We're not making enough noise about layering

All they said was they’re “fully committed” to getting it out of the game. They didn’t say they 100% guarantee it.

That was probably the strongest language they could use. You very rarely want to “guarantee” anything when speaking about the future as a company. Something may delay them and they don’t want to be crucified over wording.

The LA Rams were “fully committed” to winning the Super Bowl this year and look how that turned out for them.

Horrible comparison. Every NFL team would say that, and none of them have any control over what happens.

@Velquez-moon-guard

There’s no concrete guarantee we won’t still have layering if something goes awry, such as way to much population on certain realms.

Alleviating server stress at launch, with so many people in a couple zones, is the primary purpose of layering. Temporary population expansion is secondary, and they’ve already warned people on full realms that the queue may get longer after layering is turned off.

@Kaivax

Raising realm caps would simply forestall the problem, letting more players in at launch but creating an unsustainable situation down the line, with severe queues when we turn off layering permanently before Phase 2 of our content unlock plan.
