You forgot to reply in the other thread:

Shadring does not affect general chat. So… “/1 Currently killing wolves, anyone want to group up?” is still possible. Then you’ve met people.

Asking in chat is not the same as meeting people in the world while doing things. Do you understand or do you need me to explain this further?

You will meet people in the world with sharding, unless you’re one of those people who thinks sharding creates a personal shard for every individual person?

it does reduce how many people you run into. so yes it has issues. furthermore, how many times have you run up to a node to harvest only to have it go away due to sharding?

Usually when that happens it’s because of multi tap nodes, otherwise this only happens with nodes on the edges of shard boundaries. So we’ll have to see what the shard areas are.

you know what sharding is going to do as well? because of the very nature its going to inflate the number of resources being generated by the game.

Well theoretically if this only stays in the starting zones it’s a non issue. But either way the number of resources stays relatively the same to the number of players.

not in the slightest.
lets say each zone generates x herbs.
and each zone, when all the shards are factored in, is basically now 3 zones.
you’d end up having 3 times the normal number of herbs.

And you have 3 times as many players gathering and using them. But then that’ll only matter if after the initial rush there’s still too many players , at which point it’ll be interesting to see what blizzard does.
