I think there have been a massive miscalculation regarding the server choices for the different regions… The europe continent + russia is absolutely destroying NA in total amount of active players, and we can surely see this in this game again, just like every other game on launches, EUROPE always has the worst server issues regarding the MASSIVE volumes of players… No wonder EU’s server is permanently crashing cause half the playerbase is trying to play on the same server… This needs to get sorted out as fast as possible.

I’m playing in the EU server and I’m not having any issues, other than longer loading screens and occasional failure to join town, which is global to all servers and should be fixed soon.
I’m on EU and have been trying to form a party with a friend for the last 2 hours. I’m currently unable to even enter the game.
That is not because of the EU server. All servers are like that. They’re still fixing them.
That sounds very odd to me since i am sitting in a 20 man discord call with all of us from different parts from europe having the same issues…
Really? Every server from every region is having issues and it’s odd that Europe is having the same issues?
Are you playing something else, or do you live in a parallel universe?
Yes, but europes server is actually crashing every 2 hours, so i’m not sure what magical server you are on that you can actually play when no one i knows actually can at all for almost 20h
NA server atleast have been online half of the time since launch, europes have been almost permanently dead brother… You must play on America, there is no way
I played for a couple hours in the morning, then the servers crashed and had issues connecting, now I’ve been playing for an hour. Currently I can’t travel to town, but before that I was playing just fine, just with longer loading times.
But if I was playing on a different server the problem would be the same as with EU server. It’s a global issue, not limited to EU. If you had 3 different servers for EU, the same thing would still happen.
There may be “just one” but that doesn’t say how “one” relates to scale. It’s not one box. It’s one region.
I understand where you are coming from, and we are indeed having connection issues which may very well be related to server capacity. However, please also remember “Server location” and “Server capacity” are not the same thing.
Just wanted to contribute to the conversation to prevent confusion.
Have fun everyone.

Playable server is a very big overstatement. Europe has unplayable server currently.

Even Smilegate (Lost Ark) underestimated the amount of EU players back then. Idk why this keeps happening, the EU isnt new to the world. XD We have always had a bigger playerbase than the US. Its just that no one is talking about this. XD

EU still not functioning two weeks after release, nice
This can be solved with add one more server EU East and give players option to move there characters.
You don’t need to move characters, they aren’t stored in the data centers. You can pick your existing characters right now and log into any other server. And like has been pointed out, having 2 data centers with half the servers or 1 with them all makes no real difference.
