Primal Data Center

[Zeronic]

Not only in the primal server I am afraid. Im on Odin, which is not from that data center as far as I know. Been getting it for 3 days now. In CT, just walking around in Uldah. Everywhere!

7 months later, this still holds water. Well, at least for primal data center.

It's not just excalibur. Hyperion is overflowing with players too. They put the most populated servers in the same data center.

Just another Monday on Primal

Why would you ever think this is a good idea SE?

Yeah because SE looked into their crystal ball and knew what servers would be most populated before the game was even out.

They didn't arrange the servers into data centers until at least a few months after release(I took a break from Oct - Feb so I'm not sure on the exact length of time). So, they had a pretty good idea of how populated servers were.

Confirming bullshit on this problem being fixed, as it happened clearly at least 4 times last night, one of which cost my raid group coil drops, this needs to be fixed.

Actually there was a sign up sheet on the internet and we all picked where we wanted to go. SO they kinda did know in advance how many would be on each server. Servers were so locked by just legacy that many of our new friends couldn't even get on at start. SO I think they knew.

First thing I saw when I logged in.



Everything is ok.

Sandboxing servers doesn't fix the problem it only puts it in a smaller place. Same issues just a smaller box to have them in. I would have assumed that with this they would also increase server capacity. I think I heard they did but cannot find a link to confirm. If not that is a problem onto itself. Without sandboxing more servers would see the same fate as primal. I truly hope they do one big thing to fix this problem Spend some more money on capacity because it is not working right now.

You want to know silly?

Last night queued up in DF for a WP run to cap tomes. All languages selected, in progress selected, ONLY WP selected, and seeking on WHM.

I think I waited maybe 5 min and I get a in progress run. These are hit or miss lately. Missing DPS, or missing tanks. So sitting on the black loading screen I'm going "Please say Light Party, Please say Light Party." There was nothing. Then when the game loaded I was in WP... ALONE. No one else. Zone looked as if nothing was pulled (the group of kneeling monks or whatever just outside the entrance were there).

Welcome to the Twilight Zone.
