Any news on if and when there's to be any server cloning?

[Gesta]

As the title says anybody heard if its a yay or nay on this and/if/when/or etc

 

[Angara]

What are you talking about? Servercloning?

 

[Heta]

I'm not sure, but I think it have something to do with server cloning, but as I said, I'm not 100% sure thats what hes talking bout

because of the population on eight peaks I heard rumours that they might clone the server and provide another server for you to choose to play on with the characters you already have on the server, so you can move to another server should you choose and not lose your character and have to start again from scratch.

thus reducing queues etc

They did that with a couple of servers in America apparently but it wasn't a huge succes as everyone expected "the other" people would move to the cloned server

Edit: Any people on Karak Eight Peaks that would transfer there char out if they had the chance to do so?

That's not the point. It gives people the choice. At the moment people HAVE to queue if they want to play their characters they have already spent a week on. If you introduce server cloning they can choose to avoid the queues. If they choose to stay and endure the queues they can't complain.

Risk moving to a server that would probably end up being low/low? nah I'd take my chances with the queues, they are not actually that bad, not had anything more than 30 minutes this week...and I welcome the time to get some work done

Same for me, I wouldn't dare to move to a server with a great potential to stay underpopulated. I'll deal with the queues instead

As the abovies have said.Going by the flop this was in the US it wont work here either, noone wants to go from a short queue scenario server to a dead server....its not even a choice really

I'm personally happy to sit it out for a good month to see how it all pans out before even considering this but was wondering if there was any news.

I wasn't sure how it worked in the states but glad to have had some feedback.

Unfortunately there are some who don't have the liberty to wait in a 30 min queue especially when there's too many issues with crashing to desktop.

A casual gamer who gets 20 mins game play out of 2h30mins worth of play due to queuing isnt going to want to stick about on a busy server.

I haven't had many issues with the game so far and i'm pleased with how its all going, i'm checking for others that are concerned within my guild and passing on the info and options being the saint that i am

 

[Draylor]

Duh.

Of course it failed. Theres a reason why noone else had tried this before, heh.

I wouldnt hold my breath for cloning on this side of the pond. It might alleviate the server load slightly, but could be mitigated by the influx of players that rerolled on another server already and feel inclined to come back to play with old friends.

Was a great idea actually, even tho it didnt work out.
