Server Name? - Page 2

Walks on Clouds · 05-19-2003, 12:20 AM

Hmmm. Does that mean that we might not be able to sign up on the same server? I mean, will there be a population cap on each server? Say that 6000 people sign up on Markov, including most of ATF, then a month later someone from ATF wants to join in, but he can't because the server is full. Do you think this will happen?

remember, that's 6000 people at once there will at least be double or triple that registered on the servers because not everyone plays at the same time, which is also why the first couple of days of the game are going to be hell, as everyone will be playing at once
so no there will probably be no problems for people who want to join later, as the registered user limit is probably very very high or limitless, as most people will have alts of other empires on all servers

Exactly, I don't think it will be by number signed up but by number online. They'll be watching the numbers really closley the first few days, I don't think it will be that much of a problem.

Yeah, maybe not. I'm just being paranoid, I guess.

Staying on Markov sounds fine to me.

It would be nice to know where the east servers are located. East could mean texas for all we know. And how the hell are you guys testing the ping?

You can see ping in the server selection screen when you connect. Just a matter of making note of it while you are there
