I smell… no tears coming from me!
You know that the Servers are fine and that the structure from Smilegate is the Issue right? And New World lost 70% of the Players after a Week, meanwhile Lost Ark has a consistent 1 Million+ users every day.
I’ve never had the problem with the Aura, but indeed matchmaking can be annoying.
But at least it’s given me the chance to farm up the collectables in this game.

I smell the need for you to try and prove yourself to me!
Read the CM notes on why they needed to create a whole new Region instead of just adding servers (fun fact: they couldn’t add more servers).
WTF is this BS?! I have been queuing from 16:00 and now you tell me that when I do get in, you will take the servers down?? I am fucking done with this. No game is worth this.

This is probably true, since they still haven’t even fixed the Desync in NW.
I was obviously exaggerating but it’s still a 60% loss over a month, this won’t happen to Last Ark at all.
New World’s population went up during the first month, because they added servers in Europe. Which was overcrowded because they hadn’t planned correctly for the amount of European players. Lost Ark got new servers, which solved nothing, and the population went down during the first week.
They were both horrible launches, and Amazon did both of them. So far it’s looking much worse for Lost Ark. But hopefully the fact that Amazon can’t screw up the game itself, just the servers, means it won’t die like New World.
There is a big difference between Lost Ark and New World, one has actual endgame and one hasn’t. I played the hell out of New World and quit a month after because there was simply no content and still isn’t. Most people left New World for exactly that, no content. Lost Ark has a ton of content and is successful in two other regions for years now. And we only have a tiny amount of the content the other versions have.
Lost Ark opened the first few Server again after closing them because the community pressured them to do it as they wanted to play with their friends (obviously). But the effect was that they could play together but the server structure could’nt and can’t handle so many players. So it’s not just on AGS for fucking this up. The Situation is sad but I would blame Smilegate for this.
The Director said he wanted to see 300k concurrent players and he 100% should have known this number is wrong. But even then as AGS said the server structure does not support more servers per region so even if they wanted they couldn’t add more. As solution, they needed an entirely new region but this is also not enough as people won’t switch and they don’t have the tools to just grant only this region a power pass, etc. So it’s just all Smilegate all over again, no server transfer feature, and a bad structure that doesn’t support so many players.

Yes, that’s what I’m saying.
They have pretty much the same regions as New World did, the same proportion of NA to EU servers, and the same problem with overcrowded EU servers and no real plan for how to solve it. This could all have been solved by preparing in advance. Unless you can show me that this wasn’t Amazon’s horrible planning again, I’m going to assume it was. It looks like a very clear pattern.
Tonights maintenance is pretty much just a server reboot to fix matchmaking etc for a couple of hours until we hit primetime again 
They just confirmed here, all they are doing with the maintenance is restarting EU Central
in other words… EU - you are f*cked. 
HUGE queue will be a thing in the future. damnt

Why has this game to be so popular 
I’m seriously not sure if it is a good thing or not 
thank god hoping the fix the lfg issue and also the claiming shit issue my OCD be going nuts seeing the 3 there and not being able to collect it witch is soooooo toxic
I love to see that this game is popular - really deserves that… game is gorgeous and there is so much cool things to do, BUT these bugs will drown the game very deep if there will not be a solution… this will be NW 2.0
Well, I mean, all of those issues like Queues, Aura missing or Matchmaking Delay are literally coming from the huge number of people playing.
They just literally crackdown under all that popularity
