It was also on the launcher, posted here, and on reddit, Twitter, etc.

Around the time the login queues skyrocketed.

Good to know, however when this was posted I was on vacation so it was missable. I don't live on these forums when im out of town, depsite what some might think :')

Unfortunatly, there are currently two problems :
Covid and China restrictions on rare metals (80% of the world production) exportations.
Then it makes production is slower, materials are rare and price are higher and since the Covid makes demands for computers and cloud service higher... things are becoming really complicated.

And despite the China exlusivity (almost) Western countries are reluctant, when not hostiles, for mines opening in their lands because environment protection.

First mmorpg Sotaris? Queues are normal for highly popular mmorpgs. Not fun, still you can always alt tab and do something else while waiting.

Light as well, bigger server even and it's not too bad.

Well it's not that hard to learn about the semiconductor shortage that is going on atm. They even explained it in a statement. But i guess some Xaela still don't understand it.

And it's not like the gaming industry is the only one that is hit by this. It's not like this "news" are going around in most media channels. It's not that hard to miss that most industries which produce hight tech stuff are literally forked by this shortage. There are even documentations out there about this!

I mean heck many car factories had to stop their production cause of this shortage, how the heck can you miss such important news and be so entitled that you think this is a problem that is solved with throwing money at it? You guys think SE can just go to the next black market and order some thousand semiconductors? xD

How long has this shortage been going on? Because they’ve had years upon years to address this problem and do something about it and nothing has been done. This isn’t anything new with the 14 team either. Look at character customization, housing etc. All things people have asked about that hasn’t been touched upon at all beyond “we can’t rn.”

It is not only log in. It all day randomly kicks out of server. Kicked me out of PotD 180 floor. 2 hours later again on 64 floor. Really terrible situation.

Because it's the popular game right now and, I don't know this for certain, but it's possible that there was some sort of event planned to be happening on the EU data centres that may have caused a targetted attack.

Basically, because people suck and they think this is funny or will somehow get their message across.
