The cap is 12. If you have more than that, they will transfer and should be playable, but you will not be able to create new characters until you are under that limit.

All. All US PvE (including RP) will be merged into one. All US PvP will be merged into another one. The EU will have similar happen. There's a lot of sad RPers because there will no longer be a separate RP server...but there's also the flip side being people like you who can meet back up with RPers. Kaelish made a nice TLDR post. -T.

Stormtalon, Pergo and Evindra haven't even been hitting Medium during prime time for over a month. Drop 1 didn't bring people back as predicted, neither did Drop 2 with the 7-day free trials. I can totally understand that Carbine/NCSoft would rather err on the side of caution and go with something that would ultimately address the population problem than hope that merging some servers and Drop 3 would solve the problems.

Thanks again for the elaboration Pyaray! I was replying more to the other poster. And I mentioned I don't think it would be easy, just not too hard, like if there currently wasn't instancing or ways to switch. I would think that a lot fo the bugs for instancing would be under control at this point, and changing only the method of how you go to an instance, and specifying which on eyou go to wouldn't be that risky. I do understand that without knowing the code this is all just guesswork though. I could see staring with a single RP instance with the possibility of it being full being a place to start, with possible multiple instances for RP if that becomes an issue. Anyone heard what the capacity for one instance is? Depends on the zone perhaps? Knowing that something is underconsideration and options are being looked at is something the players should know. Thanks for that. I think somethings are being lost with this mega server idea, and no matter how good the benefits are, losing something isn't a good thing.

It was stated that they aren't overflow instances. If you end up the first person in a new instance you wouldn't be there along for long as anyone else logging or travelling there in would also get placed in that new instance. And if you were up for teaming once you join a team you can jump to the leaders instance. You could always ask someone to team for that purpose if you really thing your instance is too lonely ;)

Ooooor... you could just read the dev posts. They even provide handy dandy links to make them easy to find.

Definitely looking forward to it!

They are recommending you orient your monitor portrait style ;) And possibly get a longer monitor :lol:

See, you are thinking only of what you want. This is a good thing for you, so how could someone else be upset? For RPers this is over all all bad thing. They didn't have a lack of people to play with, and were happy as is for the most part. Get it?

I hear you on the weird tags. But there would be more freedom to just have 30 characters, spaces, numbers and limited punctuation to work with. Allowing for: Chua named: Fluffy D. Megabomb, Muhwahahaha, Ai P. Onexposedwires, Explosividity Mechari named: A157-1, Protocol Alpha-a, 3 of 40, Ultimadroidient Humans named: Dr. A Twozee, Andromedead, Patty O'Table Draken Names: Velo C Raptor, Professor Stab Hugh, Cole D'Bludead, RepKyle The list goes on! Suggested punctuation are '. - Current proposed criteria aren't bad, but I think they could be much better.

What? There's no confirmation either way there. He originally wrote

And then amended that by saying he should have written "At least a month" e.g. replace "followed by a month" with "followed by at least a month" in that quote. That's just confirmation that Drop 3 would be on the PTR for at least a month, which hey it has; we still don't know exactly when anything'll come out... Don't read 100000 words into this.

Inacceptable. Nothing to add. Learn to understand: we do not care about your drop... take your time. That is fine. We care about balance and bug fixes (and the cupcake rune system).

The PCs make up an insignificant proportion of the forces on Nexus. You're being sent off on missions vital to your faction and are chosen by Drusera to battle the Entity. You should be able to justify a roleplaying reason for a special title in all that. :D
