    Stay away from icewatch and grow the Blightweald community.
    2 active PVE servers are better than 1
    if you plan on raiding, for now blightweald would seem to be a better choice.... every conquest that starts makes just about everything else stop dead in its tracks, including any raiding - playing blind, wondering what is making it through to the mob (or your healing target) is no fun whatsoever

    Will there be an increase in character slots?

    As it could get awkward for alt-a-holics like me ;)

    If you can't fit your characters in to 24 slots I think it's time to cull the herd.

    Fixed the lag???? does that mean you have increased the lag?

    Since 1.9 Icewatch has been a disaster. No point in going over old ground you know whats swamping our shards chat, and forums. But now our shard crashed completely

    Not value for money right now guys, please for the sake of your EU customers sort out this shambles

    Let's say you had them all fit into 12 slots... and the people you played with on one server all transfer to the other you're on.

    This has happened a fair number of times.
    You can play WoW in any MMO. You don't have to play WoW in RIFT. Oh, and no, RIFT is not a WoW clone. Not having fun any more? Learn to play, noob!

Some people chose a German/French shard and play with the German/French client simply because they want to play in their native language. Random groups will be a major disturbance (if not pain) for those if any communication is required.

    Default restrictions?

    Will the restrictions for the bank vaults also be lifted - very important when you spring something like this on us ...

    I really don't understand the need to have more than 8, one of each class on each side. There are still 4 servers left, you can pick the ones you play the most and shuffle them around to park the less used ones on the servers that you don't play on as often.

    Sure you can see problems, but rather come with solutions:

    French/German people who dont understand english will:
    - Use their shard-chat so get a group
    - Join the shard-chat of their native language fellow-shards
    and thus wont ever ever have the need to use english.

    this will only work with Dungeons unfortunately. SO:

    If I was Trion I will add an option to the LFG: Language. To choose the language that will be spoken in the group. Those who can speak English can select that(together with German or French, if they speak them all).
    Now Trion at least give you the option to make the pool of people for LFG/WF/Conquest bigger, and its up to the player to use it or not

    OK. So your proposal is : go back before LFG ! Nice.

    If I was Trion I will add an option to the LFG: Language. To choose the language that will be spoken in the group. Those who can speak English can select that(together with German or French, if they speak them all).
    Now Trion at least give you the option to make the pool of people for LFG/WF/Conquest bigger, and its up to the player to use it or not
    I don't see the option in what has been announced.
    I would be first to applause for a language checkbox. Or anything else, for example a LFG/BG/Conquest extended to other Wargroups only if the waiting time is more than 5 minutes. Or any kind of options of that sort. And then I hope I manage writen-english quite well (what is not the case for a large majority, I assure you), but being forced into reading and writing in English will transform a game in some kind of work... less fun.

    The main issue I see is naming a place (or everything else) : when you have the game is French, it's not always easy to know what Germans want to point at ^^

    Hey all,

    Just wanted to let you all know this is now scheduled to occur early in the morning in Europe tomorrow, Wednesday July 4th.

    We anticipate it will take around 2.5 hours but given the scope of the reconfiguration additional time may be necessary. We'll of course keep you up to date throughout the downtime!

    Cheers,

    Which is odd, given that multiple people have explained this multiple times. There are many reasons for which people would want more than 4, or 8, characters -- and in any event, 8 is more than you can have on one server, so if one of your servers goes away, you still have the problem.
