Crowdedness

This question is mostly for the devs. Are you guys anticipating full or mostly full servers in NS4? It seems like you are planning for it what with reserved slots for DMs, and I know that all of the different NS3 servers' player bases will be pooled, but are you actually anticipating servers that will be full, at least at peak gaming hours?

We don't know =) For all we know, people could completely shun NS4, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

I plan to go to all my old servers and say NS4 is finally open or sometin, but i'm gonna get banned so *shrug*

But, lately the wait has really really taken it's toll

Go there. Look at bugs. When the bugs are almost gone, NS4 will open. Honestly, would you rather play a sound module with little to no bugs or a module full of bugs, server crashes and vault wipes, not to mention lag?

If I could play a buggy mod now or a bugfree mod in a month I'd pick the buggy mod

If module is full of bugs, server crashes and lag then we wont see NS4 in few more months.

If the module that is full of bugs, crashes all the time and lags a lot is ns4 we'll see it a few days.. or weeks.. or months earlier.

Well from the bugtracker it looks like things are getting close, though it's hard to tell what an acceptable level of bugginess would be.
