Pvp servers.

I'm older and don't always understand how things work in the management of game systems. My question is, that when we have a pvp event there are more servers available. Is there a reason they couldn't be activated permanently so we can avoid the 200 person queues?

✭✭Given the choice, Id prefer the population caps increase.
This is just a guess, but I imagine that they're monitoring this already. Since the server population was larger, then reduced to try and improve performance, and now the performance has improved for other reasons, I would expect them at least consider raising the population caps again.
Given how passionate and sometimes touchy the community can be where this is concerned, what I would not expect them to do is jump into it hastily.

✭✭✭✭✭They add more campaigns to handle the larger population influx that is specifically due to the event.
Outside of the even most people flock to one campaign. If the queues start getting longer with the improvement of server performance then Zenimax should consider increasing the population cap instead of adding more servers.

✭They add them only temporarily because most of those campaigns would be empty when there's not an event going on.
About raising the population caps, I would be very cautious and proceed slowly and progresively. We don't know if the new servers could handle an increase, what we know is that Cyro is working fine as it is right now. we don't want to go back to bad performance.3 -

✭✭They can add new campaigns anytime, it's not hard. A couple years back they didnt have enough to handle how popular a certain event was and had more campaigns available in an hour or two. When the game was more popular we had 6-8 pvp campaigns available all the time.
I'm not on PC, is it really that busy in Blackreach etc? Or is Grey Host the only consistently pop locked one?0 -

Last weekend there was a queue in Blackreach. It wasnt nearly as long as Greyhost, but there was one. Greyhost is usually more populated though.0 -

✭✭Whatever they do, I hope it's slow and steady, and they are willing to back it off if it goes wrong. Higher pop or more servers. Just take a slow, thoughtful approach2 -

Yes! Let's keep the performance we have then slowly bump them up. Blackreach is a great flowover spot while you wait for the GH queue to pop.Crispen Longbow - Daggerfall Covenant (DC): NB - Rank:50 (NA/PC) - RIP (Blue VE, Khole, LoM, MO)

Region locked servers and a increasing cost to faction swapping would help.0
