i think we should post more server posts lol. think we are up to 3 now.

[Drakhon]

So:
Phoenix Throne
Skavenblight
Avelorn

Interestingly, there are 3 RP/Open RvR servers as well, which they had not decided on having the last time they talked about it.

[Slaight]

Phoenix Throne Roleplay
Skavenblight Roleplay
Avelorn Roleplay

Those would be the ones we have to pick from.

[Monstein]

i think we should post more server posts lol. think we are up to 3 now.

LoL, yeah we all posted at the same time lol.

[Deliviss]

i think we should post more server posts lol. think we are up to 3 now.

I vote this one be the official one! It is currently winning in posts..:)

[Boltinheigmer]

sorry for my slacking and putting the actual list. I had to go throw the link up on a couple other forums too.

[Drakhon]

For people who are interested:

Phoenix Throne - Throne of the High Elves. Believed by the Dark Elves to belong to the Witch King Malekith due to his hereditary claim. The entire purpose of the Dark Elf invasion is to claim this throne.
Skavenblight - Capital city of the Skaven Empire. Skaven are essentially highly evolved rats commonly referred to as "ratmen" and followers of the Horned Rat, generally believed to be a combined aspect of the Chaos Gods (though the Skaven don't know/think that).
Avelorn: A kingdom of Ulthuan made up of a massive forest, home of the High Elves' Everqueen. It's one of the zones in the Elf pairing in WAR (Tier 3, zone 1).

[Monstein]

Skavenblight - Capital city of the Skaven Empire. Skaven are essentially highly evolved rats commonly referred to as "ratmen".


My Vote.

[Gisli]

If any more pop up, I'll try to merge them in here.

I deleted the premature poll for server. I don't want this turning into chaos (no pun intended).

I'm concerned about this server list. Notice that there is a series of names/types and then a repeated series of the types again. That is, Phoenix Throne comes in the first cycle then Skavenblight and Avelorn comes in the second cycle. What does this mean? It could mean that the first group is up initially, and then the others are added as things fill. I wish we knew more. Perhaps this will get clarified.

[nativeson]

RP/open RvR now that is an interesting mix.

It looks like were not even going down that path, but I guess my biggest concern with any Open RVR server would be will Mythic abandon those servers the same way they did with Mordred on DAOC.

Since its a launch option, maybe some extra attention will be given, and new content created will be written also with PVP in mind. And it may even be that this Open style, while still having the oposing realms in play will not cause all the bugs which occured with Mordred, but after spending most my days on Mordred, I can safely say I have second thoughts about ever rolling PVP server again with Mythic.

[Boltinheigmer]

"Servers, servers - get'ya servers! Below you will find the server names we anticipate being available at Launch. These will begin going live Sunday, September 14th with the Collector’s Edition Head Start and will continue to roll out leading up to Launch on September 18th."

From that statement I believe all the servers listed will be live sunday morning. The roll out servers they add I don't think they'd include in this list to avoid confusion.

My 2 cents

[Isak]

Servers, servers - get'ya servers! Below you will find the server names we anticipate being available at Launch. These will begin going live Sunday, September 14th with the Collector’s Edition Head Start and will continue to roll out leading up to Launch on September 18th.


Sounds like part of the list will be up on the 14th, and they will role out the entire list between the 14th and 18th. So even if we decide on a server, that server could end up being turned on sometime between the 14th and launch.

[Boltinheigmer]

LoL we read it differently. :lol:

[Aoann]

from the vn's
Phoenix Throne, Core-RP for us Order folks from Guin/Hib, well for us anyway.

[Gisli]

First, open-RvR is NOT FFA like Mordred. It merely means that your flag is on most of the time.

When we did our discussions and voting before, we did consider the issue of Core/RP vs. openRvR/RP. The clear consensus was Core/RP. I'm sure there will be a few people who will go play open RvR/RP. But "the community" is going to Core/RP, if anyone is wondering. This is a settled issue.

I'm concerned that the Core/RP servers might get overloaded. It depends of course on (1) how many people want to play RP, and (2) how many of THEM want to do open RvR. I think the Only-WAR community had a real issue with not being able to do open-RvR/RP according to Mythic's original annoucements. The might go that route, but I don't know.

But note that the Core vs. Open-RvR servers are in a 5:3 ratio. The Core/RP vs. Open-RvR/RP are in a 1:1 ratio. 10% of the servers are Core/RP. Based on what little data I've seen, its quite possible that more like 15% of the population will want to be Core/RP. We'll see.

[Gisli]

Regarding server selection process: I plan to hold some sort of vote sometime between now and Sunday. But I want us to all be more educated about what our choices are, first. I'm guessing more information will come available, and even if it doesn't, we'll need a chance to talk through the implications. So probably Friday night would be a good time to start, closing Saturday night. But like everything, we have to see how things develop.

[Isak]

I'm going to post the full herald post here


WAAAGH!!!

Servers, servers - get'ya servers! Below you will find the server names we anticipate being available at Launch. These will begin going live Sunday, September 14th with the Collector’s Edition Head Start and will continue to roll out leading up to Launch on September 18th.

Players will be able to choose from four server types: Core, Open RvR, Roleplay, and a hybrid Roleplay/Open RvR ruleset. We will continue to open up servers supporting different server types as the need arises.


Core Ruleset
Core servers are just what you’d expect. These are servers that have everything Warhammer has to offer, with no special changes to the normal ruleset. RvR is confined to lakes and Scenarios, and there are two opposing realms engaged in the WAR. Players may only engage in Player vs. Player combat when flagged to do so in specific areas around the world. Select a Core ruleset server for the original exciting gameplay experience that WAR was designed to offer.

Open RvR Ruleset
The Open RvR servers feature RvR flagging everywhere except for the Tier 1 Chapter area and the surrounding PvE content. Once players leave this area, they will be flagged for RvR anywhere in the game. Open RvR servers are perfect for those who want to add an extra challenge to their gaming experience. Players must constantly watch their backs or risk attack by enemies everywhere they go! Only members of opposing realms may attack each other; the Open RvR server still focuses on Order versus Destruction.
Rules:

- Players are always RvR flagged from the moment they log in
- Chapter 1 hubs and capital cities are safe
- There is no bolster buff in RvR lakes
- Players will be chickened when entering an area that is two tiers below their level (ex. A Tier 3 player entering a Tier 1 area.)

Roleplay and Roleplay/Open RvR
Any server flagged as Roleplay will follow the same rules as above, but with an additional set of guidelines. These servers are for those players who enjoy truly immersing themselves into the Warhammer lore by acting as their characters’ personalities in-game. Players who opt to participate on a Role Playing server must agree to far more specific rules regarding naming, and it is suggested that players would adhere to WAR or high fantasy conduct and behavior.

why do I have this very wierd feeling that those are going to be the sunday morning servers?

[Najana]

I'd say fighting against Guin/Hib would be a good idea.

[Gisli]

I don't necessarily disagree with you Najana. But there are two implications.

1) If they are on our server, then you can't go play with them if you want to play Order. You have to move to another server where we don't have a community.

2) The are planning to play on Phoenix Throne. So too, maybe, are about a bazillion other people. Is it going to be the super over-crowded server, just because it is first on the list?

If anyone gets information about where other RP communities are going, please pass it on!

[Aoann]

If when is not an issue, which one do you want?

[Tholinar]

I agree with the first server being way over populated. I have told my peeps to be patient and that we would let them know once we know more. I would like to know before Sunday as I will have my alarm set and coffee pot on auto, now if I could only get grandma to take the kids for a week...

You think they are popping all these servers up on the first day? :D

[Dankus]

I'd say fighting against Guin/Hib would be a good idea.

I like this idea too, though I do unserstand Gisli's concern. However, we may have more competition here if most of the Percival Order are going to this server. If we go to a different server we run the risk of blowing through our enemy too easily. Not saying that's a fact, just a thought.

[Morbidd]

30 servers listed for North America total
60,000 Collectors Editions in NA?
Makes for a potential 2000 population per server on opening (headstart) day.

[Dall dies to much]

From VN - James EAmythic


Hey all,

The plan is to start with a limited number of servers and begin rolling them out as my post says.

Please remember there were only 60 thousand Collectors Editions sold, we need to make sure that the CE servers are populated enough while leaving room for expansion as guilds, friends and family come in with the SE Head Start and then after launch on the 18th.

Thanks all http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/1.gif




Yes, most definitely unless no one shows up for head-start, haha http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/1.gif

We'll open up new servers as we need them and account for the population booms we'll be experiencing on the 16th and the 18th and in the days to follow, thanks all!


really not amused right now:furious::ranting:

[Aoann]

Good thing I got CE for the stuff that comes with it not headstart.

[Fuga]

I'll vote for Phoenix, if for nothing else than the fact it has a P like Percival :)
And that it might just be the only RP server up at launch due to being listed first (who knows!).

[Rashaverik]

I'm feeling partial to the Open RVR/RP ruleset.

[Aoann]

I am pretty sure we want to stick with core RP.

[King Stinkeye]

Mighty King Stinkeye here. My merry group of retards are for a core rp server as well. Phoenix Whatever sounds fine. I don't really care which but I think a decision on this so we can prepare would be super...a poll or something maybe?

[Monstein]

Wasn't it talket about along time ago and the alliance over all wanted the core/rp?

[Rashaverik]

I'm just saying, the idea of Open RvR/RP sounds tempting. I thought it wasn't and option when we took the vote, as Mythic hadn't mentioned it as a possible ruleset.

I'm fine with Core/RP. I'm going wherever we decide as a whole to go.

[Dall dies to much]

bad thing I got my two to avoid dealing with the "rush" ?

hell.. AoC had 14 servers for headstart

Morbidd might be on to something, just not will to bet money on it. the issue is, they are being squirrelly on confirming it :(

[burt]

Releasing a handful of servers like that is a silly move.

It'd be pretty correct to assume most guilds will have at least a couple head start people playing on the initial release servers, and when the rest of the guild is able to log on, it will go to those first servers as well to play with their already established CE guildmates?

If those with CE do not start on the first release servers, they'd be giving up their part of their bonus of buying the CE in the first place.

Hopefully the demand will be so much on CE opening that they'll add a few more servers of each type on the first day.

[ScarDar]

The way that list is drawn up I just get this bad feeling they're only going to open those at the top of the list on Sunday.

[Dall dies to much]

James EAmythic - VN



Guys,

You're reading too deeply into this. We've got plenty of servers (far more than are on this list) we will bring up servers, whether they be core, open-rvr, etc. as the need arises.

We're all MMO players too, many of us have guilds that are excited and want to get in and get started too. Trust us that we're looking out for the best interest of the game and that we know what we're doing.

Don't Panic http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/1.gif

My goal is to provide you with this information on Saturday so it is as accurate as possible, thanks all http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/1.gif


he is getting hammered to nail that fist 30 list as "the CE list" or some lesser list :P

[Dall dies to much]

DalDiesALot posted: James,

We know you boys and girls have more servers beyond the list.. what is concerning ALL of us is this line:

These will begin going live Sunday, September 14th with the Collector’s Edition Head Start and will continue to roll out leading up to Launch on September 18th.




We all are wanting to know, the fist 30 US server are going to be LIVE at 7am sunday morning or some LESSER list

thats ALL we are asking (least I am)

A lot of people are asking a lot of different thing http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/9.gif

But to answer your question not all of these servers will be available on Sunday. Thanks!

direct answer from James, to me on VN... best I could do :(

[Caere]

Well, my reading of this whole mess is this. Mythic's original plan was to roll out 10 servers (1 core/rp server, i.e Phoenix Wastes) Sunday. Then to roll out the others on the Herald list starting on the 16th and ending on the 18th with more to follow as needed.

On IGN, many are crying because they feel all the big, organized guilds will all end up on a just a few servers and, therefore, won't be able to pwn all those who are not so organized. (See premades in WoW, as if that was a high mark in MMO's).

So the current plan seems to be that Mythic will publish the official server plan on Saturday. Stay tuned!

Caere

[Tholinar]

They updated the herald with this:

Please Note: We will provide the list of servers that will be available on Sunday morning for the CE Head Start on Saturday, September 13th

[Aoann]

Awesome.

I know that it will be what it will be and whatever happens happens. No use getting bent out of shape out about it.

[Gisli]

We'll do some sort of poll to select a server starting approximately one hour after they post the "official" list on Saturday. That should give us the maximum information and a little time to digest it.

[Tholinar]

Agreed, we will all know on Saturday. I have informed my guild that we would know which server we will be on Saturday evening. Until then, lets go kill some order. I like they sound they make when they die :)

[Dall dies to much]

I'll keep monitoring... I got a few internal guild issues to work out right now (aka Reckoning prime is going order, with the Guin alliance it seems)

updates when i can get them :)

[Narg]

I don't have a dog in this fight per se (ie... not a guild leader), but the rp/pvp servers do sound awwwful sweet. :huh:

[Boragar]

Well assuming at 7am Sunday morning, if the server we choose isn't up at that time yet, we could all plan on creating characters on the RP server to "help" it reach its cap limit, hopefully to ensure they quickly open another RP server(s) soon after. :P

[Torg]

PVP servers generally end up as playgrounds for gankers and griefers. Our group played on one for a year and a half in WoW and ended up hating it. We eventually all gave up multiple level 70 raiding toons to start over again on an RP/PVE server and have been much happier there. More to the point, though, I think it's already been decided that we'll be on a Core/RP server.

Of the three in the list, I'd vote for Phoenix Throne. It may be crowded, but if the whole point of Gisli's efforts here has been to reunite the old DAoC RvR community, then doesn't it make sense to make our home on the same server with this group's counterpart on the Order side? If you are looking for an epic war, don't you want the worthiest foes?

[Dall dies to much]

I would love it if all 60k rammed the servers at 7am... just to make them /cry

Some people really want to play both. order with that server and destruction on a different one with us.

yes, she brings up a huge point for me also... Reckoning is going order, which is fine, just I want to beable to chill with them with alts when the time comes...

[Wodin]

Well let's have a sticky announcement with the server names for both Destruction and Order.

[Olaffsson]

My guild has chosen Phoenix Throne as our Order server and Monolith as our Destruction server. Hope to see some or all of you there, either with me or across the battlefield!

For the record... we'll be Necrosis on Monolith, and Purge on Phoenix Throne.

[Aoann]

oh I will have a lot more fun in the woods then people picking servers. ((HUGS))

It is my guess they will release 10 of those servers on Sunday, 10 more on Tuesday, and the other 10 on Thursday, and then determine how many more to unleash on Friday/Saturday.

[Wodin]

I wasn't insinuating Ravens is playing Order. I only meant that to clear up confusion we could consolidate the multitude of options into something more clear than several pages on a thread. such as:

Sticky: Ravens will be playing on XXX server.

[Dall dies to much]

[Dankus]

yes, she brings up a huge point for me also... Reckoning is going order, which is fine, just I want to beable to chill with them with alts when the time comes...

I guess what needs to be decided is what is more important. To rekindle old rivalries and fight against your old foes or to be able to have alts on servers and never see one another in the battle field.

I personally will have alts for Order but I'd much rather have the competition of a good foe and the fun it brings the forums when we fight good battles. I would much rather fight against my old DAoC mates on the same server.

I am not influncing server selection for you guys, just addressing an issue with only one Core RP going live sunday morning. Push comes to shove, I am going Core RP Destro with this crew, for a number of reasons.

if its possible I would LIKE the option of playing with reckoning 6 months down the road on order, but if only one RP server is live on CE HS, I am making my bed with you people.

[Graysdir]

I've been playing on Tyrion in OB, and the fights were amazing - Loads of battles in E vs C zones 24 hours a day. But I was frustrated with waiting in a queue for 10-15 minutes whenever I wanted to login. (I don't recall seeing any queue's in closed beta...)

So last night when Tyrion was down, I went to Barak Varr and rolled a toon. I got to E vs C zone, and there were eight people roaming around. Total. There was no zerg on either side, no crossed swords on the map... it was sad.

Now, I would gladly pick the highest pop server and wait in a queue, just so I know in the future, it won't be a dead server.

The problem is, there are curve balls that can be thrown at us. Mythic adding new servers, etc. I can see the possibility of a mass exodus if there are long queue times and suddenly a new server opens. So many variables.

When DAoC was released, I'm really glad I chose Percival. It was always a fairly high pop server. A good place to call home. I'm glad I wasn't on Nimue where the pop was significantly lower. I can't remember though; was Nimue a release server, or one they added later? Guinevere was a great name for a server; lots of people identified with it, and likely it drew extra population because of it.

I'm anxiously awaiting more info - We should take into consideration where the other large competitive guilds are planning on moving.

One thing I like about choosing one of the first RP/Core servers to open, is that's where plenty of CE people will go - and in my opinion, most CE players are going to be power gamers, who have followed the game for a long time, played in beta, and will likely be solid competition. I like that aspect, plus I think that server will be packed. At first, that might be frustrating, but in the long run, it's worth the short term "queue" pain.

Just some thoughts I wanted to share... fwiw! :)

Grays

[Vaskl]

HAHA I wanna play on Skavenblight..
I wish the skaven were in the game.

[ScarDar]

I'm leaning towards Skavenblight simply because it's the least attractive name of the 3.

[Rardac]

Skavens ver' good place....lotsa good eatin' in skavens! :D

[Monstein]

Greysdir has a good point. Do we want a server where we can always find open RvR and show the power of all of us working together and have long que times? Or do we want a empty world?

[Morethancaffine]

Greysdir has a good point. Do we want a server where we can always find open RvR and show the power of all of us working together and have long que times? Or do we want a empty world?

Me tinks dat dis question almost answers itselfs. It make me tink abouts WHY we gunna play WAR in particular ands not sum udder game. It boil down ta da RvR. Wat good is RvR when joo ain't gots nobuddies ta fight? Me tinks dat me would rather sit and curse da que when me loggin in, and have peoples ta bash, more dan me would like an easy login and den playing a PvE game dat geard toward RvR, wit no RvR.

[Gisli]

Personally, I want something in between. I want a server with a largish population, but not one so pounded as to be unplayable due to the queues.

I don't know if the first Core/RP server being released will turn out to be unplayable. But I am quite certain that the second and third Core/RP servers will NOT be empty.

Our experience with OB seems to be a good example. Tyrion was first, and it had queue problems. (Maybe now its OK though?) Some late servers are empty. But Arborash -- opened two hours after start -- has been quite reasonable for us. Only some minor queues in the first couple of days, and enough people.

[Sanger]

My vote is for the second RP server, Skavenblight I think.

Hehe, well dat is da best case scenario dat most peoples want innit? Me hopes dat dis is da way it will happens fer da CE Headstart on Sunday, buts me just feel dat Mythic gunna mess dis ups an all da peoples dat wanna play on Sunday gunna be wastin dere times on de wrong servur.

This orc gots it right. We will proble only get a few servers on sunday and if/when we move to are home server a few days latter the main reason for any headstart is out the window. Headstart is done to ease the pain of the starting areas.

[HesH]

Can North american people play on an oceanic server?

[Wazdakka]

My vote is for the second RP server, Skavenblight I think.


It also has the advantage of being the only RP server with a cool name.

You know, since there will be a lot more people around, the starting areas of the later RP servers are likely to get mobbed if they don't come out during the ce head start.

[Gisli]

We will proble only get a few servers on sunday and if/when we move to are home server a few days latter the main reason for any headstart is out the window. Headstart is done to ease the pain of the starting areas.

It is possible that we will be faced with the choice between a vastly overcrowded server on Sunday, or a decently populated server some hours or days later. There is lot of guesswork here. We don't know when the second and third servers will open up (perhaps we will learn this tomorrow with the next Mythic announcement, perhaps we will not). Perhaps even the first RP server will shake down to some manageable population (though I think that will happen only with great hardship by driving MANY people away). Maybe the second and third servers will also be overloaded, even if they do come 1-2 days later. There is a lot of uncertainty. But right now Mythic's plan appears to be to release only one Core/RP server on Sunday, and wait an unknown time to release #2 and #3.

[HesH]

Anyone? i mean i know like european people cant play on NA servers with out a US payment type BUT can US people play on a Oceanic server... Should look into it as it would allow ties to remain to alot of our old friends

I don't know the answer. I don't recall if those show up on our server select screen or not. Or what the ping would be like if we could select them.

Possible advantages of picking an oceanic server: No crowding, even hopefully a nice sized population. 24-hour-a-day population (since we would compliment the oceanic folks in playtime).

Possible disadvantages: Long pings? (Total speculation.) The possibility that Mythic might boot us off because we are violating the spirit of their intentions. Conceivably, an underpopulated server.

Was just a concideration of mine if its duable, since start. just thought i would suggest it while we kicking ideas around

[Lef Grebo]

I do have concerns about our 'Home' server not being available on Sunday, when so many of us are going to ready to go.

Wolves is just waiting to hear what server to roll on. We have several people in CE head start so we'll need to know soon.

[Dall dies to much]

I am not putting presure on anyone about this.. I got 2 CEs (myself and my prime healer), the rest of my people are going to be trickling in during the week

I know a lot of the guildleaders/alliance leaders on this board are CE peeps also...

hence why this is driving them bat shit

[Wodin]

I'm sorry I was getting frustrated guys. I see the problem now. The CE servers will be full as can be for the SE launch. so most of us with SE and not even preorder will likely not be able to reliably get on the CE servers. At the same time, the CE folks will want to play before Tueday and Thursday, respectively.

Tough call....

[Rusby]

They posted an update, not sure if this is the one we're waiting for though:
