**Official** Aion RELEASE Thread

I guess but moving servers is always risky, you lose people who dont want to start again also you might end up on one with a really low pop. They could see by the amount of people who pre-selected what was going to happen but nothing has been done about it. Allowing transfers off also creates another problem of leaving the busy server almost dead.

Well, my attitude would be that if they dont want to start again (maybe 3 hours worth of play if they are level 10ish), in order to be with the guild, then they probably arent worth being in my guild anyway.

I do agree that they could have done with maybe another 2 or 3 (absolute max) servers for release. Though it may not have helped anyway, as I've said before, when I looked around on the net, it seemed that absolutely stacks of people all declared they would roll on Spatalos. Was evident to me that there would be queue issues on that server. I think even if there was another 2 servers then people would still have chosen to roll on Spatalos rather than those other servers.

Another 2 I would have been happy with though, more than that I most definately wouldnt have wanted, but 2/3 max would have been good.
 
Disabling the damn Private Shop AFK abuse even if only temporarily would be a good start. When I ventured into Pandemonium in the wee hours this morning, It was a total slideshow because or the hundreds of selfish queue dodgers all stood in huddles and AFK while in bed. As word spreads on how to avoid the queues, this can only get worse :(

Also a good point, they could easily set the timeout at say, 30mins.

Although having said that, people would still just find other ways to stay logged in. The most popular one in MMOs being facing a wall with autorun on of course.
 
I'm not in the OCuk guild yet, I am planning to after reaching a reasonable level somewhere after Lv10.

I agree with Tombstone that if a move was to be made it should be done now. People can't even get on to Spatalos to do any levelling unless they've left it on AFK all day whilst they're at work/school. For those that have managed to get on and level probably haven't reached the stage where they wouldn't want to lose what they've already got and can't easily achieve in a, relatively, short 3 to 4 hour burst.

Right now, Telemachus and Gorgos seem like the better choices :)

Telemachus is such a great name. Appeals to the historian in me that one :)
 
I just tried logging in on all English servers (5:40pm, near enough primetime).

Spatalos: 7hrs 20mins!
Castor: instant
Telemachus: instant
Perento: 9hrs 10mins! (lol)
Gorgos: 19mins

i thought castor was meant to be the most overpopulated?
 
I think it was chk4 that managed to sway the decision of OCuk's Aion choice of server to Spatalos since he wanted OCuk vs his clan battles. Thanks chk4, thanks a lot :D

Is your clan, or the one you are with, on Telemachus? If so, I'm going to recreate all my characters on there and hope the same names I've got on Spatalos are still available on Tele.

No, the guild I am in is on Gorgos. I just REALLY like the name Telemachus :)
 
Castor has NO queues at all. Madness :eek:

Created a couple of Elyos alts on there just to at least try the game out.

Seems that Spatalos is going to be hell for the forseeable future. I have managed just five mins on my Guild char so far :(
 
Ok, I've decided to get out of Spatalos. The only problem I got now is the long wait to get on to Spata to be able to delete my characters so that I can create them on another server. I've already hit my limit of 8 so I've got no choice but to wait in the queue :)
 
Timko where are u heading mate?

Elyos / Asmo ?

Which server? I will happily join you mate - just want to play the damn game !

Both Castor and telemachus are queue free !
 
I went through all the trouble making the characters early so the names are unique and so on, I think I'll try to put up with the queues for the time being :)

All my chars are Elyos at the moment, with 6 of them to just to grab the names but I will balance it out and have 4 of each. I think I will go with Tombstone on Gorgos. There may still be a wait time (20mins) but it's a blink of an eye compared to Spatalos and Perentos :)
 
6:30 queue, reckon I'll just get online at 1AM then go AFK shopping until after work tomorrow! Joy... :p

Shame you can't play an alt on a less popular server while queuing for Spatalos.
