Trion worlds used their 5 days of headstart launch to fix several in
game issues, and it seems they also used that time to devise a plan
about how to handle the massive influx of players style="font-style: italic;">Rift is
receiving.  The only real knock on style="font-style: italic;">Rift thus far has
been the lengthy server queues that dogged the first 5 days of
gameplay, and many wondered how these same servers would handle the
crushing weight of those that didn’t pre-order – the simple answer from
Trion: href="http://forums.riftgame.com/showthread.php?99793-**-New-NA-Shards-UNLOCKED-9-00am-PST-**-Head-Start-Shards-UNLOCKED-**">they
won’t have to.  In a bold move href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/95919">31 new servers
went live this morning for players just entering the game and
for an hour they were the only servers available as the headstart
servers went into lock down.



While many of the headstart players were upset about not being able to
play for an hour (perish the thought that they may want to sleep,
shower, eat or maybe even go outside), the overwhelming sentiment was
that this was a pro move and showed a nice bit of planning by the
devs.  The only potential downside could come in a few months
if players don’t re-up their subscriptions and the shards become ghost
towns, but I have a sneaking suspicion that won’t be the case.
