    Default Just another night in Faeblight's queue

    Please, lets leave transfers to this shard available as long as possible. It doesn't have nearly enough people on it.

    Here on the forums cause I'm in queue. Honestly I don't mind all that much; doing other things for 15 minutes doesn't kill me, I knew it was highly populated when I came.

    I suppose if one were a native Faeblight player before they left it open to transfers so long, that could be more frustrating.

    Tell me the name of another NA RP server that I can transfer to, and I'll do it.

    I'm running a small-population pen-and-paper server in my basement. The RP is great, but you do need to contribute to the snack rotation.

    Well, you're trying to tell other people they aren't allowed to play on that shard, so i would suggest the same server you want those people to go play on. I'm sure you've thought that out enough to where you aren't just saying "Close transfers to this shard, screw everybody else that wants to play on an rp shard"

    I'm sure trion will end up reopening a different rp shard, or doing something about it, but in the meanwhile wouldn't it make more sense to just transfer off if you don't like queues until it gets settled?

    Only if they're hostile to RP.

    When have I ever suggested that transfers to Faeblight should be closed? Heck, I'm one of the many people who have been saying that they must not be closed if it is the only RP server.

    That said, I think life would improve for everyone if the people who are harassing and griefing RPers got an account flag set that prevented them from ever again logging in to an RP server.

    I'm sure trion will end up reopening a different rp shard, or doing something about it, but in the meanwhile wouldn't it make more sense to just transfer off if you don't like queues until it gets settled?
    Well, the thing is: No, it wouldn't, if you're an RPer.

    Which is why I think closing all but one RP shards was a bad idea. But it would probably be tolerable if they were more active in dealing with anti-RP activities.

    Adding more RP servers won't help anything because they'll just get flooded with the same achievement stealing non-RPers as before.

    Basically if your whole community, guild, and friend network is on Faeblight and has been since Headstart... then no. It makes no sense to transfer off. Particularly if you're an active RPer.

    Anti-RPers can just leave. Those Shard Tags need to mean something eventually. :]
    Perspective: I don't go onto a PvP Shard and trash-talk the PvP game, expecting to be a welcomed member of the local community.

    Default Queue times for Feablight

    These new 25+ minute queues are unexcusable for a pay-to-play, ESPECIALLY when these are due to consciously merging servers.

    Be nice to see a reduction in queues, not an increase... Every weekend that faeblight is open for transfers it seems to get worse

    So far as I can tell, population is overall growing now, so I'd expect that even without transfers.

    1st time poster, long time listener. I joined Faeblight due to the perception of a nice community, which for the most part is true. But I thought there was another RP shard. Why was it closed?
