A one month release server as the main server would be a bad bad idea. Selo launched with Mangler and while selo was fun for 6 months it averaged 350 people a day online after that while mangler averaged 2k. I still don't see why they waste their time with servers that are going to average less...

IMO next server rules should be - Mangler ruleset - All keying / flagging requirements are removed No it wont be as good as a mischief style server, but it will be better than Yelinak and allows for a Mischief style server the following year.

New UI has far more risk honestly. I wish they would beta test it for 4+ months or so before doing live with it.

IMO Vaniki style servers are just not worth the dev and support time. Vaniki topped out at about 500 players and dropped pretty quick to where it averages 150 a day now 8 months in. Yelinak has not been a good server yet still averages 1400 daily 8 months in. The only positive thing about...

If they do a mischief clone, not sure I want them to do a 2nd server for overflow this time. The transferring of items from one server to another causes issues. It would be nice to see another mischief without the plat dupe and the loot exploits fixed.

Would be funny considering Yelinak releases Omens in June.

Main issue with fast expansion release servers are they just die far to fast. IMO 2 months is the minimum per major expansion outside class/kunark.

Whatever they do, they should do it in late Feb or early March. Current servers are dying really fast.

Most gear will still have level restrictions on it so I guess I am not against removing the level requirement for zones as well as part of a no key/flag server.

My only though would be to keep zone level restrictions in place. Beyond that remove all key/flagging requirements for zoning in or looting in zones.

- No key/flagging server

I know the most people that have played on TLPs happened from March 2020 to Aug 2020 or so. Mangler had 3k+ on every night during pop and Aradune released but the servers craped the bed and messed that one up.

Main issue with Mischief is that it makes every other server bad by comparison. If they bring out Mischief 2.0 say every other year it could just keep feeding that narrative. That might be a reason they wont do another mischief for a while.

Special severs are generally a waste of time and resources. Ya they last for 3-6 months maybe depending on their ruleset. But making a server which you know wont make it past 3 months with more than 300 people nightly doesnt make sense.

I am hoping for 2 servers with FV Server 1: FV with Bonus Loot Server 2: FV with Random Loot or Server 1: FV with Bonus and Random Loot Server 2: FV with all key/flag requirements removed

The game officially ends one month into OOW.

Ya but it only last 4 months out of the 12 months you got to wait for another new server.,

What they need is a end of the year new TLP server cause vaniki and yelinak are dead dead....

Really wish I had not lost pics of my 4 man box setup from 1999. Those CRT monitors stacked was glorious.

Only been taking spot data over the past few weeks as the pop had dropped so low I didnt think it was worth it much anymore. Vaniki pop 09/26/2022 9:22pm = 337 Yelinak pop 09/26/2022 9:23pm = 1362 Mischief pop 09/26/2022 9:27pm =1041 IMO neither server population is very good.

Thats a lot in a small case. I just really hate working with small cases when I do water cooling...

Here is a 7980xe delidded I built in 2017 with 2x 1080tis. This one used hard tube, the thing was a nightmare to break apart when I needed to diagnose issues.

SLI really died with the 2080ti but its dead dead now.

In my 28core 2x 2080ti build I did in 2019, I went kind of crazy with dual loops using 4x 560 rads in a monster case.

Guess delidding is going to be a thing again.

I have really tried to get away from water cooling lately. Its cool yes and it runs your stuff cooler or course but doing small things become a major issue when you need to break the loop everytime.

From what I heard is that nvidia is just wanting to milk the market. The crypto market is a huge loss for them and they need to keep their stock price high somehow.

Going to need two 1600 watts PSU for 2 4090 and a 96 core threadripper. Also going to need a 20 amp outlet to support this monster.

Vaniki averages about 160 people a night after the past week or so. I does peak up to the mid 200s at times though.

I mainly need the cpu power for running backtesting simulations for automated trading software. The more cores the better.

I want to upgrade my 2x 2080tis but cant find a cpu I like more than my w3175x 28 core. Wish intel would get back into making HEDT cpus again was hoping for some 38 and 54 core ones.

The hydro copper block was never as good as say a ek gpu block, but it was not that much worse.. The main advantage was the hydro copper came pre installed with a warranty.

I will miss evga always got their hydro copper cooled version because I hate putting water blocks on gpus.

Right now Yelinaks population is on average higher than Coirnav, Thornblade, was but lower than the rest of the TLPs since Agnarr. Its not much lower than Aradune was but we will see since its out of the 2 worst expansions if it grows any. At this point ranking at a similar time for each...

I quit during kunark and came back later in kunark and furor getting mad at me because my toon was missing all its non nodrop gear lol.

This wave was trigged by a dev who is currently in a guild on one of the new TLPs and was nudged into triggering this banwave by one of the few people who know they are a dev in the guild. I wont name names, but I know who is who.

The plat dupe hurt Mischief long term more than people realized. Defiantly cut its lifespan down by a significant portion.

I have to admit this is all pretty funny to me. People begged for tougher enforcement and this is what they got. People always want harm to others until it comes to them.

This wave hit a lot of what I would call normal players. People who play 1-2 chars and maybe use multiplicity, but defiantly imo not what they should be targeting. Unless their goal is to piss off normal players.

Yelinaks population fell by 400 last night. Now of course the pop declines every day after expansion release and we are 3 weeks out from kunark release. This was a pretty big wave and the losses are very noticeable.
