Hi everyone. New guy here. Can't help but notice the 2-3 hour queue to join Icecrown, as well as some people complaining about lag.
It's got me wondering: instead of all this hate, why not host a mirror-copy of Icecrown? Double the number of players, half the lag, half the hate, right?
Also, increased capacity, increased potential for profit. I mean, right now I'm tempted just to **** off to a different server because, despite being a patient man, it's quick; it's easy; and it's cheaper than this money-grubbing 'donate to skip the queue' concept that I find somewhat repugnant.
However, following the money-grubbing mentality for a sec, it's in your best interest to let players invest time and effort into your server BEFORE you try squeeze money out of them. Maybe even give them a little something for free, to enhance the illusion of being too far gone to go simply migrate to a different server.
Anyway, just some food for thought, coming from a guy that just wants to play a videogame without waiting for 2 hours. That said, if there IS, in fact, a plan for another server, and being a new guy I missed that, cool! Can't wait.
