How many different "worlds" are there supposed to be? Someone posted and gave me the hint that maybe there's more than one?

All I have for options is "World 1" and then there's a <insert number (usually 40-60)>%. What's the % mean?

I'm curious because I can't connect to any servers, and this has piqued my curiosity.

I have seen at most 4 servers. They are added as needed. Each one will hold 100 people and a new one is added as some set level is reached I believe. The population has been so low I havent seen the % above 15. The percent numbers you see are the total people in that world, and since each server only holds 100 people, its actually a count of the people on that server/world.

We had a lot of players yesterday 50%+

Last nite I saw that figure go up to 93%...

adios,
biterman.

Holy smoke!

So what happens once it hits 100%? Does a new world open right then and there? I take it that you can play your character on any world thats open too.

I don't know if a new world is created automatically or not but I do know that there is a queue system for when a world gets full. For most of the beta there was 4 worlds. They reduced it to one a short time ago. I can only speculate for load testing reasons?

So my guess is that if world-1 reaches 100% then the queue would start. Its also possible that theyare watching for this to happen/get close and will then open some more worlds.

Four is the number of the most servers we have ever had up at one time. Currently, there is only one world up and running. Should we max out that server's capacity, we will then open up a new one. I think we a total of 7 worlds that are all patched up and ready to go whenever we need, but we have plenty more hardware around to make more worlds if need be.

funy, steve said he had 20 worlds ready to go in game yesterday :P
