Shatterbone is a Full server...as are all but about 6 servers. I'm pretty sure that it's going to die off over the next couple of days, so I think we should stick it out.

What about you guys?

This is the non-peak crowd.. they will open more servers for prerelease and the people with no ties to a server will swap to get out of a que..

So we stick it out.

Servers were full 6 minutes after launch... oh my.

I thought they had probably underdemiciated the number of servers needed for North America.. seriously underdemiciated them.

on their facebook they even added 2 servers before they opened them up ... probably should have gone for more Razz

600 in line and 3 hour wait at 12:50am... Suck.

That other server for the guild at my work is even worse. 1000 in line and 4 hour wait.

Yeah, I had a 560 person 1.5 hour wait... got down to about 10 people and 3 minutes left when my comp locked up. Then my network went down and NOW I'm at a 550 person 2.5 hour wait.

Methinks they needed to make many more servers than they thought originally.

Hell, I'm tempted to play on a different server just to DO something while waiting for the rush to die down. There were 2 servers with Green population indicators. <sigh>

Until we can get on Shatterbone, I'm on Aedraxis as Tahli the Bard/Ranger/Riftstalker. They seem to have buffed pets a little bit. Better threat gen and damage absorption.

As much as I'd like to play, I already know I'd most likely get bored in a hearbeat, and I'm tired of wasting money on games that I don't end up playing. I've got a new girl I'm interested in. I REALLY enjoyed the beta, as I said, it's the first game that's had that 'polished' feeling to it, even in beta. It wasn't quite the same 'wow' feeling, but VERY like it. And with the soul system, there are SO many class combo's it makes me crosseyed.

Maybe I'll play with you guys at some point if it lasts....it's inevitable.

So the server is Shatterbone?
Character names? or guild name? I had originally toyed around on Deepwood with my brother but he's gone back to WoW, so I'm rolling a character with you guys.

Yes, Shatterbown Defiant is us. We have a guild, but some of our mains aren't in it anymore. Guild Name = Pandora's Handbag.

My main is Vilentia. Tzalik's is Shanfiata but he's been working on Nautianisha. Mongo also has some but his I can't remember. We've got a thread in here with the character names.

I just noticed it before I opened this one. I was looking at the old Rift thread location initially and didn't see it. As soon as I can login, I'll post my name. It seems to not like the fact that my IP address changed since I authenticated. Seeing that I don't actually have internet at my house and I'm generally just using whichever hotel I happen to be staying in, I'm hoping this isn't going to be a big problem.

You'll get an email every time you do this. Input the code and you are good to go. Called being Coin Locked or something. Excellent idea IMO.

Wow, I just realized I haven't played this in a week or two. Grouping in this game is just horrible unless you know a lot of people. I've solo'd up a Bard/Ranger and don't really have any desire to solo anything up again. I would LOVE to group up, but the LFG tool blows if nobody uses it.

I'll probably be cancelling my sub soon.

I'm actually playing DDO again to kill time until SW:TOR.
