New Server?

General Discussion Started Last reply 24 posts
Botting or no botting, the servers are getting full.
So are there any plans to add another server? And maybe not allow transfers the first couple of months!
Other server? When Magmeld have only 2-3k players? ... If open other server in few months close 2 o 3 server at least....
game is very old and towns were not designed to have so much players therefore it s laggy. Thery need to be another server.
Servers would be fine with this population if Mentors/Mentees weren't logged in 24/7.
I am playing on Magmeld and even though it has a LOWER population it is still always heavy and always crowded. Trying to find a good xp spot for 61+ is tough. Towns are laggy as hell. I don't think every server needs to constantly be crowded. Having some lower population servers would be nice. Before FTP when populations were lower I still thought the game was a lot of fun and 76+ there was no problem getting groups.
This game definitely needs a fix to this problem.

I've never in my extended MMORPG experience found such congested servers. NPCs can't even talk to you sometimes. The issue is too critical to be ignored, most of the problems we face are game breaking.
we don't need new servers, NCSoft needs to just close new accounts in the oversubscribed servers and force all new people/accounts to the newer less populated servers. Makes no difference if you add another server, EU people will still go create characters in Naia, that's the problem

Character Transfer to new servers will fix the problem.

I will transfer my character to a new, less laggy, server.
Of course we create characters on Naia, we're trying to avoid lags!!
But we get lags anyway, with the overcrowded server...
Anyway no, I wont vote!!

Voting yes would mean I'm ok with current NC's politics.

Voting no would mean I'm ok with lags and log-in problems.

I would like to vote for a better company to manage L2. Pity we cant vote for our server administrators like for real world politics.
They can open 10 new servers but if they are all managed at the same level of (in)competence that they currently manage the ones that are open now it would not change a thing.

how would you avoid lag by creating an account in Naia? ALL the servers are in the same location, in Texas :S

This!

we are far far away from having 6k active ppl on NAIA atm.

Yup... one of the stupidest design decisions by NC ever.

it's stupid cause our servers went f2p and there was a bazilion newbies starting (ie getting mentored)

on mature servers the mentor system would be fine, there wouldn't be anywhere near enough mentees to keep so many mentors online

Sorry, I must admit I'm a bit naive, sometimes. For a moment I actually
thought that a server named to be european could actually reside in europe.

But I now realize that if NC "cant afford" to manage a bunch of servers all
placed in the same room, how could they ever be able to manage a remote
one!?

Which brings me to wonder how did they decide to make a distinction
between US and EU....if not because of a possible ping improvement....which
I've actually noticed the first times I've tried playing on Naia (before F2P).

Not that this makes any real difference, now!! It's a nonstop lag everywhere!!!!!

Naia used to be homed in Europe (Germany) but since NC sold the Euro rights to Innova it got moved to TX with the launch of GoD
i vote for more mobs and faster respawns on dailies, for example WOA lvl 75+ wirh angels OMG is insane.

1-small number of mobs.
2-One minute to respawn.
3-item is low chance.
4-1 mob ksed by everybody.
5-can't do anything against ksers (pk)
6-suicide
I rerolled alright.... to a private server lol
If they add another server, I hope they name it Erica :D
Adding another server would not be any bad idea but they still can fix it by implementing other kinds of functions in the game or simply modifying the current ones.
I see no benefit to adding another server...thinning out the population is why the game died in the first place...They had to offer tranfers, then mergers, the servers went from 10 down to 5 at one point....(3 usa, 2 euro). Before FTP there was only 3 servers!

When FTP launched they added 1 new server, saw it wasn't enough then 2 weeks later added another one (shilen, bartz). Now we got healthy servers with lots of ppl..but No one will PvP 90% of the time because everyone is scared to flag. Because they might end up Pking some ppl, and with this horrible PK system, wont be able to dekarma.

Try 2 , Chronos and Naia lol

Shilen came with GoD update but within a day or so magmeld what created for the huge surge of new players in shilen as well as on Chronos/naia. A week or two later Bartz was finally recreated which became more popular then magmeld.

Anyways, ya we don't need new servers what we need is for our servers to be managed better. Bartz and magmeld still have low enough player base to hold quite of few more players. Besides, the way things are going we will lose some people and people will start asking for server merges again.
Character Transfer to new servers will fix the problem.

I will transfer my character to a new, less laggy, server.

That would be an option, let clans with no CH/castle transfer all their stuff to a new server
