Well, I have seen many of you complaining on how you can't log in, and how much a server is needed. Those requests are of course subjective, since you say so because you can't log.
Me on the other side, I have no problem logging. I can log at whatever time I want without a problem. May be because I play in Magmeld, no idea.
Anyway, I started last Tuesday and have been playing all along, until now I realised I don't really like how useless and discriminated my dwarf is, so I decided to make a new char.
I created my char and found that Talking Island is in fact more crowded that it was last Tuesday when I started. That's weird, and it means one thing: the numbers are constantly increasing at a very high rate. That would not be a problem, but we all know that the server is being forced to the max.
Now, when you log in, you can see that Magmeld is the "recommended" server. That probably means that its the one less full. If Magmeld with all the people I have seen today in Talking Island is the less full of them all, then that means we do need a server.
Will solve the inestability issues, and also the lag which is now appearing in contrast with last Tuesday when everything was fine.
To sum up: we need a server. The numbers are on the rise everyday and it looks from my experience that the influx of players increases everyday.
So don't be cheap and open up a new one :P
