Oh yeah my bad I thought you meant login queues like when 5.0 releases. That does sound bad.
I'll have to look into it myself a little bit, I transferred back in 4.0 launch to the EU DC on a new server for no Raubahn Extreme and better ping, I'm not too sure how the EU DCs are split. Since I don't have any attachment to my server though I can just transfer out for free whenever they do that. Our EU DCs are going to be much smaller however, wonder what kind of impact it'll have.
I'm also not a fan of having marketboards being "shared", without actually being shared.
I think they should merge them if they're gonna let people buy stuff anywhere, so we don't have to rely on the inevitable 3rd party website which will track prices across servers and switch servers to buy stuff low. I'd be fine with either markets being still server based(no selling or buying on another server), or just merging it all into one big market and let people deal with it this way. Might be some technical limitations though but without being able to sell everywhere, you'll still have to check the prices on other servers to price your stuff properly, which sounds like a pain in the ass.
I'm sure it won't matter for smaller items since the inconvenience of having to go change worlds just to buy 10 potions of dex is probably not worth the lower price, on shit like new armor/crafting gear/mounts/hairstyle and all the stuff that's expensive, it'll be worth moving to a different server to save 2+millions or whatever.
