AA: Let me pay you for a premium server already Trion!

Posted on September 20, 2014 by SynCaine

Another simple fix for the queue nightmare; open sub-only server(s). Bonus option: Open a sub-only server for $25 a month with all F2P aspects of the game removed. Thanks Trion, and you’re welcome.

AA: Easy fix for the massive queues

Posted on September 19, 2014 by SynCaine

The 3k+ queues for most servers right now means you won’t be playing that day, which is basically WoW-launch terrible in terms of being unable to play an MMO, at all, that you are paying for. You want the easy … Continue reading →

Sitting in a queue for at least 30min. Although the total was only 860, with an initial estimate of under an hour, which is not bad at all for the first day of F2P. That said it might be worth … Continue reading →

Posted on September 15, 2014 by SynCaine
