Thread: Issue Concerning Our Server Israphel (Shall We Stay?)

(or even the only late night player here, as I saw several people checking the site at 3am pacific time this morning ). But I digress...

I think we should consider the east coast servers where west coast / late players are still likely to go and play. There are a few factors that would make this more likely.



1) Are there lots of guilds going there with hybrid east - west populations? This is kind of challenging to determine.

2) Is it a really populous server? - The more people there are, the more likely there are people from numerous different time zones.

3) Is it the unofficial roleplay server? - West coasters will choose the unofficial roleplay server to play on even if it is an east coast server, meaning there will be a healthy mix of people to play with at all times... Currently the discussion on Aion Source lists Zikel and Lumiel (both east coast), as the potential choices for labeling "roleplay".



And between Zikel and Lumiel, Zikel is slated to be the better populated server (higher on the selection list, and more players committed to going there already).

Of course, there's a 4th consideration - will there be lots of Asmodian's there to kill? (this is a big one for me... I chose Israphel because there were a lot of opposition guilds going there, and I was looking forward to killing them all )

I think we'll know later tonight if Zikel will be the roleplay server or not. I believe some of the polls are still going through. I will be keeping tabs on it. I am with ya when you say you want to be on a server where there's a decent amount of people on at all times. Zikel looks the most promising at the moment (More populated than Israphel maybe?)
