Locked servers permanent?

I am not really sure what you are saying. I am pretty avesta has no big streamers but not something I am interested in. Do you have any evidence to back up this 1-2 month claim though? O

officially they said “for the forseeable future this won’t change”

“not permanent” they said

They will probably be re-evaluating that as things settle down.
Currently, everything is a bit of a mess server-wise so I don’t think they can make any concrete statements as to what’s going to happen and how.

That’s exactly what they said:

This character creation limit will remain in place for the foreseeable future, and we will provide an update when it is eventually removed.

Ah thank you for this! I missed that post. It is nice to see a answer and know it is not forever.

Ya and that is fair nothing about this is ideal. I just have one friend who is lvl 46 already so trying hard to sell a reroll to him. I just was worried we reroll and that server fills and locks and we are all screwed as I think over time we can collect more and more old friends if the game is fun.

I’m on Avesta with 26 other guildmates who I convinced to come play from WoW.

We have 3 others that paid for Founders packs but couldn’t get on yesterday because they locked a server that has had no queues for having “extended queue times”.

And since then have not said anything in response or any kind of update for our server and others in the same situation, that have had no queue times but still got locked.

I’ll repeat here what I’ve been saying in other threads. And no, it’s not a perfect fix for everyone, but it would help alleviate issues for a lot of the Founders players.

Allow accounts that bought Founders Packs, to still create characters on the servers you locked that have had no queue times, so people that paid money to support your free to play game can still play together as we have for many years.

For servers with crazy queue times, it’s a completely different situation, and I agree they should be locked. Ours and other servers that got locked do not fall into this category

Absolutely understand.
I’m currently (well, almost currently :smiley: ) running two guilds. One with friends that managed to get into one of the locked servers and one with friends that came after and are in another server aiming at doing cross server content for the moment.
Hoping server transfers become available at some point, but, eh, we’ll see.

Here’s hoping you manage to sell that reroll to him, I suggest using the lucrative proposition of 0 queues vs 20K queues :smiley: And, besides, level 46 is recoverable in a day or two, I believe in him!

I am avesta as well, the locking did surprise me as well. I had never seen a que and only 1 friend had one for 10 minutes so did seem unneeded.

I also came from WoW. We had a few come now and a lot of we will wait and see people. This is the big reason why I wanted to know if any timeframe for unlocking as when can these people could check out the game with us. I do with they offered paid options for going to locked servers I know I would personally pay for a few friends to come over instead of me losing 40 levels and a few others as well haha…

Ya I know its like who cares but they have found the class they love and so it seems more about having to repeat the same stuff again for them…

Being on avesta makes it hard since we didn’t ever have a long que… Just crappy situation all around with no easy fix since AGS can’t just give us transfers.

The powerpass doesn’t work cross server either right?

Should be around a couple weeks. it is usually based on the amount that are playing

If our servers are locked to new players they need to bring them up and let us in… new players can wait lol.

No, it doesn’t, unfortunately, you’d have to level again and get to 50 to get Passes for that server.
It is very much a crappy situation and I hate it that Amazon is kind of forcing a difficult choice on people to either leave progress or leave friends (kind of). But… for now that’s all we have and it’s at least something.

at leat 1 month if not more

Ya and 2-3 months down the road none of this will matter. Just hard to convince friends of that concept…

i dont think so game just to hyped right now after a month they even think merge servers , cause AGS publishing the game , for example New world started with almost 1m now hardly 50k players.

Understandable since the feeling of “wasted time/effort” is a hard one to swallow.
Here’s hoping for a fast resolution and, mainly, for getting the transfers, honestly think that if/when they implement them everything will be settled.

And, in the mean time, I, at least, feel that the is good enough (so far) to warrant the added effort in dealing with amazon’s Nth bullshit.

I am just shocked a game with a cash shop doesn’t have paid transfers. I guess they figure make more money on the few that would actually reroll and buy new stuff. Seems to me would make more just selling transfers as more would take that option but what do I know lol.

Same issue here. Have a guild with 50s and powerpass’d alts on Avesta. Some of our friends did not get founder’s pack. We have not seen any queues on Avesta, yet it was still locked.
