Not even Loft & Job can login instantaneous at the launch moment.
(unless the launch event is just the flipping of a switch that enables none-local/-Dev connections.)
... Burp

So who is going to run something similar as that, currently dead, "hnh_vs_salem_24hour" page

I think by "at launch" op means the first day or so.

~2k first couple of days, 1k first 2 weeks, 600-700 first month, a bit less most of the time, and when everything goes stale 150-200

How is going to go stale, they've stated that there will be regular updates Ala' Worlds 1-4

Raiding mechanics in salem are designed for carebears. Its very time (and rl money) consuming to raid. And protecting from basically everyone other than few most high stat players on server is very easy. Build brickwall and few braziers maybe town claim = youre basically unraidable by most of chars on salem. But still many carebears quit because "risk of being raided" is too high. (totally not if you build brickwall and braziers)

Ahhhhh, see... That just reinforces my experience of "Salem is too Easy."

Which is why I'm waiting for Haven.

They also stated that they would keep regularly updating Haven during the development of Salem...

This thread and the above quote made me go back and look through this announcement and I have to say knowing what we know now, it is interesting to read some of the predictions people had.
