Aether Data Center Down

[Ozz]

Greetings,
The errors you're experiencing are due to the large amount of congestion.

While the Development and Operations teams are working to ensure that the servers are stable and doing everything they can to avoid downtime, unfortunately, this issue a result of the large populations being housed on the Aether data center.

We truly apologize for the frustration experienced and ask for your patience and understanding.

What is more frustrating is that you are going to do a free login "welcome home campaign" which is going to put even more strain on the login servers for paying customers who are having to spend way more time that is need already to login. Its only going to get a hell of a lot worse on 23/06

This.

Fair way to do it is to stop time from ticking away for players who have sub time on their accounts.

The free incentive is great when it doesn't screw over paying players, but I really see this being a massive problem if things don't change considerably from now til then.

I'm all for this campaign, but was it needed when an expansion just hit? Could they not have waited at least a month for this campaign? There's already an influx of PAYING new/returning players in the past few weeks getting ready for expansion.

Are they really? Oh great. And agreed. A. The larger servers are already screwed right now and likely will be for weeks. That is not going to help and frankly if it keeps up I'm not really sure why I should be paying full subs for a game I can only half access and which they are letting others play for free. B. Why now? As has been said, at least wait until the hype dies down if you don't intend to make any effort to fix the existing problems.
