    That's a surprisingly small number of starter servers. Companies normally do a lot of research to get a base line number of servers that they expect to open with launch, they then slowly add to it as required. If this is their base line, research is pointing to a small player base.

     

    Unless it's going to be a marketing ploy, "Had to open 15 news servers in the first week! Wow, we're popular!"

    Why would you think this game is going to draw so many.They already have an idea based on the number of people who used the code. Why should they put a tonne of servers only to merge them later. Very smart and down to earth developers.

     

    Why,does it give people less ammunition to criticize the game and laugh at them later for having to merge servers. Seriously they are not making big plans this will be a small game filled with niche players. As long as they make money they should do well. I know it is disappointing for those who would like to later point out their failings but Carbine knows their audience and size of it .They have done the research work. I know people refused to play because of the graphics this is Carbine being smart.

    Agree

    Rift was destroyed by the huge amount of servers in launch. WS Devs stated many times that their servers are way bigger than in any other mmo. So the best to do is adding servers one by one when needed.

    11 NA servers

    11 EU servers

    And they have a larger capacity than most other MMORPGs

     

    That is actually a rather large list for a brand new IP.
