You dont understand what layering does if that is what you think. To allow 5x more people per server, there needs to be 5 layers. If they collapse it to one layer they will need to reduce max concurrent logins to compensate or else the servers will be overloaded.
Well they need to drop the amount of layers. Does anyone have a clue how many there are? The world feels dead! I only ever see a handful of people and its ridiculous.
If each server cap is 20k players then we only need 2 maybe 3 layers. Pservers - no layers with 5k+ players on pretty much at all times. I can tell you its a night and day difference from this crap, the world was littered with people and it was awesome.
The game looks like a single player version of the game at the moment. Ive been playing at all hours of the day for this past week as well.
People are getting bored and leaving, the population is much lower now than it was a month ago. I predict towards the end of October, we’ll be down to one layer on each realm.
No idea why you people keep posting old and out dated information…when the actual devs who worked on classic literatally stated in the reddit ama that layering will be gone by phase 2…
also first few weeks to a gaming company could be 8 to 12 weeks. He said few. Not two. Huge difference.
if in second phase there is a realm with over population
that will make the realm unstable and the solution is put queues (reduce the number of simultaneous players)
