Seeing that there are at times 55+ minutes waiting times to join your server when it's full... would it not be a good idea to stop people from allowing to make their first characters on those servers ?

I mean, I know I can always start over on another server that doesn't have any waiting times, but then the headstart benifits are kinda shot... unless they allow us to transfer our characters to a different server.

A 1 hour waiting period.... this freaking feels like a visit to the emergency room :(

I know what you're saying, but it actually gives out a poor message to new players

"Hi guys, play warhammer where you can be Evil or Good....but the evil side is full at the moment".

aye is annoying having the 1 hour queue atm, whats even more annoying though is when you've been kicked to desktop or crashed because of alt + tabbing you don't have a "grace period" where you can log back in instantly you must rejoin the queue.

Can only hope the caps are increased on servers soon

they need to give CE queue priority!
the ingame heads are cack. (no wonder they didnt post pics of them, orc gets an eye patch added! pure genius it really makes the orc head stand out from the crowd....)
the quest items and titles atleast for greenskin are cack.
the headstart was cack 12hours or so.... americans got 2 days..
the boxed stuff was quality atleast good.

then again we can always buy red alert 3 to get someone that makes you stand out in the game unlike the CE stuff :lol:

maybe we can buy the next 50 sims expansions and get awesome stuff with those aswell

Ive not played today or yesterday besides helping a freind out for 30 mins the waiting times are just silly.
i just wish they would announce if they have opened the servers up fully or its still to come , as if its done ill shelf game untill i can play , as life is too short to be sitting looking at screen for hours on end waiting to log on :p

I think waiting times are important as it ensures servers are reasonbly balanced if everyone on destruction could log in at the same time it would unbalance the order and effectivly order would be rolled non stop with no way of competing.

Roll order less waiting times then.

its not a case of the servers being ballenced its a case that they didnt learn from WoW's mistakes. they added a code that stops people making chars on high/full servers if they dont already have a char. as there are alot of people who think the game is only worth playing if they have loaded of other people on the server so you find the high pop servers will increase in population quicker than the low pop servers.

as said above this wouldnt be so bad if they offerd a way so people could move out to new servers without having to start over but to behonest the ques were a joke during the head start and now its just rediculous. I didnt get on thursday as every time I checked the pue was over 300 people. yet the server I play on is one of the last servers to be added during the HS event and to be honest restarting over and over again to move to a lower pop server due to people keep piling on the high/full pop servers isnt realy an option as you can only do the missions so amny times before you get bored.

Server transfers would be handy for a small time period.
and something to convince players to join lower pop servers/sides.

Mythic talked so much about population control/balancing. Yet seem to have very little impact on it.
