Just crashed again after being up for only a few minutes. From what I'm reading on the forums people are giving up on the server and going back to Uthgard (which I won't do because my two favorite classes aren't fully implemented). RIP Origins.

Uthgard population on average during Origins launch - 175 - 275
Origins average population - 1.1k

Uthgard current population after Origins "isn't playable" and unable to be logged onto - 400

Keep an eye on that over the next few days because unless this server issue is fixed that 400 will slowly climb back toward 1.1k, maybe even not slowly.

I wish you guys were around for the launch of P99 where the only viable place to get to 50 was SolA, and that was by doing Gnomes because Guk and SolB had TERRIBLE exp. It would take 3 kills to get one blue 'tick'.

Not even close to the problem Origins is having right now though. I'll take that sort of problem any day over a critical and frequent server stability issue.

What's to enjoy? It's cold, it's gonna snow again, gas costs too much...

Some people see the glass as half full, some see it as half empty, some wonder why people even bother to think about it.

This shit has been out less than a week with a population more than double what they expected. Chill the hell out and give them time to work it out. Like seriously, it's been released for less than a week. What the hell do you expect out of a free shard?

Shoulda went Albion. That realm has 10% of the realm related problems I see everyone bitching about. And man.. their forums right now are jokes. Broken English is thriving.


"I get my mad cuz server say play but I on character and play not? Gms dum or you work server bad not cuz I back to Uthgard"

They screwed some code up, bad. They even said as much. They were attempting to fix zerg xp and make some performance improvements and screwed something up bad. It's not a population issue because zones freeze and the server crashes even with under 500 players. Someone screwed some code up bad enough that the server is unplayable, and if they don't fix it soon the server will die and people will go back to Uthgard and laugh about it. That's just how it is. It's probably already happening but I don't bother with Uthgard anymore.

What's up Nune, talk to Snoogy or Unclecreeper for a guild tag btw. Great group of people, totally not related to this servers IB apparently.

I had this nasty bug last night, where I couldn't even bring the trainer window up, I worked it out with a clean install+patch. For those people with WinXP, just use the patch and forget about the launcher, it isn't needed to play there.

I've the lvl 7 aug healer in Mid, Jude! Although, I just found out most of my peoples are in Hibernia already, talk about miscommunication prior to playing a new server. But other than that one thing with the trainer window, I haven't had any issues playing in Midgard so far, I'm talking like 2-3 hrs in a row without any hicups whatsoever.

IF you're thinking about rerolling on Mid, make a dwarf/kobold <anyclasshere>! Dwarf Nation!

What Goobles said about P99 launch is correct, all these freeshards that pop up, did NOT have the population they have now, and they weren't as polished as they are now either. You're forgetting some simple truths here, P99 came up in late 2009, and Uthgard in 2005 (or thereabout)!

Uthgard especially...I played it back in 2006-2007, when its top population was 60 at peak times, because alot of things on it weren't working, period, and there were other servers that had shit working already.

It takes time for new servers to mature, it's alot like that with live games also. If they were so perfect on release, there wouldn't be so many patches thereafter! Anyone want to remember what EQ was like on it's release in 1999??
