[Dev1000] Phoenix Population!

[Dooom]

Oh no, 5000 people in an MMO?

Considering that we were already a busy server with a decent amount of competition with half of that number, people being frustrated is to be expected, and understandable.

[Aquilees]

The bigger problem is the server is not handling all the extra people. Busy camp areas can be handled in other ways. But how come nobody asks the obvious questions though. How can you do anything when you constantly get stuck at blacked out loading screens because the server cant handle the load? Will this be a common thing on Friday and Saturday nights? What do you plan to do in dealing with this Square Enix?

It's a mess isn't it Aquilees! The lag is horrible, even SE knows that it's pretty bad when they have to send out System Messages asking people to learn a certain zone. We can only hope that SE will fix this somehow.

It's not that 5000 people is a problem, it's that 90% of that 5000 people are currently at the level cap doing endgame activities. Which are crowded.

Sylph has on average 1800 to 2200 when I'm on playing. I wouldn't mind the extra population though. I could get more things done if there were more free hands out and about.

Asura currently has 3646 people online in all areas.

I think you guys will survive.

Midnight EST: 3860 online on phoenix.

2876 on Leviathan just a half-hour afterward. I'd say that's kind of the idea of the merges.

We had the same problem when Seraph moved to Bismarck. So many people were logged out in Whitegate that when the servers came back on, a lot of people couldn't log back in and people were being kicked/timed out.

It should eventually calm down some. Best of luck with getting things sorted and figured out with the new server. :<
