    Well done OP. Very entertaining read. I look forward to trying something similar in the next Beta.

    Sneak hides the icon and bar over  your head, only when outside of sneak or spotted can you see the icon.

    Slowly but clearly people are starting to understand that this game needs open world PvP server.

     

    So, did ESO have a successful launch? Yes, yes it did.By Ryan Getchell on April 02, 2014.

    That's what Cyrodiil is....and there are going to be 20+ campaigns/servers to join.

    If you want PvP - you never have to leave. It is full "open world PvP".

    People who want to PvE don't have to enter Cyrodiil.

     

    PvE & PvP can be separately balanced....it seems like a pretty sweet setup.

    They will cap the Cyrodiil campaign/servers at  ~ 3000, 1000 per side. So the number of servers will depend on the player base. 20 is only 60,000 players... expect more like several hundred :)

     I thought it was 2000 per campaign, from ESO-wikia. Did they change it?

    Awesome post!! Enjoyed reading that and it shows that being patient and seeking other forms of war are there for choosing...

     Not trying to nitpick the numbers of players Cyro, I just remember readin that and found it strange in trying to divide 2000 three ways. Maybe the info I read is wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.  image

    2000 is the number of players they want in Cyrodiil at a time for performance reasons. But 3000 is the actual cap since not everyone will be there all the time. There will be queues at times I'm sure - especially the first week.

    Well, that certainly makes more sense. I'm not that bad at math, so this re-affirms my sanity. Thank you.
