Servers are getting crowded again...

Hey guys, I just noticed that almost every server got crowded today... Is it because those godforbidden Egytians got ther internet back or what? And secondly, now that a Prem+ ticket costs 290 silk (?!) how are we suposse to keep playing? I mean, I won't pay 290 silk per month just to get in :S

How are we suppose to tackle this problem? Help me my fellow gamers!

Maya is starting to get there. No where as bad as it once was, but we'll see.

Yeah, me neither. Some guys from the union complained like crap about it yesterday though. They were like; If it's every gonna come back, I'll leave.

I guess they forgot how it once used to be, lol. Back in the days with the captcha. That was when it took a long time to login! But true, the traffic is coming back.

Well I only had to wait like 15 sec but that's not the point. If it does come back like before (and yeah captcha was a living hell) I don't know what to do...

If the servers get overly crowded I'll most likely quit for good.

This is why you're complaining? I remember a time when general discussion was flooded with threads with people complaining of wait times that lasted multiple hours. Stop complaining and enjoy the minimal wait times you impatient ingrate.

I'm not complaining! ...yet. I'm not talking about whati should do now I'm talking about if it gets worse! And I've been playing for a log time so I too have been stuck in line/not been getting in for several hours. It once took me 3 days to get in...

You're clearly complaining

personally idc, I've toughed it our for waiting for over 2 days to login to instant login. I'm sure I can handle this wait, no matter how bad it gets. The only way people will quit sro if the login is so long they discover life outside of the game... :dope:

Yeah but before you had silver/gold prem for 150 and 200 silk. They got removed in the last update so now you are pretty much forced to spend 290 silk if you want preferred access.

Bots my friend, bots. Obviously they found a way to get around the restriction. I mean, it's not like 100 random guys decided to put their lvl 1 chars at Hotan at once

Afaik, the IP restriction was only applied to the US and possibly North America. If they applied the IP restriction to other countries - for example, Egypt - we might see lower server stats. Actually, if they applied the IP restriction (2 clients per IP) to most countries, it would cut down on population a lot. I'm sure there are tons of people out there with full 8/8 bot parties running on their beefy desktops.

The servers are crowded only because Joymax/Wemade decides it to be so...and that's the plain truth...
