Blightweald EN PvE - here I come
see some of you in-game if you're heading for the same home!
Cloudeborne EN PVP server for me!!! Wihout PvP an MMO is nothing but grind.
Far too many servers, which will cause the invetible problems with guild mates signing up on different servers, server depopulation, expensive transfers leading to people just starting over instead of paying to switch. Maybe there isnt an alternative, but I sure wish theyd find one. Devs need to find a way to make the worlds larger and fit more people on one instance.
Hmmm.....really tempted to go PvE server for once. I'm always rolling PvP server.

With pvp, it's but a grind with griefing and longer downtime

Actually doesn't this help mitigate that problem. By allowing people to see the servers that will be available, upon release, friends & guild members can ensure that they all go to the same server. I hope Guild Wars 2 does the same before it releases.
And if you really want a game with a huge server then there's always Eve Online. ^^
I feel your pain, same issue here...:(
I work Monday through Sunday >_<
Thank god they gave me 3 days off
Now, how I am going to give my wife and my kid at least on day off?????
"you are like the world revenge on sarcasm, you know that?"
One of those great lines from The Secret World
What's a typical max population for a server? 5k players? If so...they are launching with a max capacity of 85k players in the US, and 60k players in Europe...and fully HALF the servers are PvP. I'm sure they have more servers ready to add if necessary, but it seems a little odd. They seem to have relatively small expectations about the number of boxes they are going to sell.
Interesting.
Based on the type of game they created, I would have assumed that they were shooting for a much larger casual mass-market player base at launch (1 million box sales or something). Those server numbers and configs make me think they are instead expecting niche kinds of numbers for box sales (150k?). Curious.
Careful, Germany might try to attack and annex your servers via the Belgian server.
"Gypsies, tramps, and thieves, we were called by the Admin of the site . . . "
You have to remember this isnt launch, its headstart. I think there will be more servers added on the 1st and 4th of march.
I wish they would have included the time zones in which each server is located. I don't seem to ever get a good connection on West Coast servers, despite being centrally located in Texas.
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
Belgian server ? O_o
In WW2 Germany attacked France after mowing through Benelux.

7 EN-Servers, 3 german and 2 french, hmm... this might be funny.
Sunrest is waiting for me tomorrow. I hope Trion enforced RP rulesets. I haven't seen that done since DAOC back in the day...you know at least in naming policy. Hate seeing dwarf characters named Sexyshemale on rp.
Don't worry they have more servers available than they're opening for headstart. I didn't count but for open beta I'd guess there were 10 more US servers alone than what is shown on this list. I know my server Silkweb is missing.. so I have to pick a new home.
It happened so fast they didnt even noticed =P
which servers are you talking about ?
which servers are you talking about ?
Yea one of the managers in podcast said they were projecting 47 servers at release, Im sure they will bring them up as needed.
Im sure Friday night will be when the insanity breaks loose, most people I know wont be playing until then.
I'll be there.First decent game in years.open,open,open.
Looks like they added extra French and German servers:
We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our French and German communities for rallying support for RIFT, and getting huge numbers of their friends registered with the game in the last day!
We’re happy to announce the following two new HEAD START servers!
