== Content ==
			
Carbine I understand your fear that if you create a bunch of new servers and the player base declines later that you will have to recombine servers like you did originally.  Unlike the first time you can't really add a 3rd name for characters so that names will be unique (well you could but that would be a bit much).
 
So here is my two cents: create X-number of additional PvE servers and Y-number of PvP servers... BUT (and this is the important part), keep the character and guild names unique across all servers of the same type.
 
That is character and guild names across all PvE servers must be unique, likewise with PvP.
 
This way you can reduce server load, queue times, etc. and if you need to collapse servers in the future it can be done relatively painlessly (from a player point of view).
 
I understand that there are likely some technical issues with this approach, esp with how character/guild creation is done.  It may offer the quickest and relatively easiest solution to the problem.  Then again I don't know your code base, so this may be the worst idea ever.
 
Thanks for your effort Carbine... looking forward to enjoy the game more and more as the dust continues to settle from this f2p launch.

			You do not understand servers my friend. They are using mega-servers which you add clusters (extra space - capacity - etc)... All they need to do is add on! However my hunch is that they do not have the equipment on hand and it is on route perhaps..? They cannot say anything to the user base or there would be ww2 going on. Or the higher ups wont let them expand and spend the money needed to give us capacity. Perhaps? What you think?

So much no to this.  The game does not need more servers, we've been through this already as you mentioned.
 
Lots of the new f2p players won't be around long and once Carbine gets these server performance issues fixed, they'll raise capacity as they already said they would.
 
Patience.

			Why would they spend money on that, some ppl will leave the game anyway, that happens with every game

I'm as annoyed as other people with the down time and the lag and terrible state of things at the moment....
 
But, and this is a big but...
 
We've already been through this once. I was one of those unlucky few that ended up on a dead server after the population exodus last year. Server merges are never the answer as by then it's already too late, people have already left.
 
Couple that with them using clusters now, adding more just wouldn't work. They could increase capacity but that won't increase stability. Throwing more space at the problem won't fix anything, we'll just be back here again in another year complaining our servers are empty. We just need them to get on top of the ones they have now, not add any more to it.

I mean, all those telling , people will leave wait and relax. But they did this to get people here. Like this will force people away and they will earn less money. How could they not been prepared, why isnt any game that went F2P prepared, it been like this all the time. And the answer is, we didnt know. What? And when they do know, all scream more servers and all else no not more servers, people will leave soon. Eh?
 
Yes, becasue they cant play. Not because they dont want to play. And then all sit and relax, all others leave, you come back and can play on empty server. Fun?
 
Or the other part, all stop playing and come back later and the problem still exist, cause all left and came back. Server still gonna be full then, right? Yes, they still didnt fix it. Cause they who stayed had all fixed and C didnt have a problem anymore and now you are back and ruin it again. Crap!!
 
My only problem with this is the Silence, they dont talk. Just smal updates. None high up coming down and every day saying/writing something, no staff telling anything more than. Thank you for your patience. Doesnt work.
 
Game might have gone F2P but many still pays and get nothing for it. Compensation? Free days? Anything, oh yes, I dont know, cause they dont tell anything. Nothing!

Well i know they are expensive, and the reason why it maybe wont be more servers. Like I said, the other part is more my issue atm. The silence.
 
And people just telling others it will befixed if all just left, because that would be just the last thing they would want.
