I really don't understand the whole "biggest" server deal really. The majority of the PvP servers announced in the original listing are at the same population. I guess the only difference is that some "big names" might go there, although I don't see how that adds to the appeal (seems like it'd make it less interesting, unless you're the kind of person who invests very serious time into MMOs (SC too demanding as it is :D)). Every server will have its top guild, so meh.

Personally loving Lotham atm, playing with some RL friends. It'd be nice to see some TLers there.

After hitting lvl 10 on this game, I've been entertained so far. There were multiple rifts that the whole server went mobbing lol. I was killing lvl 18 stuff at lvl 9, and it was really fun killing stuff as they warped in the "rift."

I'm going to roll on Deepstrike (going Guardian) instead of Briar due to the long que lines. I waited from 12pm to 11:30pm just to log into Briar.

Yeah, the amount of people trying to play right now is pretty insane. I logged on to Whitefall a few seconds after the server came online and ended up in queue of about 40 people. The queues have been growing A LOT since then.

This happend to Aion too when it was released. After the free month the servers were pretty empty though. Im still keeping my hopes up, i might start playing if Rift doesnt suffer from "Aion Syndrome".

Aion in my opinion wasn't nearly as good as rift though. It was awful to level and there was no content at all (this is from a pve perspective).

Rift has shown a lot more potential, and if they keep their promises a lot of people will keep on playing, I'm sure about that.

I clicked Briarcliff and instantly cancelled when I saw the queue.. From my WoW experiences on Frostmourne before the realm was split queues are a pretty regular thing if you ever want to log on during peak hour for some country.

I just rolled on Spitescar or something... One of the medium population servers.

Rift is the Bees Knees.

I got to level 20 during the open Beta, and the games addicting. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I'm guessing that's not legit, consider "minutes" is lower than the rest of the line.

I won't play on Briarcliff cause I will never end up playing, I have never had the patience for queues and end up just quitting. If you guys play on another pvp server I'll play along. I'd like to be a dwarf cause they are the ultimate assholes

I gave up on briarcliff when i saw the 2000 person queue yesterday. Instead I'm on one of the 2 RP-PvP servers I saw at a glance(less retards on RP servers then otherwise usually) Can't remember the name from work though...

I'm already impressed with the steady stream of changes since the start of the beta process, they really seem to be intent on giving the best game they can, not worried about making changes people suggest like blizzard seems to be.

I've seen suggestions/bug reports I submitted find their way into the next patch, and then issues I saw but didn't get around to reporting also resolved. It's definitely not fully polished yet, but no MMO is on launch, I'd say it's one of the smoothest launches I've seen (remember back to the vanilla wow launch fiasco?) As such, I anticipate them smoothing things out even more over the next few months, and we'll see a solid ~500k subscriber base form.

I don't think it's a "WoW killer" but I'd say it'll run a healthy, as long as Trion keeps up their so-far fantastic support of it.

So yeah... are we still heart set on making Briarcliff the official Team Liquid guild server? Cause those Qs are nuts.

Me and couple friends are on DeepStrike we dont really know if any one else here. If there isnt any specific servers you guys want, roll deepstrike maybe we can create TL guild if we have enough people.

I didnt even knew this existed, friends told me they were playing and just got it w/o even looking at the game. lvl 10 not dissapointed so far, this game shows promise if handled correctly.

Hey guys.. seems like this has had a really positive reaction from TL

Whats so special about this game that seperates it from any other standard MMO?
Kinda after wow, anything similar gets me bored really fast (like, within a few hours i remember my bad times from WoW and then i just wanna quit)

I dunno anyone wanna convince me to try this?

Well my previously med capacity server is now full and im waiting to get in. 55 in queue so not too bad.. but jesus. Can you imagine launch day!

Edit: I guess ppl really are staying afk ingame. Wish Trion would do something about that. Took the darkfall team ages to sort out that mess.
