Premium servers are normality in many MMOs and MMO-esque games. Go have a look around.This is an awesomely terrible idea! Why don't we have a thumbs down option in the "like" section?
VIP perks suggestion: Separate VIP only server(s) with max capacity of 250 accounts

That server would still lag , have memory leaks and FPS degradation yo

STO has multiple instances(ddo does too, but you never see them unless it's hardcore usually) the only laggy instances in STO are the ones that are close maxed out with 29+ players. We see well over 100 instances some days during early days of new events. So clearly there's servers that can handle 3k + people. Anyone from any instance can join que's or teams on any other instance.

The potential problem with a "premium" server is it does not guarantee a lag free experience (or even a more minimal lag experience). If you want a premium server that offers up something different from the other ones... that's fine (hard-core or lard-core as examples). I just hope you're okay with lag on your premium server as well because a different server most likely is not going to fix DDO's most infamous issue (next to tumble that is...

That is another argument altogether (latency). It doesn't sound like they're going to be putting up any EU servers anytime soon (or anything on the west coast for that matter).
This game.will always have lag. It will never go away. It is an old game, with many underlying issues.
When the game went down, like alot of people I either played other games or tried out different games.
All the newer games I tried are very smooth without lag. Most of the games I did not like though and quickly Uninstalled. Some though I will definitely keep playing.
If you are a person that loves DDO like me, ultimately you will have to stomach the lag until you don't want to deal with it.
If there was a magic wave to make the game lag free they would have waved if by now.

If you want a lag-free experience, DDO isn't the game for you. Plenty of great multiplayer online games out there where lag is minimal to non-existent, like Last Epoch.

You are correct Ying. If you are looking for a lag free gaming experience, DDO is not it. A different server is not going to fix that either. I have said in the past that DDO is a great game, but with the caveat that is does have its warts.
Everytime someone gets a lag spike, even if it's there own ISP or hardware, people would cry foul.
What's more interesting is the cost. IF a lag free server was even possible, what would the cost for it be to the people on it, for it to have a chance to be anywhere near profitable.

one of us that is passionate about this game just needs to win one of those 5 billion dollar power ball jackpots and straighten things out. If I do, I will.

I did put in a "creative idea" at my previous company to buy DDO sometime back - complete with a business case, ROI and such. They went and bought Blizzard insteadone of us that is passionate about this game just needs to win one of those 5 billion dollar power ball jackpots and straighten things out. If I do, I will.

This is as daft as that other Idea - I'm quite looking forward to the next one now!
