I'm gonna go ahead and put this...here.

I know this is just blowing a lot of air since SE most likely won't read this and, frankly, what the hell do we know about running an MMO?

This is just some quick and dirty tips on some things that might help the server situation, to be implemented within the next 48 hours for the sake of the game we want to love.

This is NOT a place to post complaints; there's a ton of other threads for that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Add a server population doo-hicky to the Lobby. This will go a long way for people to know what server to pick so they can cut down on overwhelming another server.

2. Open up a QUICK & EASY World Transfer process, for free, for the first month or two after launch.

3. Legacy Servers are for Legacy Players. Nothing against those that are non-Legacy, but if they insist on being on the Legacy servers Legacy Players should have log in priority for the foreseeable future. There's a reason we're Legacy because we were loyal to V1 and we came back for ARR; show us our respect.

And now, a shameless plug:
http://arrstatus.com/ is a great website for up-to-the-minute server statuses and even allows you to pull iFrame and HTML embedding for your Linkshell or Free Company website. It's not my website, but uber-cutos to the designer. There's even a Donate button. Use it!
