TLDR: We're looking at an AFK boot system and we have the new server hardware just waiting on internal testing.

Sounds good, pretty fast fix in the scheme of things.

Thank you so much for reposting this here.
I tried to view this earlier, but for some reason the link wouldn't work.

All in all a good read and I like what was said, especially giving an exact state of things as far as getting the new servers up, looking into an AFK boot and that they will be providing some form of reward/recompense for the players that have been affected.

The worse that could happen? The new hardware conflicts with the old hardware due to improper testing and fucks everything up. Then no one can play.

Having to test the equipment before putting it to use is a basic necessity for something like a server.
A server that doesn't work can cause problems with the other ones, especially if data is shared across them, which could result in all of them going down at which point it would take even longer to then have to fix all of them and get them back up.

How about free world transfers for people who had to choose a server that they weren't planning to be on, instead of being able to join a world that their friends are on?

This is good. Nice to see the numbers behind the problems. Hope they get those new servers up asap.

Hey all!

I was in phase 3 and 4 and early access. Currently getting error 1017. Are we getting charged as of now? Or does that start once everything is stable. Not to happy about pre-ordering and losing subscription time due to limited logging. I understand it's an MMO, I'm patient, but so long as I'm not the one paying actual money for the issue.
