Re: Future of European KoS and LoS

November 21 2011
It's great that you guys have discussed this. Because this is worrying me. I didn't join up with you guys to end up in a guild with only 13 members (no offence, I'm sure those 12 other people are all wonderful).

I know that lag won't be an issue, I play LOTRO, which moved all the servers to the US.

I assume that maintenance will be done on a weekday morning. That means midday in Europe. Should be finished by the time I get home in the evening.

I joined the EU LoS guild. At the moment I'm in doubt if I will start my first toon on the EU or on the US server. I wonder how many people in the KoS/LoS US guild are European. There must be Europeans in there who decided to play on the US servers.

The only reason I can think of to play on an EU server is lack of people online on weekday evenings and weekend mornings. I'm not talking about fellow guild members. In an MMORPG I like it when there are a lot of random players around, to ease the grind and to have a general feeling of being in a mass multiplayer game.

A this time I would prefer it if we're all one happy family on a US server. If it doesn't work out, we can still separate (no relationship last forever).

Of course another solution is for you to switch to Chrome. :)


IE :evil:

It's readable in firefox. Only problem is have with the forum is that when i refresh on tabs don't refresh for half a minute.

Hummmm, I am pre-registered since July and I have not received a weekend stress test invite, I wonder if they are staggering those out via email. Hope so, I want to test again and yes I am down on the idea of all being on the same server, I would love to test grouping


Woops, spoke too soon, just got my invite and RSVD'd already :) yay!

Will the weekend stress testers have access to the same servers as you regular testers?

Obviously i want to play with you guys. Preferably on the same side. Are you guys mostly playing republic or empire?

I'm SO down to get on the same server for this weekend! I too had issues with the queue for Leviathan so I played on some other server. But I too would love the chance to play some KOS folks in beta.

Good idea, Van. I wouldn't worry about recalling the servers from last beta weekend though. Other than the ongoing ones (e.g., Leviathan), the others seem to change.

BTW -- during the last weekend, I only had a queue for Leviathan on the first evening. It wasn't bad for the rest of the weekend.



That's good to know about the server, I didn't try it after the first nite. Now to figure out which class to play...hmmm...

Thoughts on the upcoming Beta Weekend

November 21 2011
Hi folks,

I think everyone who registered on the SW:TOR forums before 11/11/11 will be invited to the next beta, which is this coming long weekend. I was wondering if there is any interest in trying to get as many folks as we can on the same server? I have read several previous posts about folks in beta and which server they are on which class they have played and so forth.

Leviathan (sp??) seems to be the most popular server but it is the one with the biggest queue, when I tried to log into it I was 3,496 in the queue. After 2.5 hours of waiting I stopped and selected another one. I eventually went with Canderous Orb (again sp??) Thankfully the queue was much smaller, I was 952 and it only took me 30 or so minutes to get in.

Since most of us will be playing this coming weekend (U.S. holiday?? what U.S. holiday??) ;p I hope we can get as many of us on the same server as possible. By chance did anyone happen to get a listing of the servers from the last beta? This might help in coordinating which server to select and to get as many of us on the same server as possible.

Just a thought as it would be great to play with some guildies.

I think combining the guilds into one large LGBT guild on the Empire and Republic side is a great idea. I know it will be a lot of work for the O's but this guild is filled with wonderful folks who will be willing to lend a hand and help you all thru it.

Let us know what you need and again awesome idea!

To Nniicc and Halish,

I'm an aussie who preordered CE and i didnt get a beta code for this coming weekend either. I just realised (thanks to another site,) you have to rsvp on swtor.com/tester first.

I did that, and thats how I got the download link for the launcher.

Sidenote, i was having trouble logging into the launcher until i provided all the answers to security questions on my account.

Hope that helps :)

Future of European KoS and LoS

November 21 2011
Hello All,

Myself and the other officers have recently been discussing the future of the European guilds for Knights of Stonewall and Lords of Stonewall. Right now our European guilds on the SW:TOR website are under populated. Knights of Stonewall EU currently has six members and Lords of Stonewall EU has seven, compare this to the US Knights of Stonewall which currently stands at 129 members. Because of this we have also received requests from European members who would rather play on the US servers to be with the main population. This has left us with a problem we have to consider.

We are discussing unifying the guilds and focusing on creating a world-wide Knights of Stonewall (and Lords of Stonewall) on a US server. We have spoken to some people who have reassured us that server lag won’t be a problem and that they play on US World of Warcraft (and other games) servers without ever noticing a increase in latency. I have done this myself in the past with no problem.

I’m hoping some of you may be willing to give me and the other officers some feedback on this. I’d like to make it very clear that we don’t want and will never abandon the European members in our guilds (I’m European myself) and we’ll continue to provide a fun and equal experience across all time zones but the server will be located in the US.

This does have some drawbacks for the European players. It can be expected that the patching will most likely happen during European peak time but on the same point it means we’ll get the patch as soon as the Americans without waiting until the next day or longer, like with other massively multiplayer online role playing games.

It also means that the Europeans will be playing in a guild of 100+ instead of in a much smaller guild which may struggle to complete content and run large scale events.

We haven’t made any decision on this yet and we’d love to hear any thoughts that any of you have on this issue.

Thanks for taking the time.

Halish
