Cougar was talking about the naming convention, not the tech. They chose to use the same name, even though they were doing it a different way. That doesn't logically lead to the conclusion they did nothing, just that they didn't do it the same way.

this actually sounds unbelievable to you? NCSoft has been breathing down carbines neck since launch. Its like owing the neighborhood bully money. Do what you can when you can while you can before youre canned. To be completley honest I read what you wrote expecting something far more far fetched. Much more ridiculous things have happened than what you just said. Now, I dont think thats EXACTLY what happened, what I think happened is they did a tiny server merge and for F2P didnt have money to create a new server or anything like that, and this is one giant on the moment risk. If F2P players actually stick with the game, expect to see two more new servers pop up. Because, you know, Megaservers. ha

What, exactly, do you think keeps track of all the loot, some little leprechaun sitting in a rocking chair with a pad of paper and a quill pen?

Or you could prove him wrong?

If they did do this then Carbine is my spirit animal, as my life choices all seem to follow the pattern of avoiding problems and lying to myself until I've otherwise completely destroyed my future or at least ended up in the fetal position pretending it will all go away on its own.

Of course it all makes sense now! I mean the f2p release was rushed out of the door and meanwhile how could carbine hire a sufficient amount of leprechauns for this daunting task.A single leprechaun's manegorial skill may do for a couple hundred players but that poor bugger is just overworked now. Grabbing more hamsters to power the system is no big deal but where can  you even find leprechauns this day and age.

So you are saying they should implement Arenanet mega server tech? I agree because their version of MEGA server is not so mega and not working for anyone. Especially those now on underpopulated new servers atm.

I would agree with you but their decisions are not showing smart leadership. Look at their recent decision to change the way removing authentictors works. No need for the code or a support ticket anymore. Just go to a support article and click remove auth, it sends an email you click and authentictor is gone. WTF, they just removed the security from every authenticator. Why would they do that, just so they can save a few bucks on support tickets. Sounds like the most retarded security decision any MMO game can make. Nothing smart about that move from any angle.

Ah. So it's not an instance/scaling thing, like *every other game company on the planet uses the word "megaserver" for*, but it's just some kind of alien technology to increase the concurrence capacity of traditional servers. Gotcha. No complaints on the tech (at least in concept), but that's a big marketing fail on the name choice, there.

You have a daemon sitting in your servers and you're wondering why we have server issues? Slay that *cupcake* thing already! pro tip - his wi-fi password is 1234
