Servers

[dapplin15]

Hi just a quick question 

 

So last night server one was jam pacled with players, so i resorted to using server 2. 

If i play tonight and there is space on server 1, will my progress be transfered over?

This was brought up in another thread, but no your items will not transfer over. Roland said that this will not change, either

I can't find it using the search function. Can you give a link?

 

@Roland Just now I saw S1 slots are 148/100 (48 queuing players) and S2  slots are 2/100. I suppose it could even out a bit given some time.

I am sure that a balanced playercount on both can be achieved by  combining a S1 EU and a S2 US - in a Hive. 

But right now, 48 players (33%) need some motivation to hop on S2..  Maybe some info would be enough, make it a reliable server.

So.. What's the plan for S2?

S2 will stay online as long as people play on it, or as long as S1 has queues. We cannot connect the two servers into single hive for reasons already explained. So as long as people move to and start playing on S2, there shouldn't be any fear of losing progress there. It has exactly the same configuration as S1, including map objects so there should be no difference between which server you play on.

Thanks for the reply, I also got the link to your explanation now. Understood.

With the greatest respect, it's really difficult to see any other reason for not hiving the servers besides a financial one. The majority of the community support the servers being hived, yet no justification seems to supersede that. There are many fixes for the issue you highlighted, many of which have already been suggested by the community. But one thing is true, if both servers are hived, there would be less incentive for people to purchase priority positions within the queue.

The reality is no one will play on server 2. It is a roleplaying community, and it's difficult to roleplay on a 225 km² map with a low population. No one wants to establish themselves on a server which may not exist within a month. No one wants to establish themselves on a server where they cannot roleplay, which is the primary reason we're all here.

In a game like DayZ where you will frequently crash or have to re-log in order to fix a bug, having a large queue is frustrating, and having an emtpy unhived server as an alternative is even more frustrating.

This 100%, game crashed during a great RP session, rejoining I was in the high 40s for the queue. Although I love the server, and there's a real pandemic in the world at the moment, not many people have that kind of patience.

Since atm the only reason to play on the second chernarus server is to avoid a queue while finding no RP as it's borderline empty, is there any chance you, as in staff team, give people a reason to hop on it? Maybe small events or something, to get people to give it a go, hopefully splitting the playerbase in a healthy manner instead of 100 peeps and a 50man Q on one, and 5 players on the other server?

Just make a poll, see what the community actually wants to happen. Fucked loot economy but you can actually play, or a good loot economy where you sadly can't join the server without waiting for 40 minutes. I know which i'd prefer.

After a bug forced me to relog, I couldn't be bothered anymore. Spent over half an hour, watching my spot go up and  down between 15 and 18. This issue needs to be solved asap.

There is. With quite the majority, actually.
