Warhammer Info from James on Server Caps

James popped by the boards this morning with this little gem. For anyone curious or frustrated about the Realm is Full message and wondering what it means for release day!
Hey guys,
We realize queues are an inconvenience but they're necessary for high traffic times like launch. It is our plan to not have you encounter these frequently but they can be expected at least some hours of the day for the first few days as the game gets underway.
We start caps off on the low end to ease traffic in new player areas, we estimate the number of servers we'll need by demand (box sales, beta history, past phases, etc.) and roll out more (starting at the same low end cap) as we need them.
As players spread throughout the game and congestion in the new player areas eases we will lift the cap gradually over time until we reach our max.
This is to provide you with the best service and stability so that when you do get in game you can enjoy your time there and make your way through the content with little stress and hassle.
Thanks guys
