[Sensei]

I'll probably be playing Deus Ex and Humble Bundle games until the wipe hits. Don't want to burn out on PS2 early. I'll be back in as soon as it happens though.

[Volatar]

I'll probably play on one of the big servers myself until the wipe. I've been in the mood for bigger battles anyways.

[timferius]

Excellent, they released the server names ahead of time:

US East:

Themisto
Leda
Himalia

US West:

Metis
Adrastea
Amalthea

EU:

Thyone
Herse
Chaldene

So, which one is it?

Themisto... the other names sound elf-ey

[Glowcat]

Darn, it looks like I was beaten to the punch. Instead, I'll be informative and post links to the people each East Coast server refer to!

Themisto

Leda

Himalia

I've also got a suspicion that, judging from the announcement of East Coast servers going down on the 19th all evening, that they'll bring the new servers up on the 20th. This is just a speculative hunch though.

[timferius]

Also, for the poor souls who can't get it running:

"he team is working on a bug preventing some people from logging in. We have a repro case. Hope to have it killed tonight."

[Techhead]

I figure they are going to synchronize the wipe with the next major Certification rebalancing. That way they minimize the butt-hurt from people complaining that they spent 1k points in a category that got cut to half-price.

[Volatar]

My vote goes to Leda. I like the sound of the name.

[timferius]

My vote goes to Leda. I like the sound of the name.

The one seduced by SwanZeus?

[Volatar]

My vote goes to Leda. I like the sound of the name.

The one seduced by SwanZeus?

As I said, I just like the name. Screw mythology.

[Sensei]

No Hephaestus server? I am disappoint.

[Techhead]

Sensei, they're all named after women from Greek mythology. Half of them are women Zeus slept with. (Leda, Thyone (aka Seleme), Metis, Himalia, nad Chaldene) Two of the others were Zeus's foster parents, which brings about Oedipan imagery in this context. (Amalthea and Adrastea) Finally, Themisto and Herse were never involved with Zeus, unless you count the other Herse, who was Zeus's daughter.

So, for a Hephaestus server, he would have to be female, and would probably also have slept with Zeus.

[Sensei]

Sensei, they're all named after women from Greek mythology. Half of them are women Zeus slept with.

That's exactly the thing! Maybe Zeus is symbolic of SOE. In the story of Leda and the Swan, SOE disguises upgrades for cash as sidegrades.

And then, just like in the story, you get fucked.

Yeah, but Zeus slept with just about allwomen in ancient greece.

[jocan2003]

Great server just chose to go down for no known reason cutting everyone who was in game without notice...
