We head starters are doomed in the crazy 6servers while the others have less than 3k queue max.
Every day that pass is more progress and AGS reacted way too slow.
The ONLY solution is develop a server transfer that can make us leave Neria, zinnervale, asta etc to go into way more empty servers on EUC.
And btw, the actual structure of the game is so server transfer friendly ( ofc speaking of the same region) that is really clear they are not doing it cause moneyyyy
AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM the top major servers have all 15-20k queue while the others don’t have any. This is not normal and will led a lot of servers to a slow death
not the right thinking, AGS host and setup and manage all the servers and the game and it’s databases.
So the fault is with Amazon not setting the hosts up right, they didn’t even make language specific servers (again) demonstrating (again) amateur incompetence at the design level.
The problem Amazon faces now? There getting called out on some stuff that doesn’t add up and the community already has an air of distrust floating around.
So Amazons way to fix that? Say less and less, which screams louder than actual communicating, but it does allow the white knights to preach zealot like love and praise and this achieves splitting the community.
Now Acti Blizz were masters at this, look at their forums? Literally a cesspool of unfathomable proportion’s.
however, the players were too busy fighting each other to notice Blizzard and the state of the game until, well… Billions of taken dollars later.
I m not going to wait 4 hours every day just to connect on this game.
for me is over like new world. They have the players but they cannot deliver the content.
it’s sad for this game. they should let the korean company to manage the servers because
they are good at it is their game.
I’ll gladly answer that question.
During the headstart all EU Central servers had queues… EU West did not exist.
Therefor switching servers to another server with the same queues would make no sense.
If they are hosting it, that means they are responsible for the quality of their servers, wouldn’t you agree?
This is not a development issue, this is a server quality issue.
I want to add. That in two-three month player base will decrease and so you risking end up on not “so full” server as it was before. So there is even now fear to move to EUW and end up more or less alone.
And since how AGS handled this problem so far, no need to be a prophet to predict what is waiting for you in this case.
P.S.
Not to mention all my mokoko seeds and adventurer tome with twitch drop pets and celebration mount.
When you are in a headstart as players that purchased a founder’s pack (which AGS must know how many of them they sold) and you are facing queues on all the available servers already in your own region, it doesnt make sense to hop to another server with a slightly smaller queue.
Back then our way of thinking (or at least mine) was “I’m sure AGS is aware of the crazy queues we are facing during the headstart and will do something to ‘fix’ this before the game launches, either providing more servers, transfers or whatever necessary”
I trusted in the capability of AGS to solve the issues that were present PRIOR to the official launch. Unfortunately this trust was misplaced and all we got to hear is that they can’t add any more servers to the EU Central region so their only option was to add a seperate region for us to start fresh, losing all progress we made so far not only on characters, but on our roster levels as well.
On top of that you have to keep in mind many servers we had during the headstart were dominated by specific languages.
As you can see on this spreadsheet, which was gathered pre-headstart to help us pick our servers there were only 4 servers that were primarily english (Zinnervale, Thirain, Kadan and Slen) (Lost Ark Guild / Community Directory - Google Drive)
Zinnervale and Kadan were the obvious big English servers, and Slen / Thirain were the smaller ones based on which established communities/personalities were going to play on those servers.
As someone that speaks only Dutch/English, you wouldn’t want to be established on a server where everyone is gonna be talking Spanish.
