What tipped you off to it being fake? was it how the starting number was different every time you watched? o.O

Well I let it run and the time kept going up. to over a couple thousand, this morning, (i let it run all night) it was at several hundred thousand minutes in queue.

Once it reaches the end, it moves you further back in the line while adding the time.

I have my (so far level 16) main character on Hellscream and my Alliance characters on Doomhammer.

They're both high-population servers, and I've only encountered queues twice. The first was 8 minutes, the second one was a minute.

The game is damned fun. I'm having mroe fun playing solo than I did with my guild in SWG. I've played in good groups before during Open beta, and they're a blast.

And for some reason I find mining to be fun. :D

Me and one of my Ultima Online buddies have migrated to the Cenarion Circle server, Pacific timezone. Have a level 10 human paladin named Grimbald. My old UO name was Grimbold, but that was taken, and since I had made the guy bald...

Anyway, I like my server. Shows as "low" population on the server list, but still plenty of people around, RP ruleset, folks seem nice so far.

EDIT: Just pick a low-pop server and you'll never see a queue ever. I haven't.

EDIT #2: Yes, the game rocks.

Who here is opposed to setting up on a new server and starting an all SDNet guild? If you are for it, speaken Sie up.



Oh. and we must be horde. All of us. you...and you....and...Yes, weeman, you as well. Shh! no more now. We are horde. That's it.

HEY! YOU WATCH YOUR MOUTH, MISTER! You-HEy! I heard that! Don't think I didn't hear that! You just bought yourself another detention, Buddy. you wanna try for some more? Huh?

I'd only consider creating a non Hellscream/Doomhammer character if it were Alliance. I already have enough Horde characters that I want, but I've considered making a Dwarf so that's who I'd use on a new server if more than 4-8 SD.net people are on it.

I don't know if my school network will let it run, that's what's preventing me from buying it and the amount of money needed to play it.

That fucking tears it. I'm not touching this game again until they address the goddamned lag issue. I literally could take no actions last night for a full 10 minutes. There were no NPCs, no players nothing, showing up except for me. and a webwood lurker was beating on me the whole time. (An invisible one. I got battlespam the whole time. I ran from dolnaar to darnassus getting battlespam the whole time. then when the server finally caught up *poof* dead. Fuck you blizzard.

lol. damn. but you gotta cut them some slack, every major mmo i know of has had a shaky launch, but WoW was orders of magnitudes greater than SW:G. Where you couldn't actually make your account on the first day without some major luck.

I wouldn't be opposed to making a sdnet guild, but I'm already to far along to just make a new a character unless I'm able to transfer my character to a new server.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to assign a low-population server (Azjol-Nerub, for example) for anyone who wants to create a new character for the purpose of an SD.net guild, even if it's a ways down the road and you say 'well, I've got a lvl 60 character and I feel like starting a new character'.

I'm still voting for Alliance, though. I'd pick a Dwarven Rogue most likely.

EDIT: I guess I could create a Tauren Druid, though.

I'm already rather settled on Cenarion Circle, and I'm way too lazy to work two characters. What type of server you guys playing? Normal, RP, PvP?

*Bump*
I know this is bordering on thread necromancy, but I just bought the game, and I am fucking addicted. :twisted: I haven't experienced ANY problems with my server so far, lag is extremely low, very helpful senior players, and so forth. I say we take a vote on which server to place our SDN guild (preferably a low tomedium populated one.) Normal and RP are fine with me. Can't stand PvP at low levels, though. I keep getting owned by a band of level 40 assholes the second I spawn. :x
