Teek Population / Log In Concerns

Darkpaw never took over they just branded the teams that were already working on eq & eq2

I just think it's reasonable to expect some serious log in issues, due to the popularity of this server. I'm super stoked the server is as popular as it appears to be. I think they've hit a home run with this server, in almost every way. It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult though, for them to do a few things that might help some of the log in issues. Launching the server earlier in the day, maybe letting people pre make one reserved name character, etc. I'm not a tech guy and I'm sure there are limitations I'm not aware of. Maybe they have already done some things we don't even know about, to increase population limits, etc. I would like them to speak to some of our concerns though.

Miley is wise

Pretty sure it will be likes its been the last few tlps. Staggered loggins for the first few hours. Letting a few hundred log in every 30-60 mins. Until servers full. Expect massive que times for the first half of the day, if you arn't one of the lucky ones click connect early enough to be in one of the first few waves of staggered logins, after that the que times shouldn't be THAT bad, after a week or 2 the que times should be gone completely.

By "THAT bad" I mean, maybe a few hours.

This is pretty much the norm from what I've seen as well.

Some people better off just waiting a day or two if you have limited time

There's Jchan again giving his insider info! . The closest we have to what Teek is likely to be is Aradune and Aradune had Rizlona for people to roll on too. I suspect that your guess of 2 days is wrong. Thankfully, Tormax will not have a queue for people that want to mess around on a server for a couple of weeks until Teek's interest has waned. Unfortunately, in the past, it feels like some of the waning interest is due to the queue time.

Then they get to rubberstamp the only 2 relatively smooth tlp launches in recent memory.

That said, this will be our first chance to see what they can handle with things heavily weighted on one server on a launch. At least scientific curiosity wins out. Who knows maybe we are discounting the amount of people who want a vanilla Kunark launch. Maybe Kunark start is enough icing to embrace vanilla cake for enough that Tormax does enough business.

You are describing how it was on Mischief, but Mischief had Thornblade, which was also High pop to take pressure off. I suspect it will be far worse this time.
