PVP Server Population Problems

[Jeniwyn]

Queues are beyond horrible. Unless they allow botting or at the very least accountsharing.

never log off if there's a queue. problem solved.

A lot of people are carrying over their blizz-like culture of complaining. It really doesn't belong here man. This is the best vanilla server around, and it's completely free. Even the GMs respond 50 times faster than on retail. How anyone can feel entitled to complain blows my mind.

[xeslaro]

.. feel entitled ..

that pretty much sums it up.

On this server, there is no place on azeroth anymore, where you are alone, getting in trouble cause the scourge is overwhelming you.

you are playing the wrong genre if you want to be alone

[Robotron]

.. feel entitled ..

that pretty much sums it up.

I just want a stable server where everyone speaks its one and only official language to at least a passable level.

Yup, need another PvP server. Been saying it for a while now and unfortunately the problem keeps getting worse.

We hit almost 12k peak the other day.

Almost a month ago, we hit 10.4k at peak.

This is all without much new content. ZG is great and added players, but it's starting to stop giving the new feeling and people are still joining. Also, I can only imagine we see a bigger increase of players when AQ and the gates are opening, and also, Naxx.

At this rate, if it's 1000 a month, we'll be seeing 20k players peak by Naxx. And that's not even counting the crazy amount of people coming back to play to complete AQ/Naxx, new players coming in from word of mouth of the new raids releasing, etc.

I'd like to hear a official statement from the team. Are they thinking about another server to handle this problem? Or do they think different about this? I think there is not much time left until the PvP realm bends under its population. As for sunday, there were about 12500 players online on peak time. The game was unplayable, either of lag issues or farming issues.
A high populated server is fun, but this is way to much.

You are entitled to nothing, you play for free here, on someone else's project. There have been threads and post from the admins stating they are working on patch fixes and code optimization, and it has been getting better week by week. You dont need to see any official statement here, there has been countless threads whining about this same thing already, the devs can see them.

Also, your suggestion of "just create new server, ezpz" has been suggested multiple times. You need to understand the procress and work behind that, a new dedicated server wont just hop into their laps. They would need a lot more money for another server, new staff to take care of that server, and more time to split between coding and fiixing bugs on THREE servers. Its not that simple, don't ask for things because your entitled ass thinks that they are easy to do when they are not.

[Kezzik]

come back to me when Naxx comes out and the server is reaching 20,000 and we'll talk about if I'm really an "entitled ass"

hate to break it to you, but it's very likely to happen

also I am not "demanding" anything, what they do is what they do, I'm just saying it's a problem

My friend, I would like a whole planet like that, but that would require us to nuke every where except North America. Sigh ... when I'm Emperor of Earth that dream will come to pass.
