Now I have not played A Realm Reborn yet as a tester and even if I did that is disclosed. I was randomly thinking what if we get locked out of the zone because of to many players/mobs loaded.
Then what do we do to cross over to the next area ? Anima might not be an option ? What if the zone doesn't have another entrance ? If this has already been thought over or implemented in a way that a player won't get locked out of a zone to cross over then you can ignore this thread.
Okay, so if this hasn't been thought over I've thought of a solution pretty simple also.
When a player trys to move into a zone that is full give them a prompt screen that pops up asking " Would you like to move to [ Area exit names that are available] [Yes] or [No] ?
Pretty simple so yea. So If you think it's a good Idea please by all means hit the like button. :D
Totally failed my Thread title lol ment to type "Zone Skip Petition". I was thinking faster then I typed and didn't really proof read.
Zone Lock Petition.

sounds like a solution looking for a non-existent problem

If the given zone is full then we'll simply get put in an overflow server, much like Guild Wars 2 does.

First, we can tell you haven't played ARR since the alpha is not available to us yet for another four days. Second, I'm sure there's a solution in the works in case this stuff happens.

11-25-2012, 02:11 PMZenakuI myself don't see it being much of a issue with dungeon finder people can go to any zone and sit there wont be need for /sh and with a better buy/sell/bid system for the ward i don't see people /sh to sell or get people for event.Quote:

Seeing how we also going to have JP,EU,NA servers and most endgame ls would be going to there server close to them that = less players per world. -

We might as well be talking about what tactic and strategies we should be using in 2.0 for the Martian Pony Invasion raid. -

Aside from a new expansion and everyone going to the same zone at the same time, I think were pretty safe on this. Heck in FFXI their servers supported 800 or so people in the same zone, I think we'll be fine.
