    When will NA get more shards?

    As of right now there are no shards in any of the Data Centers where anyone can make a new character. What happens when a new player in NA tries to make a character? They're forced to have high ping. EU got new shards. When is NA's turn?

    They can try early morning on a weekday when traffic is the least on the server. Also it will die some once the newness of the expansion wears off.

    So new players have to get up early to make sure they can play the game they just bought? That's ridiculous. There are almost twice the amount of active players per shard in NA verses JP. There should never be a time when a Data Center is completely full and new characters can't be created. One more shard per center would be good and wouldn't spread the player base too thin.

    not the point and such a poor poor excuse of a reason.
    You are failing to see the big picture here, its ONLY EARLY ACCESS -- Expansion hasn't even launched yet. The congestion is going to get worse, and for all those new players not being able to create a character when they sit down to play for the first time. SHOULD NOT have to jump through hoops because SE wants to save some bucks.


    Plain and simple, NA needs a couple more 2-3 not asking for a 2nd datacenter.....

    A brand new player should never be locked out of making a new character. I get restricting current players from making new characters but someone who just bought the game and has no characters should be free to make one and play as soon as they finish their download.

    Perhaps NA will get new worlds, next expac, but seeing as most things tend to die down after a couple of weeks it probably wasn't worth doing it now from a business prospective. It's rather difficult to balance players currently, new worlds would struggle just as much.

    Because the new player is potentially more money, while the old player is already established money. The old player can play their old character(s) as much as they like. A new customer needs to be slightly catered to so that they can even have the chance to "stick". The old player knows if they like the game or not, the new player needs a positive experience to encourage them to stick around.

    You dont think new players are more important than a random alt?

    Crystal data center has a few servers that are not congested yet. Start a new character outside of prime time and you should be fine. SE shouldn't add any servers. Ya see kids when the hype starts to die down a bit people won't login and MAGICALLY you will be able to login to just about every server again! WOW! OMG! LOGICAL THINKING!
