Just a thought about the start of Ob
 

I was thinking about my new character in OB and realised that slimes are going to be crowded. So at first it may take a little more time than usual to level from 1-5 or so.

My thought about OB was something like this:

"OMG why u KS my slime!"
"L> KQ 1111111"
"U go other map"

I do agree fully with what you stated though, seeing that the Sea of Tides isn't somewhere you want to go to unless you know where the stupid Speedy Slimes won't come to.

Wouldn't the second server be open by then?

there are so many slimes and mushrooms ksing is gonna be impossible <<
servers have max capacities :D

The second server should be open by then, but seeing that everyone has to train there at the beginning (and more people will be coming in), it would be more crowded than usual.

Edit: Maybe you're right. I do notice that monsters spawn quickly.

Apoline will most definately be up by OB lol...+ it wont matter much if the OB version is anything like the CB2 version...not one will stick around long.

Its inevitable that the slimes will be overcrowded..its was bad during cb1 first off...

Yeah, but with CB1 there was control over the numbers. Open Beta's not going to have as limited players as CB1, so expect some serious lag and chaos in the newbie zones. Personally I'm just going to create my character to get the name I want, and then abandon it for a week or so while things calm down in the spawn points/KQ. KQ's are going to be a pain all over again, seriously is frustrating when people aren't competent enough to either accept advice or understand their KQ roles.

I heard you kept ur characters name once you got lvl 20.

Although it just might be a rumor.

You do, but I don't think that affects CB2 players.

@ above two posters

Names were kept for players in CB1 who had any character over level 20 in their account. Nearing the end of CB1 many rumours were spread about the wipe of character statistics (where everyone's character would get nerfed to level 1). People believed this, while also believing that they would keep their chosen names. What they didn't realise was that neither of the two can happen at once. You either lose your character or keep your name. If the server is wiped, there isn't any way for names to be kept without keeping the characters themselves.

True i never really thought it that way.

Simply put events will be bad 2. But considering the majority of people have school......... well if the release at a bad time i think it will all work out well : D

if slimes do become overcrowded maybe the gms will spawn more so people can keep moving? there's always a chance

Character reset to level 1, no experience? Surely that's possible...

From the official forums.

This post no longer exists.

I'm going to play it as soon as open beta starts so there will be less people then. And after a few hours is when the kids would probably start to play and by then I'd be level 10.

^how so? Most people will be getting in right away. It probably depends on how long it takes to download it.

The download server is probably gonna be slow as hell. Slimes are gonna be full. KSing will be everywhere. Hell on earth. D:

Its going to be a race to level 20.

Tch I just want my name after seeing how many look alikes/diffrent versions of it today.

D: its upsetting we lose our characters, after all of our hard work.

Exactly why you don't see me trying to uber level.

That's why i'm dancing it up @ Elderine all the time l0l.

I just am gettng higher so i can play in areas with friends. When school starts up again i will have no time T_T

I download really fast... It only took me under 20 minutes to download the last client and that was when they were stress testing and like oodles of people came.

on of my guild mates had the idea they could do 10 minute segments of openings

he said start off with cbt1, 10 minutes later go to cbt2 testers(leaving cbt1 testers in), then cbt3 if they hav the 3rd, still havent heard a good hint to an answer


i mean if they are going to wine about the testing being unfair make it a bit closer by doing that, its not like we will hav more than 5 lvls in 10 minutes

i like the idea, better than completely opening if u ask me

opinions?

Usually doing shift+z in town makes me go smooth if im looking for a npc. but if i do it for maybe a minute and go back to non hiding then i go smoother as well... thats how i counter lag in towns.

ive had computer problems since cbt1, shift z is my life basically

i hav a 10 year old comp and i need a new one, ive upgraded the hard drive for memory, the ram, and the graphics card for fiesta

i think u should be able to do shiftz in a monster area too, thew reply to trying is "Please try again in a few minutes"

i still get lag from the cities in character hide tho

edit:roumen works for character hide so u could fight the slimes but you would probably lag even more than regular mode because the monsters that die dont disapear, if u stay in character hide in roumen for like 30 minutes and walk to the slimes there are usually 400+

One question... Do they wipe at end of OB?

bro your computer is really old if you got graphics on low... lol. I got an imbedded card and i run decent with everything on high.

If you're over lvl 20, you can keep your name.

10 year old gateway with xp 2000 and a 128mb graphics card and 512 ram

i hav absolutely no money but theres a mountain of crap at school i can grab watever i want from it if i feel like stealing some ram or watever

I'm asking bout OB... So they wipe at end of OB? I know they do it for CB but some games allow you keep characters in OB
