Servers Locked Again..!!

[Sonicrich05]

If they are going to permentantly lock servers, they NEED to let us transfer 1.0 characters off legacy servers. Not being able to play with my friends that are new is going to kill this game for me. Also, it should be FREE for us to do so. This is redicolous. My cousin has been trying to get on hyperion for like 14 hours.

If they are going to lock servers, they need to give everyone free transfers period. Whole gaming communities that planned to play together are not able to do so because of these problems.

Let's say you are SE: your servers have capacity limits. When they are reached, you have no choice but to "lock" the server so people already playing are not affected by the hoards of new players trying to get in. You understand that some of those new players could very well be trying to join their friends already in, but you have no choice.

Allow all players to freely move to a different server sounds nice until you realize it doesn't solve anything: people will move around until, inevitably, some servers become packed again and people are left unable to reunite with their friends. You and your 20 friends can keep trying to jump around until perhaps you are all able to get on a single server. Except you have a few thousand others doing the same thing with their friends so either way someone will always be left out.

The only solution to this is time for server populations to stabilize, but you guys all want your game now so Yoshi-P can't do nothing but chain smoke.

Or maybe they could use the que system which they already have in place for some reason. Why is there a que system if they said they have locked the servers to prevent performance problems? I am willing to wait in a que if it means all my friends can play with me. Seriously what is SE thinking? They are just starting to show the same characteristics that led them to disaster at 1.0 launch. It always feels like the person making all the decisions is an outside person that has zero experience with video games.

Seriously, the level of fanboyism is worse than the Blizz forums.

Sorry wanted to reply sooner but buggy forum didn't want to let me.

A queue system would only work if everyone who wants to play already have a character on the server. Queues serve to streamline traffic, but it doesn't do anything to reduce them. If you allow new players (friends and family trying to join you) to add to that queue freely, you will soon end up with a Disneyland-style queue where at any given point half of the population is basically waiting for others to finish playing. So ultimately you still have the exact same problem: you and your friends can't play together.

A server that is full is full. If I was SE I would open more servers AND allow every existing player to do a free but optional one-time transfer to one of these new worlds, so those who wish to move in hope of reuniting with their friends/family can do so.

Except they have this wonderful thing in MMO architecture (and even this one) called queueing. They should use it. Apparently Behemoth is 'full', yet I only have a 25 person queue to get on there.
