Hey, look on the bright side:  we could have been affiliated with EA.

I may have to move back to Indom 🙂

 

Ha ha ha, now, let's not say anything we can't take back later....

Don't even joke about that! Seems it was only temporary, most likely all those casual yanks piling onto the server during our daytime. :D

Game over man, game over!

And yet another queue, just wanted to have a quick bash (on Excelsior) before lunch, and all you swarming yanks are overloading the server in your Sat night prime-time, bleh.

If I transfer my current main to Indomitable, can I then transfer it back once the devs get this under control, or the traffic dies down again???

Surely there's a better way to load-balance virtual servers via instances and whatnot, than having hard-coded server architecture with hard player limits in 2024...:classic_wacko:

Yes, you can transfer back.  And no, not with the way Cryptic Studios designed the character database.  They didn't believe in using SQL for MMORPGs.  Thus, here we are.

Has anyone tried exiting the queue then clicking the server again? I've done this every single time since the login issue began, and without fail it pops me into my character selection screen like normal.

I play on Excelsior and I've yet to get caught in a queue. I can log in without a problem. Meanwhile, my partner logs in a minute later and ends up in something like 20/80. Well, ladies first and all that, I guess! 😂

As other people have warned, just make sure to create a 'throwaway' character with the same name on the server you leave.  Otherwise when you do want to come back you might find the name taken.

Look at all the servers that aren't bumping into the concurrency cap!

Iirc, you get five transfers per week, and it would be a good idea to have a character or two on the lower population severs which also get larger experience buffs. Great people on those too, and no trouble finding teams either with them peaking over 500 each whenever Excelsior is in a queue.

Excuse me Mr Devs, can we please have an Indomitable for down under, so we too can have 10 players in peak hour and no AH economy, but really low pings? We love a challenge here ya know! ;) Seriously, if you are using Azure or AWS hosting, we have those in Aus - unlike those NZ sheep who are still doing 80s data centre hosting! :classic_biggrin:

True.

Vampires and mirrors are not a good combo.

The Auction House is cross server - you can post an enhancement on Excelsior and a player on Indomitable can buy it. The lag free experience is wonderful though!
