New server? To what purpose?

Random thought.  Brandywine is having issues.

Eh, Brandywine's always a problem-child when new content comes out.  Tonight's pretty clownshoes though.

Yeah, I quit for the night after nearly dying to a chump thanks to the game freezing and leaving me helpless while he merrily thwacked away with an axe.  Fortunately it unfroze in time for me to kill the thing, but it was a close call and entirely thanks to the server sucking and dying.

I'm not playing right now, but I agree. I'll probably wait a month and see if the issues dry up, somewhat.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I made my characters on Brandywine specifically to meet up with F13 folks.  But they're new, so no real sweat to go and re-make them on another server if there's to be a mass exodus.

I will join any reroll attempt asd I am restarting on a new server anyway.

I started with nothing, and I still have most of it

I'm not a complete idiot... Some parts are still on backorder.

HAL!  YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!  I am sticking with Brandywine for now, but the lag is almost enough for me to start fresh elsewhere.  I really do not see everyone moving over - ROME is awesome enough for me to give the server techs some more time.

You guys had better do this. Even after the initial new shiny noob wave recedes you'll still have a thriving server. Transferring somewhere else you probably won't.

It wasn't a Brandywine issue last night, the forums mentioned general network problems due to a bad switch. All the servers were shitting the bed.

I would do some chores around the house for 30 minutes or so.  They got a fix it sounds like, but you know it takes time.

Quote from: Tarant (Turbine CSR)
Re: Server Issues: September 12 Discussion Thread (Official Turbine Thread)
The reason you're seeing queues is because we've capped the server populations to prevent the performance issues we were having earlier today/last night. We're sorry to those of you that are stuck waiting, but the flipside would be that you and everyone else would be in an unplayable version of the game. As soon as we fix the root problem, which we are working hard to do, the queue times will be drastically reduced.

Thanks for your patience everyone - we really appreciate it.

Server seems stable now.  Store is out of commission and their website seems dead.

44 in queue this time, so it's looking like they are letting paid in first.

My client's been saying "..." then getting stuck at Examine Programs for a couple hours now. I wouldn't mind a queue at this point.

I can not believe how well this worked out for them. I just re subbed. My brandywine toons were locked out of any quests that they might be able to do. I will log back in to them and take stock. If north downs is unlocked for them its a go. See ya soon guys.

I gotta tell ya, I am having a blast.  Having all my fav. peeps on the game at once is slowing down my levelling - but totally worth it.

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Gotta tell you about my day it was just that awesome. So I made a captain this morn. Ive noobed enough that I knew I liked this toon and am gonna want one. So i do the newbie getting into chetwood and Cheddar signs on so I send a tell and get an invite. OK, cool I'm cruising and I get to the marsh, going well Ive got all but the marsh queen (tough fight) and the instance in the fort. Being sneaky and tricky I pull all the adds and pull the marsh queen solo. It was not oh it was bad luck Ill try again she slammed me. I didn't have her to half health and I was sucking potions like a wino. In the mean time this toon went second tier farmer at level 10 and had a surplus of barley flour ( this is an I win). So I says to meself What to do? I was 14 and 3/4 so I decided to grind in the marsh to 15 and do my first class quest and give it the old collage try with a plan b of wining in chat until I can find someone who will help me beat this bully. Well the class quest resulted in a purple pole arm that rocks the world. Enough said. Was just a solid night and I am looking forward to pressing on. This game was fun and is even more fun than it was.

A bunch of folks in my office have started playing on Crickhollow. Not including me, there are two alt-ing from other servers, and twelve new F2P players. Even with the caveat that we're all MMG devs, that's a remarkable figure.
