NA/EU Server Congestion: The Problem & A Solution for Devs (PLEASE READ)

[dukedudeston]

Well, I'm not sure about this...after all this problems many soon to be players will think it twice before waisting their money in something that doesn't work. Many will wait until they see all has been fixed.

That's the thing though, if people stop playing the game, or hold off until it is fixed, then eventually the problem will be fixed, because less people will be playing, so it be like "Hey the game works perfectly again".. everyone bombards the servers then say.. "Oh wait, I thought they fixed it!"

That's exactly where my thoughts lay as well. In reality we really cant say much since its still early access... but my early access ends today cause of my work schedule....so ive not really done anything... And I will not pay to play a busted ass game. So far the game has impressed me. But as it stands... Id rather go play some free to play mmo then try to get my moneys worth of a game that I cant even log into a server for. Im giving them 1 month... if theres not an improvement im gone. And I know of at least 10 other people irl that are saying the same thing as me.

I started playing on a japanese worlds yesterday and haven't had any problems, but I expect later I will if for no other reason than the time difference. She'll probably become my "I need to escape and go solo for awhile" character because during my prime time the server population is scarce.

The idea of just having all worlds listed so the population can sort itself works for me, except we can't sort ourselves since we can't tell what the load on any of the worlds is. I know companies don't like to list their population numbers these days, but even just a word or graphic designation for population level would help.
