dont listen to him, all he ever does is insult people.
I think the point of people saying that there is 1 server is referring to the fact that everyone, when logged in, is in the same world. There is no server list to choose from (unless you count the Asian server). You will always be in the same world aka server as everyone else. We all know how smart you are when you point out that there is a difference between servers and server clusters.
I reinstalled beta yesterday, just to see how the game was coming along. I left in disgust a few months ago, but hey, things can change.
My girlfriend wondered what piece of junk I had found when I started it up.
Ten minutes later, I turned it off again with a smile. Its amazing what some people call "quality".
So... Now, I have done betas before. This and Shadowbane are the only ones I have so far,not followed to the end, because both were below the lowest I can stand in a game (and I still play my games from the 90s, so its hardly about "New smell") 90% of the fan base here, that scream how great this game is... Will disappear the same exact day you need to pay for DnL. Quietly sneaking away to the next beta, the next free trip, and defend that no matter how bad it is. They are in all betas, everywhere, and no matter how wrong a game is, they will support it because it is.. FREE.
Left... will be the few hardcore followers.. wondering where all the people went that supported the game so hard while beta.... and soon wondering if something was wrong.
This crowd, the free game crowd.. is what kills most semiquality MMOs.. because unfortunatly, developers listen to them, and think its all ok.
But hey, if you liked Shadowbane first 3 months, then you will have no problem with this one! I promise.

the point is that this is the first game that allows all people to play together in the same world.
Imagine 50 000 people rushing the same newbie zone... if their "server cluster" can handle it, great, what about everyone elses machines.?

Other than Eve of course (which hasn't proven itself capabable of having over a hundred ships in a given area and running stably)
And any other MMO that isn't big enough to even have more than 3000 players on at a time (more by chance than design)
And Anarchy Online also planned to have the one server concept but that failed miserably on so many levels and thus the two present American servers.
I look forward to the day we can have as many players in the world and in a given area at any point in time without fear of the server choking. Video lag I can deal with much more than server lag because I feel server stability is more a burden than video stability for MMO Devs.

Idiots? I know your talking about dark and light, but you recently posted for Age of Conan, "Why is charging you a monthly fee to play a single player game a "revolution"? I give it a 1 until someone convinces me otherwise." Well let me explain something to you, you don't pay for the single player portion of the game. You play single player until a certain level, which is 20, then you go onto the multiplayer if you wish to do so, then you will start paying a monthly fee. So you sir, Are the idiot. Get your facts straight before you post. You seem like a real stuck up jerk from all your other post. Seems you don't know much.
