Title: Max level 20 server for NA
Post by: oprah_winfrey on August 01, 2012, 04:33:44 pm
Will NA be getting one of these? On top of the fact that playing on EU ping isn't very fun, by the time I get home from work EU_5 is already down to a few people max, which means no multis. I understand that the server can't be that popular because it doesn't take that long until you can't play on it anymore, but I can't help but think that NA_5 would draw more people in the prime time hours.

Would of course be a good thing due to ping reasons but the problem is that if the server isnt populated you don't get a multiplier (that means usually below 8 ppl).

and always 50% more xp isn't better than x2, x3 sometimes.   :)

I am assuming that during the prime NA hours, the server would be populated, whereas the EU one has 2-4 people on it and half of them have 100+ ping. As an east coast player, EU isn't unplayable but for those located elsewhere I would imagine it is pointless to play on it.

From what I understand, you get x1.5 per X level. It doesn't cap at x1.5. It elevates based on a regular x1, x2, x3, x4, and x5.

I think miwiw means if you arent getting a multi because there is not enough players, 500xp is probobly lower then you would get on battle/seige.

Havent used the eu one yet since i havent retired in over a year..

I think its a great idea that people have a lvl 20 max server to play on.

I recently stopped retiring my main, but it is helpful for alts. My gen 1 alt makes more xp per tick on that server then my main...

Too many servers for no real purpose.

Turn off EU max lvl 20, and start one in Australia so everyone gets same ping.

Your not thinking about the long run..

There is some people who really have no patience an cant be arsed to get molested by higher lvl players until they reach their peak..

The more new players to stick around cRPG the better.

:Also what the hell would be the point of the server if everyone had shitty ping an it was unplayable? some of your post really dont make sense.  :rolleyes:

not enough NA player.  Even t peak time, there are several empty/near empty servers.

I see plenty of peasants on na1/na2.

Yeah, but then the other servers would be even more empty.  I don't think its a good idea, personally.

The EU server is an option, and you can level so fast there that its not long before you're back at lv 20.  Even if you have high ping there, its not like you can expect to kick ass as a peasant. :)

But you cannot level so fast on the EU server because you are limited to 1500xp because it doesnt get enough people for a multi during the night. And why would I expect not to kick ass as a peasant in a server where only peasants are aloud?

Sounds more then fair that NA has the same leveling methods/speeds as we do. Not that its alot of xp  :P Besides it encourages people to make alts.

But I like having peasants to shoot!

On a more serious note, I doubt there are 15-30 peasants on NA at night (at least from what I have seen on battle/siege).  Maybe more like 10, not enough to justify such a server.  This would simply serve to hamstring the already-low NA population.

You just don't see them because they all get couched/lanced in the first 30 seconds. Plus level 13ish-20 usually wear gear/weapons, so it is sometimes hard to tell they are peasants.

Even if you nay-sayers are right, I seriously doubt that an empty server really effects performance on the other servers as much as you guys are making it out to be.

Like others, I'm just not convinced that it would be used. How many slots would the server be? I could see something like 25/30 slots maybe.
