Can perhaps make it like there are 3 parts to the cluster, where you can choose which realms to play. Like you can have a combination of Hibernia - Hibernia - Midgard, or Albion - Midgard - Hibernia.GReaper said:I'll assume this is currently technically impossible for GOA. However it would be nice to be able to delete characters on a clustered server and switch realms on it, without having to delete every single character in that cluster.
The current solution currently meets the needs of US customers, which has 4 clusters for you to create a new character on. However it does not help players on EU servers with such a limited choice.
Thadius said:Id want this to happen, if only to play as a mid
Having my main server as A;b/Prydwem and a lot of chars on Excal, even if i delete the excal chars, i couldnt change realm :<
Make it like camlann imo, where you can have cahr for each of the three realms
This is like the same poll i made about 1 new eng server?
it is impossible to do that. they have said it meny times on goa site and herald. its tehnically impossible.
Thorwyn[B&Q] said:No, it´s not.
The difference is, that even if people decide to play a different realm, it would still be on one cluster/server, so the overall player population would still be high enough to acutally feed the server, whereas in your setup, we would have a new server with a population of 250 primetime.
Thorwyn[B&Q] said:So you want a new server solely for the purpose of people rolling chars, then cluster it? Why not fix the problem in the first place then instead of a temporary workaround?
Thorwyn[B&Q] said:ok... slowly now.
the problem:
People who´re coming to Exc/Pry can currently only roll one realm. This isn´t exactly satisfying, because there are three realms. Mythic or GoA say, that it´s impossible to roll chars on more than one realm on a clustered server.
Your solution:
Create a new server, let it open for how long? 1 month? 2 months? then cluster it to Exc/Pry.
Drawback: it´s a temporary solution. People who want to roll yet another realm AFTER the new server is clustered are being left out and we got the same situation as we currently have.
The real solution:
Rethink the "it´s impossible" part and make it possible for all people playing on Exc/Pry. Maybe it´s not technically possible with the current code, but I`m sure that there´s got to be some workaround to make it permanently possible.
See the difference now? While your solution doesn´t really do anything but give people a temporary time-window to create new chars, my approach is one step further down the line.
