Server Queues OMG WHAT!

I think its hilarious that an awful lot of people complaining about the lines to get in are probably MMO converts from WoW that never waited the 5 hours simply to log onto a high pop server in the first few days of WoW.
I remember one day waiting in line for 8, yes count them 8 hours to log into Illidan.

This is a little bit worrying since only the pre-ordered members are on the game at the moment, tomorrow on the 18th when it offically comes out...isn't there going to be massive problems?
what wories me that my server isnt full. that cap is set on retardedly low pop..
that you need to spamm chat to even do pqs.. oh.. destro is capped on my server.. jus that order is medium/high.. even if it highs pop is capped max on 1k players.. make that 700 dest.. 300 order split across multiple zone= failure..
i could live with deserted game at beta.. but having this on launch is just makes me think ,was buying warhammer good thing.. or another mistake ..
Isn't it the case that each side has their own cap? So that until Order reaches theirs, Destruction's cap won't be raised. Fingers crossed 18th brings a flood of Order to existing servers while Destruction look to the ones with short queue times (on second thoughts maybe keep everything crossed).
Hmm...
What's happening if I should get the odd DC? Am I getting to the back of the line, having to wait the for the entire queue again?

Playing: Everthing
Played: DAoC,AC2,EvE,SWG,WAR,MXO,CoX,EQ2,L2,LOTRO,SB,UO,WoW.
I have played every MMO that has ever come out.
omfg, he waited 8 hours to get into a game. If i ever bought a game that required me to wait that long to get into a server, i'd trash it - never gonna be that desperate to wait to play a game i already paid for.
To Crybabies: Uhm...if a game pisses you off, don't play it - duh.

Goa set the server cap at 500 per side which is ridiculous by todays standards, although they said they would increase it. Surely they can afford some decent servers with EA backing.
Not if you want to avoid lag L A G....
AoC created instances to avoid the lag. Apparently WAR can't be played by a 3000 people server, because of the lag.
Happy PvPing with the same few hundred people.
How epic.
--------
Real PvP?--> Ice blocking a charging warrior, give him the finger and mount. ---> Or mind control that annoying healer and let him jump to his own death. Now, that's PvP with intelligence.
Every WAR copy sold is free publicity for WotLK.
4 servers are completely full. I havent counted the exact number of servers but 4 out of all of them is a low %. Yes, each side (order and destruction) have there own cap so things like 700destro to 300 order doesnt happen. If you dont want to chance queue's pick a LOW POPULATED server. If you pick a high populated server thats your fault, not mythics or GOA's.

Hehe your funny. Lets look at what your talking about here. Trashing war, talking about WOTLK. Last time I checked WoW's PvP was so pathetic they had to add battlegroups so people doing BG's didnt have to wait hours and hours inbetween. WoW's world PvP is pathetic and non existant. WOTLK will be no diffrent. One open world zone that isnt even that big.
Not everyone that buys WAR will like it no doubt. But to think its "free publicity" for WOTLK is a joke. I was in beta for WOTLK and played it up untill the head start for WAR. I have since cancled my pre-order to WOTLK as I dont feel like doing the same thing again in WOTLK that I did in old-WoW and TBC. Sure some of the mounted combat in WOTLK is nice, but not worth the box price for.

um sure.. with the fact that they let 10 ppl in starting zone.. and another fact that im 11 lvl.. 13-15 by tonight..
i dont see how 100-200 lvl 1 players flooding my realm will make game any more fun..
this is just sad.. how low server caps are..
when wow released it had 5k player cap.. that was 4-5 years ago.. i cant even recall now.. in that time it was upgraded.. no idea how much it can hold now.. but the fact that server in 2008 can hold such low ammount of players is just .....
saying bullshit about " overpopulated " starting zone is just pure bullshit..
when i joined my realm it was marked as high for order.. starting zone 5-10 players.. overpopulated i see is 50 players killing same 30 mobs.. not 3-5 players doing that..
overpopulated i see is 30 players doing pq.. when 20-24 is the cap..
but having 3-5 doing pqs in starting zones.. and less and less more you move in is just boring..
maybe empire lands are bit more populated.. as so far im disapointed
its like in that review.. war is great.. but utter failure without players.. knowing that servers run nearly .. and some on complete max capacity.. and server is medium/full . i would imagine that there should be 3-4k players .. give or take thats 2-3k dest.. having another 1.5k~ order is more than enough to make game fun.. now its like 50 players per huge zone.. 100-150 in high elf.. around same in dwarfs empire.. and we wont make 500 players..
This seems like a pretty good idea.
I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention.
"You have the right not to be killed"
Has anyone considered that the game hasn't gone live yet, and maybe they're set the caps artificially low to spread out the population?
Just a thought
Nods, cap is 2500 or was during beta anyway.

It shows to play >PvP in Wow you need intelligence. Crowd control and have FUN with your avatar.
To play PvP in WAR you just bang on heads with the two braincells you have.
This WAR game will become so bored within 3 weeks, you'll be glad to crawl back to WOtLK.

with the official release there will be more servers. read past posts on the site.
Nope, GOA director said cap was set at 500 per side, so 1k overall although he said they were planning on increasing it eventually. I would find the link but I'm too lazy.

I think there are actually two versions of WAR: There's the one that people are having a good time with, and there's another that's run by GOA.
I've no idea about the GOA version, but the US had caps of 2500 during beta, as Solude said.
I call BS on this. you can't iceblock and then mount, you'll still be in combat and thus unable to mount.
and you can't mind control annoying healers, the only people with mind control are HEALERS! and we don't find each other annoying.
you sir don't even know the game you are fanboing for very well. I'll take my Archmage over my priest or druid anyday.

I'm a wow fanboy, and even I laughed at how silly his post was. Everyone knows if you MC a healer, the first thing you do is dot everyone around you, then you heal your own team and burn the other guy out of mana. Hunters are the only class I make jump off a cliff, the rest have too many quick uses.
