logged in 2 hours ago. only had 1k of people before me. then wile crafting. BOOM. your freaking server kicked me off. for lost connection. Tried to back in. get the freaking 3001 BS. closed out the program and relaunched. now at freaking 3k+.
What I want to know is. why there was not this problem before EW launch. then you took the servers down for 24 hours to patch. now he have these BS long ques. it is as if you actually turned something off and decided not to turn it back on

More than half of the population was "hibernating" as they ran out of content a long time ago. Then WoW went boom and population increased to the level of Shadowbringers launch. Now Endwalker launches with the servers already near maximum and they have to deal with the hibernating people returning. Its the perfect storm as they have to wait at least 10 months or more to get new servers to expand the DCs.

I think its pretty much this. I left (not because of content, but personal reasons RL stuff.) more than a year ago and got back and only had two 5.x sections to catch up with before I can start the EW stuff. Its a great game though so people who didn't have anything left but dungeons and market board (from their perspective anyway) came back for the new content.

I'm on Faerie as well and I also got booted at the same time. I also had to reload the launcher. I'm also still waiting in line to get back in. It seems to be going faster than it did yesterday. One of the boots yesterday made me wait 2.5 hours with a disconnect from the queue once but I got back in line fast enough. At this point, I'm grateful I made it through MSQ before the disconnects began for me.

maybe its just teh IT person in me, but I somehow doubt servers capable of running an mmo are plentiful. plus, they would have to have guarantees of stability and high speed connection capability. otherwise I am sure they could just buy a bunch of Walmart specials and run on those right?

Kupo, you know the best servers are done with 1000's of Raspberry Pi's kupo <3

Yes. The multi-billion dollar company is either not-internet savvy and cannot google "server hosting for rent" or lying to it's thousands of customers because it's developers just don't like to have more satisfied customers.



I get the frustration. But .. think your posts through for a couple minutes.

Comparing servers you can rent off of a Google search to the server needed to run an MMO is like saying "Why is there a shipping backup? There are plenty of moving vans."

And that's not even getting into the inherent issues of cloud servers (which is what most if not all of them are) on anything where ping matters.
