Same zone copied over multiple server instances. Usually based on region or language. You can freely move between shards if the population count allows it. GW2, GW and many other games did it.

Sort of. It's basically one zone copied multiple times and people placed inside them.

Wildstar is not DC Universe or Tera. It never has been. Do you know why I'm here talking to you right now? Because when I came into this beta this forum wasn't a toxic wasteland. My last beta was the FFXIV:ARR beta. That beta forum was like wading through poison. Imagine launch month forum times 1000. Even after the launch, that poisoned community carried over and the game was up so I didn't even look at the forum any more. Remember, Tex, I played alone. Yeah, my husband was there but we have different play styles. I quested alone. I adventured alone. I did all alone. I know what 0 community is. We already have a foundation for a good community. It just takes people continuing to be here and reaching out to others to make it grow even bigger and better for the Megaserver.

For the love of Torm, at least put some cinnamon and butter on it!

EVE is the only thing that CCP does. They don't have anyone breathing down the back of their throats when things go south. I don't know that NCSoft is going to allow for a slow growth method.

All the bunnies and hamsters built space ships and flew away into the stars with the lizards, rocks, toasters, zombies, cowboys, and noble lords. And they all went in search of the space elves. The end.

{| style="width: 100%;" Good morning, everyone.

I actually made the same request a few minutes ago in the feedback thread before I started catching up on this morning's Coffee thread. I think that would resolve a lot of the concerns regarding the lack of an RP megaserver.

While I understand where you were going with it, and your request was a very similar idea, I think it's less likely to go anywhere simply because it asks for a way to exclude people, which is the opposite of what they're trying to do with the megaserver. The solution needs to be something that is separate enough to discourage trolls, but still welcoming.

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "Better to light a candle than curse the darkness." And Crinde, go Mordesh if you want to be tall and Aurin if you want to be small. I always choose non-human if possible.

{| style="width: 100%;"

All things said, I hope megaservers aren't the end for Wildstar. I love Wildstar, I love it so much it's basically ruined all other traditional MMORPGs for me. So despite my voluminous documented misgivings, EVE is my only backup plan. I really don't want to do the backup plan. Outside my old corp, people hate me.

Mordesh are cool but be aware they stick their butts out and wiggle them when they run. That took some getting used to. Also, Heidi is green and when she swims she reminds me of a frog. Lol

Yea. I was a Pirate bomber. Yar! The pirate life for me!

I played Tera for about six months, maxed one character and started leveling alts. The biggest issue with the game was that the combat was the only thing it had in its favor. There was almost literally nothing else to do in-game. They tried with the political system, but that ended up being a major flop at the time. Even with one of the best combat systems I've ever played, it couldn't compensate for the lack of alternative activities. Keep in mind this was several years ago, so I don't know what's been added since then. Now, if some brave developer took, for example, ArcheAge's huge selection of non-combat activities and mashed it together with Tera's combat system, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Sadly, it hasn't happened yet, but WS is the closest I've seen, which is why I'm sticking with it for now.

You totally look like a pirate :) I co-lead a wormhole alliance.  We like to think of ourselves as the last bastion of freedom out on the frontier where the big alliances can't bring their capital fleets, and the odds are even.  We've got miners, pirates, freebooters, scoundrels, law-abiding mission runners, merchants, builders, and all kinds of people in our alliance.  We have our home system and we raid and pillage the other ones that connect to us every so often.  We're nice folks, but come into our system and we'll shoot first and not bother to ask questions.  The one thing we have in common?  We're not willing to bow down to a massive, 10,000 person alliance just to play the game.  So we go where those guys are afraid to.  And when they come in our wormhole?  Yeah, we remind them why they're afraid. :D To think I started off in EVE as a simple asteroid miner.

Oh man do we have some different opinions. Those cut scenes and voiceover work can sometimes be a boon, but I wanted to straight up murder Minfilia and, later, Alphinaud. In fact, I had a mild distaste for even the best speaking roles. I hated the voiceovers so much. I don't really like most voiceover work, though. Too many ways it can grind on my nerves.

Yea. EvE, Shore Leave, Alcohol and Pirating DO NOT MIX. Our lead webbed a ship, hailed it, demanded Ransom. Now, my wing of bombers is just outside, holding in formation. My leader *FORGETS* to tell us they're just chatting and the ship paid the ransom. WE think the guy is stalling, get antsy, decide to go weapons free and make our run. We decloak and drop payload. I instantly get "WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!  HE PAID!" to which I reply... "GET CLEAR!  SHARKS IN THE WATER!  I REPEAT!  SHARKS IN THE WATER!" ....and so the hauler was ravaged by more bombs than I can imagine because it wasn't moving by the time the bombs hit it... and.. yea.. oops.

Well, I'd first like to suggest to both Lankybrit and Kytar that you please please please get the server name right while it's still a server? :( Evindra wants to have a word with this "Elvindra" trollop.  >_> I would really love it if they would add an "achievement" title "of Servername".  That way all of us who remember our OG server fondly can choose a title to represent and remember: Tep Tris of Evindra Teneko Koneko of Thunderfoot Like that. Anyways. I've said it before and I've said it again.  I'll keep playing on RP or Megaserver as long as it's fun.  I don't know the future.  It may suck.  I do truly feel bad for the people who feel betrayed or like they've seen it happen before. I hope for the best, and prepare for the worst. You guys are awesome.  It's not the server name or server flag that makes it awesome.  It's you - the players. And my player may not sit around and RP much, but I will trot my rubber-banding Mechari butt over to stand guard over any of you that find you are being griefed. -T. Proud Evindragon and Thunderfeets

Yes, but you don't have what looks like a legit name over your head XD  I'm not like Adorable McKinnsey. Although I wouldn't mind being Victor Van Meter. That name sounds awesome.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. We know you're female though :)

I stopped playing FFXIV because I couldn't get enough of my friends to play for us to have a stable group to do the group stuff with. I had the same problem with GW2 :( I really liked the world, the setting, and the content of both games - but without people that I could trust to not be jerks, it just didn't work.

This would have made more sense sooner, before we started talking about things like cars and stopped complaining.

I've been rp'ing in games for a really long time, and while I'm not saying trolling doesn't happen I can say that I don't see it happen all that often, and when it does it's usually from a tiny percentage of the population. The fact is that rp has become such a huge part of gamer culture that there are more people who sympathize with people who rp in games even if they themselves don't rp in games than there are people who give others crap about it. I do think that having its own channel is a must even for rp servers, and I've always kept personal rp between characters to pm's. The fact is that just because I like to rp doesn't mean I like seeing chat flooded with paragraphs of rp between people who aren't attempting to limit their rp so that others feel welcome. I try to keep my rp to no longer than a tweets worth of text whenever possible.

If it blinks, moves or has animations, I'm okay with those. But IF I'm going work my arse off killing Carbine's dungeons and raids of doom, I better look like I'm out of the Tron's prototyper's *cupcake* dream.
