LMAO... Let me get this straight... SE is adding NEW SERVERS instead of increasing the capacity of EXISTING SERVERS? So they're just hoping that new players will be low enough in their progress to just say F*** it? I really don't see that happening(lol). The only reason I can even begin to fathom why they would be executing this horrible plan is because they have no other choice? Technical difficulties? This is going to really hurt this game, a major, major blow to the game.
Well I'll take your word for it, but only because your characters avatar reminds me of Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?
I'm sure this was mentioned somewhere, as I haven't read every post on the subject, but what I think would help this whole new server situation is something like the following:
A new server comes up. It becomes the target transfer world for 3 of the existing worlds. They offer any players on these servers a FREE transfer window of something like two weeks to THAT one particular server. Yes, some people will stay behind, but I'm sure many people will take the opportunity to hop from a full server to a new server if it comes at no cost to them. For those who remember, this was a procedure Blizzard did for vanilla WoW when many of their servers were full at prime time. Maybe they also limit character creation on these new servers for a couple of days to see what the numbers are and take it from there.
