this might have been covered already if it has I'm sorry. Will this game have as many servers as City of Heroes had? that might be why it felt like nobody was online/ playing because there were 12-15 servers (freedom, protector, ect.) my opinion is we should have 1,2 or maybe 3 servers that way each world is populated, but it also depends on how much people each world can handle.
P.S. I was playing on protector server, anyone else call that home?
Smoker6- Fire/Ice blaster-Protector
Avenger of Heroes- Broadsword/inv Scrapper- Protector
They have said that they are going to go for a single server set up, and instead have "base" instances (RP, PvE, PvP) that you can choose to go into.
Those base instances will then spawn additional instances as and when they are needed. Please note: the "base" instances are something that I just remember being mentioned, so that might well change as they hammer down details.
However, they *HAVE* confirmed the "single server" setup.
