And the moral of this topic is; Dont roll on an underpopulated server especialy in a PVP game, kids.
rofl so true gotta join the ones that are med to full baby. slowly when more people start playin more servers will fill up jsut dont pick a low pop right off the bat. ever. no matter what game your playing.
It's safe to say from the number of underpopulated realms that the public has judged the game and found it lacking. WAR tried to walk the line between being similar enough to WoW to cut into its market and being different enough from WoW to give people a reason for playing. In too many ways, WAR is the inferior product to WoW. Two faction RvR games are just icky too.

2 faction RVR games are icky. Huh, last time I checked WOW was 2 factions. #1 selling mmo as well. The public has judged? Oh you mean angry forum people, yeah cause they speak for everyone (Most people that like the game stay away from the forum cause of crap people say). Inferior......hmmmm intersting statement to a game JUST RELEASED.
And if you're one of those folks who thinks that SWG was one of the best MMO's pre-cu then you're even more of an idiot.
Hey, thanks for the personal insult. Nice to know you're not a keyboard warrior (seriously... grow up).
And yeah, you're right. MMORPG's that have too much freedom of choice, huge open virtual worlds and mature communities are BAD. Damn you Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies (pre-CU).
I bet you love pop-music. It's shallow crap - but who cares? It's what the crowd (moo) is into. Yay! Now you fit in. You've finally made it son.
MMORPG's are DEAD.
I miss the good ol' days when nerds were actually intelligent.
Mark Jacobs got mythic to where they are today, there is no way they are going to fire him, just because you dont like the game LOL.
Mark Jacobs is a corporate TOOL that bragged about having "bags of money thrown" at him. EA are the ones that dictated to him how this game was to be made. It is a dumbed down version of DAoC designed to appeal to the WoW crowd. He did not sit down and say "I'm going to create the game I've always wanted." He created a game that his corporate masters TOLD him to create. Some of you kids are very naive.
I miss the good ol' days when nerds were actually intelligent.
I waited a long time for W.A.R to come out. I thought that the open beta show promise, but was a little perplexed with missing four classes (two of which I was really looking forward to) and the utter lack of trade skills- not to mention how they worked. Granted, I bitched about WoW's trade skills- until I played LOTRO- and the way the skills work in W.A.R. I have become a fan of the WoW trade skills again. *sigh*
I was also looking forward to no having to grind. I figured that between PVE, PQs, and RvR, I would have to do little to no grinding. That would be true, if I could ever get into an RvR scenario. I have seen the tier 2 scenario three times since I became level 21, and my tier three guildees have never seen the tier three scenario- even after 30 hours of waiting in queues. After completing upto chap 10 in Chaos, I have also done chap 8-10 in Greenskins, and 8-10 in Dark Elves, and I am STILL level 21. After quitting LOTRO because I spent most of that game farming Yetis for the bonus, I find myself in WAR, once again, farming fucking Yetis because the kill collector gives experience for them
The result of all this is that my already low population server, KIslev, is getting lower. The Guild Master of my guild cleaned out 60 players who had not logged on in over two weeks, which is pretty sad for a game that has been around for only three weeks. I believe we will be clearing out more as there are about 50 people who have not logged on in the past week. People are fleeing this game left and right, which cuts down on the available RvR, which destroys the point, and fun, of the game. When I called customer service to see if I could transfer my toons to a higher population server, I was told that "Was not possible" and that they were "looking for ways to remedy the situation".
I have a remedy: fire Mark Jacobs.
That's right. Fire the incompetent general manager and vice president of Mythic Entertainment who allowed the release an unfinished game, late, with serious flaws and irritating features (20 second send mail delay?) I'm sure that the shareholders have noticed the 30% DROP in stock value since the release of W.A.R. and the fact that the servers are laggy, even with low population, is unacceptable. The higher population servers have a too low of a cap- so the only people who can play are those who don't have school or a job.
Contact EA. Tell them what is going on, and demand accountability. Hold the man who was responsible for this utter debacle accountable and fire Mark Jacobs.
Lets see where have i seen this type of post before......thats right Age of Conan forums.
Well my gaming experience is just ruined with a 20 second delay in mail being sent.

Your ignorant arrogance and megalomania is frightening.
Are you working in a creative field as a creative manager of anything costing a lot of other peoples' money? I am and I believe I can pretty much understand where MBJ stands with his product. In addition I really don't think you ever gave the game a speck of a chance even if you ever did play it which I sincerely doubt. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about whatsoever which doesn't preclude you from insulting other people who are much more knowledegeable and experienced than you are as if it were your god given right. You disgust me.

You took the words right out of my mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OP you hit right on the money. If you look at the server pops they are all medium to low except like 2- 3 servers that have high high. No ones playing this game anymore FANBOIS they might aswell merge servers and raise the pop cap because WOTLK is going to take everyone who is just right now playing to play somthing.

Yeah????
Last weekend at the prime time there were 5 servers that were Low/Low. Everything else was Med/Med or higher.
Got to love people that don't know what they are talking about.
Your attitude screams elitest "hardcore" mmo fan. You're one of those people who have an excessive amount of free time to grind away at MMO's that are more "hardcore" (meaning time consuming), and feel that that makes you somehow better than everyone else.
I'm sorry that you don't have real world responsibilities, or more honestly I'm sorry that your life doesn't add up to more than a video game, but most of us DO have better things we can be doing.
So go ahead and flame me or write your bullshit condescending 3 word replies like the one above, but just know that people can like other things. I'm sure SWG was awesome (I never got around to trying it pre-cu), and I'll never speak an ill word towards it, but you need to relax.
The sleeper awakes...and rides his dirtbike to the mall.
I can que up for my server in less than 30 seconds. Dark Crag, level 23 engineer. But this is besides the point. You apparently think MMORPG's should grant you a no grind game, which will never happen. RPG's that are level based atleast will have to have some grind to them. Do you just expect to be granted levels because you look cool? Or because you did some special emote? If you don't want a grind game, dont play rpgs. I bet you can't name one MMORPG that doesn't have grind. If you can, i will download it and prove you wrong.

do you even know how to read? i said all the rest were medium to low meaning some were medium and some were low. hence med to low. And if you play on a server that is med and or low you will be in a scenerio queue for a long ass time seeing as im always in one for a long ass time before i actually get into a game.
so i love it when people try to rebuttle thinking they know what they are talking about
I think fire Mark Jacobs is a little harsh. But I do wonder why he is starting to lie. All you have to so is search and watch the Videos. He said in the VN boards you can just to quests and never touch RVR and PQ's to get to 40. Now with this new patch some higher quests where people ARE hitting a wall and have to GRIND to level which MJ still says is NOT there. Yet now you can do some of those quest over and over and over.. BOY wont that be fun. man I cant wait.
Queues on my realm are 5 minutes or less except really late at night. Generally any Scenario pops, but in t3, Tor anroc pops the most since order does have the huge knockback advantage.
Needless to say, I got to 29 from pqs/scenarios/quests before I started falling behind the level of mobs by 3 or so. But, I did a ton RvR, and less group PQs since I am a slow leveler, and friends/guildys passed me.
People will sure whine if everything isnt exactly the way they want it all the time. Let me know if you find a game that is perfect, Id like to know!

Kinda funny. Thats a large majority were Medium to high. There were 8 servers that were High/High which was Sunday which saw the highest time. I didn't count any that were Medium/High or High/ Medium. I know there was medium/medium but the way you make it sound the servers are dead which its FAR FAR from it.

Your post holds no merit. Move along.

They should merge ALL the servers into one, then the population issue would end

Those 60 players that left your guild were smart and rerolled on a high population server.
I don't even play the game yet and I know to roll on the highest pop server this game has once my blackguard is released.
Playing: Nothing
Looking forward to: Nothing
