Body: Don't worry. We'll be rolling out servers constantly. I'll think about having a secondary list posted though.

After a little discussion about this topic with some Mythic officials, I finally received word from the kingpin himself.

If anything, I believe I've gotten him persuaded to roll out a second list so we know the second server to hit.

Also, the way he's been talking, the second server could hit almost instantly after Phoenix Throne.

The answer is VERY simple. If Avelorn is listed as the second, then we had better join Phoenix Throne. If Skavenblight is the second, then we better join Skavenblight.

Reasons are simple. Mythic is using alphabetical server categorization.

It is apparent that servers listed above others will fill up much more quickly.

So, there we have it.

I think the servers that will roll out will be totally different names then on the current list.

I think the servers that will roll our will be totally different names then on the current list.

Yeah, the Open Beta server names will not carry over to Live.. as far as I can tell anyway. :P

[Slaight]

I meant as far as Skavenblight and Avelorn goes, i don't think the servers will be taken from the SE release list.

[Cleon]

Hmm, that's also a distinct possibility if they've reserved the names of those servers for SE only.

So, looks like we'll wait and see what new names they intend to bring forth.

[Rusby]

Ah I see what you meant. We'll have to wait and see, but until we know we can refer to "it" as the "2nd RP server"

[Gisli]

I agree... I take Mythic at their word that Avelorn and Scavenblight are going to be opened on SE (Tuesday). Any second/third/etc Core/RP servers opening up on Sunday will have other names.

Since I have to go to work now, I can't wait for another poll to be put up. So I'll just leave my thoughts here.

Personally I think we'd be just going with the ebb of the untethered people if we went to the second server.

If we stick with PT, we'll likely see a dramatic decrease as other RP servers open up because everyone is thinking of doing what we are thinking of doing. However most of the old glory guilds from DAoC have already picked a server and are sticking with it. If we go wishy washy right now we have a chance of what happened on Malganis.

[ScarDar]

We should really consider Osterberk-whatever server. Everyone and thier mother is going to be like guin "let's just stick with Phoenix cause that's what we said earlier today and it'll cost too much trouble." Even though O comes before P the damage has already been done.

[Dall dies to much]

Tor Elyr Roleplay

you also have this server later in the day (Sunday) possible


generally speaking.. we bomb PT, and Ost till they open Elyr
