Mythic news: queues and rest bonus

Server cloning worked well in my case, my server used to have half an hour wait at prime time for Destruction, now its down to 3 minutes max. In a further improvement to queues Mythic announced that they'll patch in a small change: If you crashed to desktop and log right back in, you skip the queue. As that was one of the major annoyances with queues, this is a good idea. On the downside of course queues will advance more slowly.

In other Warhammer Online news, Mythic published a FAQ about how the rest bonus works. That's the bonus to xp you accumulate when not online. Just like in WoW it is limited to a level and a half. But the numbers are slightly different. In WAR you get the basic bonus everywhere, +50% when you log out in a war camp or quest hub with the "you feel rested" message, +100% in Altdorf or the Inevitable City, and +150% in the guild leader's hall, a feature your guild acquires with rank. So right now I can only recommend flying to your main city before logging off.
