Indeed. The earlier issues that affected only the NA/EU data centre have been resolved (yay, progress), which leaves the congestion issue.

My current concerns are that while they are clearly planning to add new worlds to alieviate the congestion, there are two other things that need to happen which have not been discussed by SE:
  • How to get the existing servers uncongested by getting players moved off them an on to the new servers.
  • Addressing Lobby Server capacity so that it can actually handle the floods of login attempts that follow a datacentre crash, or even simply planned maintenance.

I shall be forcing myself to patience for the next week since they clearly have some things in the works. We can re-assess then.

(Also, in my opinion, open beta was far too short to properly pick up on and resolve the bugs that have only just emerged from the woodwork with the Phase 4 updates.)
