I’m just as frustrated.
I had a random modem restart that lasted like 5 seconds.
It said “Reconnecting…” in game and instead of reconnecting me it just kicked me out of the game and back to a 4000 queue.

I usually dont get triggered but this is beyond ridiculous. Just smack up more servers and let people in the game before a massive refund train will start.

Looking at the server population site there is nearly 300k players in a queue and 183k playing the game.

so if the cap is 2000 that’s about 150 servers worth of people, which there is not a chance in hell they are adding.

I still don’t understand why they don’t just open more servers even after explaining how queue works.
So if people decide to play for a longer time, you’ll just wait for a longer time.

This is the truth:

What is going on with EU?

EU is Black.
APAC is Blue.
US East Orange.
US West is Purple.
SA is Green.

First servers opening were the Europeans. Worst treated servers Europeans.

Whats wrong with EU? - General Discussion / General Discussion - New World Forums

Wy only US gets more servers?
Amazon is an US based company need I say more??
Also we get to test the queue simulator and a crash course on how to twiddle our thumbs.

Actually, have you seen the EU servers published in the Steam post days ago? Did you compared the server lists?

TL:DR;
There were 27 servers added on day one, 1 removed. This means they already increased servers amount from 67 to 93, which is a 40% additional capacity.

Maybe they need to add a couple more then?
we clearly have an issue that not only can be easily fixed but NEEDS TO before people ‘can’t take it anymore’.

And still we have ALL EU servers with 2700+ queues. It’s clear that something needs to be done, be it bigger servers or more servers - maybe both. It’s not weekend yet and we cannot seem to be able to play.

Server amount does nothing at the moment because in all their almight wisdom they desided to open the EU first… gues what all those folks elsewhere on this green earth did??? add to that a player limit of a WHOPPING 2000!!! per server and yeah I’d say there is more then enough reason for us to rage against those bloody fools with shit for brains

I get what you’re saying, but to satisfy the currenty queues there needs to be a 200% increase from current server numbers, not 40%.

They are for sure enough reasons why they haven’t added much more. Just to mention a few I can think of myself:

  • Characters have been already created, people won’t change (very likely) to new servers and start all over again
  • Looking at the game in a long term, there are a lot of people who probably won’t continue playing this game because they only follow the hype. Increasing server caps and later end up with dead servers is very critical for the overall gaming experience.*
  • Gaming experience with no full server might be worse than with a queue (e.g. in terms of finding a party). They are already too many people walking against a wall and being AFK

* About the second point: They already planned to merge servers if they end up with only a few people playing on one. This however will for sure come with a couple of drawbacks anyway (like resetting controlled areas because of merge conflicts, resetting company progress and stuff like that).

I think not taking unnecessary, unplanned and quick actions is the best way to go. They probably waiting to see how it is progressing before actually taking further actions. Increasing servers caps can vary from being very easy to being very time consuming, the easiest launch would be just run a script and multiple server instances are set up after a few minutes / hours. But this won’t have the expected result as many think.

so if the cap is 2000 that’s about 150 servers worth of people, which there is not a chance in hell they are adding.

Well they are still selling copies of the game… despite having capacity for less than a quarter of the customers…

Oh dude, give Amazon a chance. They are human beings too, and didn’t expect the launch to be this big themselves.

There is for sure many reasons again why only 2k players are allowed on one server. Examples:

  • Player lag: Too many people at one location might cause very bad lag, even crashes on client side (many PCs and networks won’t be able to handle it)
  • Server limits: Even servers have a couple of limits, like network ingress and egress, data types in code etc.

People often do not know the background and therefore cannot understand a couple of decisions that were made previously.

uh what are you smoking ? you think people buy products and don’t have problem when they cannot use ?

“Looking at the game in a long term, there are a lot of people who probably won’t continue playing this game because they only follow the hype”

how do you call a theater that sell 1000 tickets for a room where only 400 people can enter ?
so what you are saying is, oh no problem the 600 people will go back home. Ok but they paid, so refund them with compensation if you cannot let them enter.
