Actually, I did but I don’t think you play on EU servers and can’t really experience what the whole region suffering through. You know we bought those founder packs for 2 reasons. First the game itself and the second it’s published by Amazon Games owned by Amazon which is the biggest company in the world and literally building a spaceship can’t fix one region for their game.
I don’t think the reason is you Amazon don’t have enough funding but the planing was so wrong start till now 2 mounts won’t do anything to people frustrated this much. But thanks for throwing a carrot for me

Before a spaceship actually lift up they blow up a few of them, learn what is gone wrong and try to fix it. Same for any technology including servers for games. Each game has its unique structure created by the game developers in this case Smilegate. Each structure its somehow unique with its own limitations. If those limitation was reached in the EU/US server then they found about them and actually based on what exactly create the most of the problem they can try to optimize it and solve the problem.
When you building something new don’t matter how much money you have for the project. Some times the project is stuck in a problem that money can’t help. Because it need some ideas from devs and tech people. Therefore often money is not the only problem, because who you pay to solve a problem actually need time to solve it.

Don’t compare New World to Lost Ark. New World has all the function of an MMO but is not fun to play. Lost Ark has all functions of an MMO and it actually fun to play. All the biggest MMO’s started with huge server problems. Not only the one made and/or published by amazon. I witnessed World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2 from day 1 and they was on the same page from the server prospective. For WoW I skipped 1 entire month because it wasn’t impossible to play at all
Shop is connected to all server in a specific region “EU Central” for example. Inside the shop there is also the currency exchange that is shared between all the servers in the sudden region. This exchange allow you to buy gold using gems or buy gems with gold. This is updated between all servers by the region mega server. When the shop is loaded it loads also all the benefits you can get from the shop using the same server power of the exchange for every single player that login. When you try to change this system to lower the serve load on the whole system it can cause bugs because every shop item is connected. So when they try to fix 1 problem then can create 10 new. But at least they are trying
