Apologies if there's a thread on this elsewhere, I did a quick skim of the last few pages of threads and didn't find anything directly on this subject. I admit I've not been able to have as much coffee as normal today and I'm suffering withdrawl a bit.
I'm glad the server list has been published but I've got a minor concern or two. Primarily because it doesn't really help that the server list is up in any practical terms because of one key line on the server list announcement:
"Also, please note that these are the servers planned for launch – some of these will not be available during Head Start."
I've been arranging with a few guilds to agree a server to land on, but we have a fair number of people with the various flavours of Head Start and we have a meeting tonight to agree which server it will be. This one line in the GOA announcement makes my life somewhat harder.
If the full server list is not available at Head Start, then realistically Head Start servers are going to fill up pretty darned fast, leaving a very real chance that friends without any Head Start access are going to be left to play on other servers, or people that played in Head Start losing all benefit of the extra days play and having to shift server.
I'd appreciate some clarification on which servers will actually be available for Head Start as without that info its very difficult to make an informed decision. For example, is the Core ruleset server list included in its entirety for Head Start and the more 'niche' servers are the ones that won't be fully available, or is it an across-the-board style afair where some servers of each type are not available. In which case, how about letting us know today which servers are going to be available at Head Start please.
My preference of course is for all servers of all types to become available so that population will naturally spread out more evenly rather than being crammed as I forsee a few very cheesed off friends logging into the game on the 18th to find they cannot be with their buddies after many months of coordinating and planning.
If there's been some subsequent clarification that I've missed then apologies for taking up people's time. Any info that makes our meeting tonight easier is appreciated
