Am I missing something?

[WaRBeaST]

What does adding new worlds do for the people already on their current worlds? By tomorrow if they added 10 new worlds, I'm still not gonna be able to log into my "old" world. Nothing was said about transfers to the new worlds to reduce the player base of the current worlds. People are gonna be doing what they did before this, AFKing, Gil Selling, and spamming OK when the World is full message pops.

Am I missing something with the new worlds being added effecting my ability to log in within 10 minutes?

I know. I'm sort of waiting for the big surprise. Thursday morning: 1017.

What happens when interest grows and more people join... Or... The game becomes better. More people join and they fill out capacity. What will happen then? Same problems?

It seems like they missed the boat on load balancing technology.

I've always thought servers were arranged by zones, not world. So technically if they added more servers per zones, this will help the cause. But I may be wrong.

[Myri]

If I'm understanding correctly, they are going to relax the log in caps that are currently in place once the maintenance is completed.

reread the announcement on what their plans are! not only are they adding new servers, they are also optimizing the duty server as well as increasing concurrent user capacity on current worlds. Hopefully it fixes the issues but only time will tell

[Jessikia]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure they mentioned somewhere that they were also expanding on existing servers?

[TouchandFeel]

They have stated that the server work will hopefully fix many, if not all of the current population problems, since most of the population and congestion problems were apparently caused by the Duty Servers which they are expanding.
The expanded/improved Duty Servers and the release of the server locks will hopefully fix a lot of things, however this will not really be known until after the maintenance.
Until we see that the maintenance did actually fix the problems, I feel that the OP's concerns are valid.
