I guess I missed all the dev related content there but now that I've just started a new toon there, I was really glad to see all the players the server had attracted. This game is just SO much more fun with teams to me..... Great to see all you folks out there. |

There were 9 last night when I was fiddling with a Traps/Beam defender.
yeah... I will roll some new Characters... but wait a few months before I even start thinking about moving any 50's over there.
It's funny to stand there and watch the colorful names pass through at the spawn point.

Wasn't there a Dev event on Exalted last night? When I logged in there were Warwalkers all over AP.

If it stays at or above "Freedom-level" I think my stay there will be VERY short-lived.
You guys think the level 50 trial runs will get more active? I think I have added all the chat channels that are posted in this server section, but it seemed pretty quite for that kind of stuff. I presume most are working on new toons so thats the reason. Moved one of my 50s over hoping to try the new trial but it's been a ghost town...so I am on the fence of maybe going back to my home server. Would like to have a 50 on the VIP server for dev related events.

I had a discussion with someone in the Rikti War Zone about this Wednesday night. Basically, the vast majority of toons on Exalted at the moment are lowbies. Most people are waiting for the free server transfers to kick in next week before moving over their level 50 toons. Me? I paid the $6 to transfer over a few toons on Wednesday. But we're in the minority. That's why I'm waiting until next week before running a Rikti mothership raid.|

In short, it should get better after the free server transfers become available next week.

I think you'll see more 50s as time goes on. I started characters there for both the name-grabs and because there's new sets and revamped zones and I figured where better to try a new set in a "new" zone with a new character than on a new server? But that means they're all level 1-10 right now.

This only because there are some people Sooooo attached to their toon names that they reserve them on every server. Ok, so I did that for my Old global name, but come to find out that's even Super-Extremely-Rare online(as I've only ever had a single hit on google that wasn't me in the 10+yrs I've had it) so I'm not concerned personally. :-p

I fully expect that within a few weeks time Exalted, the ViP server, will become known as The itrial server. All itrials, all the time, with very little lowbie groups running.

My SG started migrating 50's and leveling new ones pretty quickly. I've been able to pull together a few late night ITF/STF's but everyone is still running sub 30s and not even looking at 50's yet. Give it a week for some of the Beam/Time toons to hit 50, maybe another for IO's and people should be back running lvl 50 stuff. I hope to see steady trials running in by then.

I got onto a big safeguard team the other night, with my Grav/FF. I forgot how fun/chaotic big teams can be, plus the find everything and deal with ambushes of safeguards. It was great, thus far I am really pleased with Exalted. I'm really looking forward to getting on a team with my AR/Sonic, for me that build just seems team perfect. Through some buffs, shoot stuff, profit.

We attempted a BAF and Lambda a couple hours ago. As the server grows, the population increases and 50's emerge or transfer in, more will run. You can also try joining BMT of Exalted or Exalted Incarnates (for 50's). Both channels are open as well is Exalted Events which is a sister channel for teams, pugs, contests, raids and other social activities. The more these and other channels grow, the better the opportunity for trials going on a regular basis.

Nice, I will add this channel to my list..I believe I have the rest so. looking forward to running with all you VIPs
"if I am guilty for what goes on in my mind, than give me the electric chair for all my future crimes"
Why so many channels?
BMT of Exalted and Exalted Events seem to be the same thing, and my channel list is full! I won't join them all. In time, I may have to drop Exalted Events (the one I joined) in order to join Exalted Incarnates. Such a shame to have 3 channels when 1 will function well. I don't think there will be too much traffic if all 3 channels merged. It's actually Virtue's fault (my native server), which has multiple TF channels, multiple badge channels, and multiple LFG channels.
Please learn by example and don't let the channels run amok like in Virtue. ONE channel (and it's spillovers) can do everything. ONE channel is efficient. The only reason I can see for having an Exalted Incarnates is for snobby elitist reasons.
Please, mods of all 3 channels, get together, choose one, and shut the others down! One global channel for events is all we need! What will happen if there's multiples of all 3 channels? We'll never be able to get together! I have chosen one and will miss out! I'm not giving up any more channels.

The thing is, a global channel can only hold 2,000 people. Not 2,000 at a time. 2,000 total. So, there probably is a need for two channels. What I personally find redundant is that BMT of Exalted and Exalted Events have the exact same channel ops. They're basically run by the same people.|

I imagine it'll all settle down in a few months. There'll be one or two channels running, and the others will slowly die off. In the meantime, we have a dozen Exalted global channels because everyone and their mother wants to be king of their own sandbox.
