So the Warhammer CE server list came out today. I am pretty bummed. How on Earth does Mythic not understand that 80% of the CE ehadstart player base is going to be trying to hit the same 5 servers? THEN when the regular Preorders start then they are going to try to be logging onto those SAME 5 servers. THEN when regular purchase players hit, THEY are going to be logging onto those same servers to play with thier friends already on.

Come on Mythic...

I have a feeling the next 6 days are going to be nasty, and everyone is going to be clamoring and it will be deemed a "bad launch" , for a game that should not be marred by something like this.

I'm not sure what sort of numbers they are expecting for the beta launch, but I'd expect them to be similar to the numbers AoC had when it launched, I can't remember hearing anything bad about that and WaR actually has more servers, so iI think its looking ok there? Lots of clutching of straws here though as I have no idea how many each server can support.

Although it is a downer in a way being early into WaR, as you say you'll end up on the first servers to go full making it hard to get more people to join in, it might be a good idea for Mythic to offer a free server move perhaps for the first 6 months of the game to all collector edition players so they don't get stuck without being able to join up with friends?
