Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
He said they are bringing up one new server (assuming tomorrow or Tues) then 2 more shortly after that.
I might wait to try the claim bit on those, hoping they alleviate a lot of the issues.
Sometimes it's hard to separate actual coding problems/bugs from just simply being too overloaded.

I got a second claim flag that actually worked. I took it back and I'll wait on the new servers to spin up to try and claim something good.
I understand that games in the alpha stage are usually quite unrefined, but why would you charge people knowing there is such little land to accommodate people?

Not one person had to buy in and they are offering complete refund. So I have to give them a pass. DG gave a pretty good explanation about how they are looking at alpha.
I think you are really being charged for the items and perks you get to carry into live. They seem pretty good but I dunno.
SOE is handling it well and will get the best of both worlds. All the good will from offering easy refunds and all the money from the fact that 95% of people won't bother with a refund whether they are frustrated or not.
My pov is that most people will see the game has vast potential and want to keep their bonuses from the preorder whether alpha is frustrating or not. The Bonuses are really for the open beta anyway and after seeing the alpha it seems like in 6~ months when open beta hits and things become permanent the game will be pretty solid.

Any mention of work going missing? My penis cannon is gone but maybe my claim got reset because of it.

I've lost my claim and my claim flag is missing. Should I delete? I had a lot of resources lol..
Also, I'm being stupid and playing with driver settings while there's a queue. But I can't stand seeing one video card at 99% while the other is at 0%. /OCD

At this point, if you really want to play this and expect to be playing when it goes live, the 48 hour open beta head-start you get on the Trailblazer pack is almost worth it alone. You can pick a prime spot and in that 48 hours there will be far less people than there are right now.
Man, it's kind of insane that there are so many people in a $60-100 buy-in. It's going to be nuts once the free crowd gets their hands on it.

If you guys think they didn't do this on purpose to test what happens when land availability is limited... well... I don't know what to say.
Some pretty simple math would need to be done to know how many trailblazer packs were sold vs how many claims could be put on each island. This land shortage was pretty clearly intended.
Since land will be a limited resource, the value of that land is linked to its availability. If land price goes up, SOE makes more money via transactions. They probably wanna see just how far they can push it by limiting supply.
It's what I would do too

But given the station pass will be $15 for this, PS2 and EQ:N, sign me up for that shit.
Going to be really interesting what they do with EQ:N, this engine is gorgeous and the humans, at least, don't look all the bad. I didn't think I would like the flipping/pakour stuff as much but it's pretty fun to mess around with, so even more so with combat.
