It was always pretty obvious that this was a cash grab from DBG, but their reluctance to open an additional server really screams "We're too fucking broke to afford additional hardware."
I don't even care it's a cash grab but the math on this has be able to justify a second server. This won't be able to go on for too long before the charge backs are going to start rolling in and people give up for real.

They should open a second server with a single IP limit, I am really starting to wonder why I payed for this when P99 is free and even with all its bullshit and poopsocking its still better than this shit show with 6 boxers ruling the day.

I will give it the weekend I suppose but really tempted to go for a refund/charge back at this point.

My singular hope is that Naggy and Vox are killed before most of the people can even log on to the server. Oh man, the tears would be glorious!

I think I had vastly under estimated just how much boxing was going to happen. Last night the newbie areas in steamfont/butcherblock were a joke, with roving bands of 4+ mage bots with pets on full aggro literally emptying the zones.

They should just consume one of their dead ass severs and use that for a second server. I wouldnt doubt if they had a normal server or two with 5 players left on it.

Another reason why max nostalgia is so funny, did any of these people voting have any idea what the server would actually be like? Velious+ would be a decent 6 months but classic? Everyone is going to hit 50 within the first month and then stop playing, 6 months from now there gonna be anticipating kunark? Nope. Pretty sure anyone who has bothered with playing has already had their fill of kunark.

Forgot to mention that velious will be open on p99 when kunark opens.

I don't get what the big deal is open an identical server for a few months until it dies out with the understanding as soon as the population dies down it gets merged. No muss no fuss.

Classic is horrible to be stuck in for 6 months. No instancing when there are really only 2 "end-game" dungeons is going to be a nightmare. Or did they say they are adding The Hole? Even then, 3 "end-game" dungeons without instancing? Ugh! I'll likely just hit 50, farm plat to buy a set of "Kunark-ready" gear and then just play other things until then.

Yeah that is why I don't understand their hesitation. Its not even prime time. Its maxed while the bulk of people are still at work. Going to be insane.

Well eventually people are going to cancel and go play the free alternatives or go back to other games. Only hurting themselves.

That's just it. By being reluctant and hesitating, they are only hurting their potential revenue stream from this. There is no way another server costs more than the eventual loss of customers from this turning into a huge debacle of being unable to log in.

Lol, the funny thing is that because of work I haven't even been able to try to log in so it's nbd but we really should have a second server. I just want to get my account online before I leave for work today so I can AFK and clog up the server while I'm gone.
