New server?

[grimjim]

I need a more devious mind. I didn't even think aobut that.
Good call, though, I am pretty sure you are right.

And if people hadn't thought of it before, they have the idea now

/tell buddy.arispotle heya, madakoo is "up" in "cho"

/tell buddy.arispotle got 10 M spare?, need to buy a GH.

A sec, relogging to "Cho" to check my GH.

I don't understand this. So now when someone logs in they will get to choose the currently English server, international server(where English is the language), french server, or german server?

What is the difference between the English and International Servers?

There is the problem that uber gear can (and will) be transferred over via Ring exchanges. It won't be as virgin as it should be.

That's probably not the only thing that could skewer things. I somehow raised the point in Universal chat since I wanted to double-check on cross-server trading.

Despite the fact you raise Sehraci, Cho could possibly be a virgin land without the existant 'economy' or playerbase Aniro, Leanon and Arispotle have, ripe for the plundering to whoever or any guild that chooses to powerlevel characters over there with (or without) the help of experience catalysts, and then start hauling in the supreme materials, the Kitin larva, the named loot, OP materials, more crystals, trade it back to the other servers and then dislocate the already fragile economy and balance present.

I do hope Nevrax tought of this when they allowed cross-server trading and then deciding to open up this easily exploitable new ground. Nonetheless, I would really like to hear an official response and elaboration on this matter and how/if they would fight this exploit in the making.


Edit: Gah, dammit Aaj!

Nothing.
Arispotle already is an English International serer, this'll just be another one.

It would help the (admitted from both 'communities') different bias in gameplay style that doesn't do either any favours.

That's the part people are considering "xenophobic". You can use the phase "admitted from both 'communities'" all day long, but that doesn't make it true.

Maybe it is for Ring instances, to allow permanent instances without making the current servers unstable. I know I would prefer to have this type of content tested at a safe distance from my stable Atys

Quite agree, why I don't like the sound of it so far...

The Ring needs to be patched and transfers shutdown BEFORE the new shard opens... can move alot of cats in a couple days...

I agree with this.



grimjim, I'm not going anyplace.

Has anyone actually tried cross server trading through the ring or is everyone just guessing?

I read (sehr iirc) it has already been done. And there is this "Global Marketplace" thread
