I know what they said, but does that mean they cant change their minds about those pesky lvl1-11 name wasters?


Well, to EME, they are potential subscribers though, so it's not likely they'll change their mind last minute. ;)


Hah. Someone that is lvl 1 for 3 days isn't a potential subscriber in my eyes. its a troll, trollin names. Names that people that will play would have wanted for their alts.

As I said, the population range displayed on a server list can be modified without changing the population on the server. If EME wants a server to display as Medium, they can make it appear so, without touching the actual character population.
yes this is true lol and god knows it happens every day in every other mmo for many different reasons but think about it, we,ve had two patches this week so assume they just increased what those servers could hold which needed to be done any way ( maybe this isn't the case maybe they will do it that on Monday i don't know) so yeah it's plausible they are showing what they want people to see which is the only other explanation they already said people have a week after to launch before they delete characters so that is not the case


Yeah I think I was just being too vague without saying how they'd make it change, you pretty much hit it on the head - increasing caps would make previously "High" servers drop down to "Medium".

Although where did they say they were only giving people a week before they deleted? 0.o
Last mention I saw was that they had not determined a timeframe for deletion.
I honestly don't remember lol but I will try and find is and when I do I will post it here :D

But that's not factual, as you said. What if I rolled a character to hold the name I want for launch but was unable to play in Open Beta, yet I have every intention of buying the game next week. My character should be deleted because I was level 1? That's not really all that conducive to wanting to sell more copies of a game. :p

Except that they haven't - not all of them. Many people have those perks without paying a dime upfront.

Just to be clear, I'm not debating that it sucks to have names used up by people who might not ever play the game, as it certainly does. I'm just saying that EME has spent months promising and advertising a Open Beta where everyone gets to keep their characters through launch, for the sole purpose of getting more people to convert and buy the game. They aren't going to just decide at the last minute to wipe only certain characters right before launch.

*Sadface*

Well, I hope they reduce their few months down to 1 or 2 weeks after release.

Still, server status looks just like it did before OBT started. Maybe they increased server limits, maybe not. Coulda increased the limit of VoT more tho, given it's history.
