mo with everyone jumping for des.

not had any problems with Kharag Hirn (or whatever it's called) for Empire scenario with the guns. Got our arses handed to us on a plate though, amusingly enough the Destruction side were more organised than the Order team

Unfortunately, nothing was going on with the Elf scenario, was waiting for ages there with no luck

Queued for 25 mins to get in until cap raised. But server performance seemed to be pretty good with numbers which is a big plus.

I'm very impressed with server performance actually. My PC can just barely run the game, so I have a very low frame rate (well <10, constantly), and the game enginge stil feels smooth and responsive as long as I don't try to manipulate the UI faster than my poor old 2100+ can handle. And that's more than I can say for some sessions of WoW I've had on this computer.

for those of you lucky enough to be able to play, how busy are the servers?

Are we looking at the same amount as on wow? or can you go ages without seeing anyone?

I know you are new, but you must learn a few things about freddy.

Freddy loves the coc.

Freddy respects the coc.

Maybe you should have a look at the coc?

I have had absolutely no problem getting on whatsoever, but then I have been order. Heard of ques for des though. Servers are fairly busy in terms of people about though, although the majority are focused around the PQ or RvR areas.

when i got online last night at around ....21.00 i think it was ?, i first patched, which took roughly 30 mins, then i got the server list, saw around 20 servers, almost all of them "Full", about 7-8 english servers and rest german, spanish or french.....anywho not english ones =)

i joined the last english server on the serverlist hoping that was the least full one =) and apparently i didnt have to do any queuing to get in so full dosent mean full it seems, anywho if you got bad experiences with one server, just try another one.

How does "being the underdog" make any difference in an instanced scenario?

BTW, I still am not convinced that population will stay the same once the game hits live. I remember the same threads and the same oppinions from back when I was in the US WoW beta. Maybe the Warhammer IP attracts more greenskins-at-heart or the genre itself changed, but I aint sold yet.

Interesting times ahead! :)
