To check out the fun again, had a best buy giftcard that I wasn't using on anything so figured why not get a 2 month WAR subscription.
What are the populated servers these days?
Comments
Only experience I have is on Volkmar and its pretty active.
how is it?any fun?
iron rock is very active on both side
Phoenix Throne is also very active, pretty much in every tier.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
I heard Skull Throne still rocks. Just roll on a few of them, check it out.
"TO MICHAEL!"
Yea, Iron Rock is very active. I don't know, feel like getting less people on the Order side this past week (or Destro came back from their Order alt?).
Have they corrected the lag issue in major keep rvr battles?

Depends on how many players on both realm, I guess.
But fort with limited players (cap) still have about a second delay (few days ago).
It is much better as compare to 1.2 (or earlier), but I don't see much changed as compare to release (a year ago).
volkmar - order heavy
dark crag - rvr server
skull throne
iron rock
these are the most populated severs imo
Active numbers on Iron Rock:

I'd consider coming back if they have come up with a solution for faction balance. I really wanted to play destruction, but forced myself to play Order due to the over population of Destruction.
Any plans for changes to be seen?

Haha, no.
The two lead guys from WAR/Mythic were on G4 talking the new content and how their largest battle had 450 players . . . is 450 really that much?

That's a completely insane number, yes. Whether the participants found it fun is another story.
450? wow...bet that was fun LOL
Last time I played I got in a 2 wb v 2 wb keep siege, outside on my way to the keep I had a steady 60 - 70 fps, once I got in sight of 2 wbs I droped to about 30-45, and once the 2 collided in the lord room I droped to under 10, I changed settings to max performance, and was unable to tell a difference till after the fight is over.
Their engine is simply not optimized / designed for the type of numbers they get.
Hmm maybe for WAR but coming from the makers of Daoc I can't say that number is really amazingly surprising.
I guess. It's just that I'm used to playing WoW where the server would break down when there were like 50 people fighting in Southshore vs Tarren Mill. So for a WoW player like me me 450 is utterly insane. I would probably go do scenarios or move to some other zone in a fight like that, though, as I don't enjoy playing with a framerate of 8.
450 isn't a lot, and in my experience, there is 1 second cast delay in a 200 vs 200 fortress fight (not including client side).
On my server, there are about 1000 active, and let say half of them on each side, 500 vs 500, where 450 would be far from there.
And honestly, people would rather Mythic fixes some of the beta bugs, then release new contents. I am still waiting for them to fix couple of bugs on my skill tree.
