Here's a link to the SOE thread: http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?topic_id=173676

With Fippy reaching max population in the first 5 minutes, SOE is opening another server. The second time locked progression server will be named Vulak'Aerr.

edit: The server is live already.

There are people complaining bitterly on the official forums. It's even more entertaining than usual. I hate to think what will happen to some of these people when they are old enough to fly on airplanes and a flight gets delayed, let alone cancelled.

"What! You're not letting me board this plane right now? I've been waiting to board for 45 minutes!!1!!11 This is the LAST time I ever fly Delta!"

Would not be at all surprised if they add another one after that. I haven't even gotten home from work yet.

I was looking forward to logging into Fippy tonight, too. *sad panda*

If Sony didn't open a second server, any potential revenue their "free two weeks" promotion could've brought in vanishes. If people can't log in to the one server they want to play, they don't resub. It's really that simple. I came back specifically for the PTL server, and I'm not resubbing until I'm actually physically able to PLAY on one.

In hindsight they are probably wishing they had announced launching 3-4 of them to be merged after a few weeks as (or if) warranted. Chat from login screen had 80ish people in it a while ago, only talking about progression.


Anyone reading these forums lately knows I am a fan of the concept. As an after-work EST player I couldn't get in today which is fine (glad to see it's busy). The forum upset will hit new heights when the pacific after work crowd tries to play...



My challenge now is landing on the 2nd (or 3rd) or whatever with the people I was hoping to play with... and us having the luck of the draw of having a sustainable player-base prog. server.

Granted, having a server name that was only open for an extremely short time might actually make me want to show it.

As long as they don't tie multiple progression servers progression to each other (and create the stupid racing again) I am happy.

They're in a situation that has no winning option. Not opening more servers makes people mad. Opening more makes people confused and mad. Merging the servers causes all kinds of problems down the road but is inevitable anyway. You would think though, that they knew how many people had resubscribed and had some idea how many people would be hitting Fippy. I agree, they should have announced 2 servers right from the start so the players could have planned better.

Even of you could log in right now, there aren't any mobs to kill unless you're in Innothule Swamp. Really there was no way anyone playing / trying to play today is going to have a trouble free experience.
