Hello, I really appreciate all the hard work you guys are putting into the new lordaeron server, but I was just wondering if you guys plan on adding a few more players to the playercap? I remember reading in the newsfeed that you guys had 11000 players online and around 600 in que, which is amazing, but it seems that during peak hours if you havn't logged in, your stuck waiting a very long time to get in. if 11000 players is the max you can go on one server, is it possible to open a 2nd server with the exact same rules so more ppl can play? maybe like a lordaeron 1 and lordaeron 2 exact same server just divide the players a bit to lower que times. lmk what you think about the idea?

Will que times be shortened for lordaeron in the future?

you can donate and skip the que as long as you buy an item worth 5 coins or more, mind you it only lasts a month. or you can just wait until deathwing/rag are merged, there's some people who are only playing on lord while they wait for lords core to be put onto a higher rated realm. once that happens you likely won't see a que anymore.

Well, seeing that warmane practically is lordaeron now i think they will increase that cap to anticipate more new players to come. You will see that coming.

No new realm will be opened. We will be working on optimizing this one as much as possible, but as you know 11,000 players already is an impressive feat.

There is so much wrong with this post that it's just so sad. Not sure why he sounds so butt hurt. Warmane is 1 "company" and donating to this is just that, a donation. There is no paying for the realm you play on, if you donate its because you choose to help the community out, not because Warmane should be forced to give you freebie's for your donation. At Warmane its the community that matters the most and the community said they didn't want a lot of P2W junk on Lord. If you had it your way Lordaeron would just be completely ruined just like how Molten-wow was completely junk with all their P2W junk in their cash shop. I'd rather Warmane find better and more lucrative ways of making money then letting players fast track themselves to getting geared.

and i kekd again. how can it be wrong if even staff did mention this - lord doesnt make revenue, due to players on it not donating (cuz all they want - not spending their money on game). lordaeron exist only cuz of donation of players from all different realms - is it clear for you now or still not? and about P2W - this was discussed so many times - there is very so much difference between all bis gear available on old realms ( on dw/rg example - those realms are 4-5 years old, they are already filled by full bis chars) and bis gear available on progressive realm (this will never happen, at least until all raid content will be released, cuz it will just ruin the realm). if u still butthurt cuz of p2w, i feel sorry for ya

I saw that post to, but there was also another post(s) floating around that have stated that there is not donating for a single expansion/server. That when players donate, that's just exactly what it is. Just a donation to the community. What you spend coins on is up to you. So we seem to have a schism here, so its either one or the other and it's also (as I'm sure you're aware) up to the staff to give players reasons to donate. If they so choose not to do so, that'd be on them and i'm assuming that was an oversight at first.
Also you moving forward, you say Lord "doesn't" make revenue. I feel this is a bit of a misconception and I could be wrong here, but with players being given the right to skip queue there is now a way for Lordaeron to make some money, all though i'm not sure how much gets generated during a monthly basis, but I would bet it's increased since their last post and this is a great direction for them to continue moving forward in as well. Players should be able to purchase faction changes, race changes, level boost, etc with coins and this could easily allow players to skip queues as well, thus allowing Lord to generate some extra revenue without ruining the game the interest of fair play.
and no it's not very clear as I feel you got somethings wrong that I was easily able to point out.
"there is very so much difference between all bis gear available on old realms ( on dw/rg example - those realms are 4-5 years old, they are already filled by full bis chars) and bis gear available on progressive realm (this will never happen, at least until all raid content will be released, cuz it will just ruin the realm). if u still butthurt cuz of p2w, i feel sorry for ya"
What? Anyways, whatever. Point is selling Raid gear of any sort ruins the game for many as Raganos has been absolute proof of this. What is this. Players that have no idea what they are doing with their class and our fresh endgame toons, all of sudden jump in gear score so now they have the 5k gs but have no freaking clue how to use it and what happens? Either they find out the hard way that this game isn't all about gearscore and feel jipped out of their money or other players that have both gearscore and the skill to play their class have to put up with theses P2W players and let's not forget about the players that get benched because maybe they have a lower gear score then the guy that bought his gear, but know's how to play his class far better and probably deserves to be in that raid over the other guy. So many people get screwed over by P2W, sure it might help a few, but the damage is far to great and comes across far to greedy on many different levels.Edited: February 23, 2016
