Server cloning worked well in my case, my server used to have half an hour wait at prime time for Destruction, now its down to 3 minutes max. In a further improvement to queues Mythic announced that they'll patch in a small change: If you crashed to desktop and log right back in, you skip the queue. As that was one of the major annoyances with queues, this is a good idea. On the downside of course queues will advance more slowly.
In other Warhammer Online news, Mythic published a FAQ about how the rest bonus works. That's the bonus to xp you accumulate when not online. Just like in WoW it is limited to a level and a half. But the numbers are slightly different. In WAR you get the basic bonus everywhere, +50% when you log out in a war camp or quest hub with the "you feel rested" message, +100% in Altdorf or the Inevitable City, and +150% in the guild leader's hall, a feature your guild acquires with rank. So right now I can only recommend flying to your main city before logging off.
Thanks for the update on XP. We have been talking about it in guild for awhile and no one was 100% sure how it worked.
ReplyDeleteI see the GMOTD having this info for a few days.

ReplyDeleteWon't people be able to circumvent that by intentionally crashing to desktop (via ctrl+shift+esc) and killing the process? I assume that they could log off at a main city, and that would guarantee they never wait in a queue.
That's an assumption on my part, I also assume Mythic will have something in place to prevent abuse of this sort, but I can't help but think this will be exploited somehow, at least until server populations are more stable and the queues are no longer needed.
