Lost Ark EU - !!

Seems there’s a few of us on Moonkeep now, I re rolled on Friday evening and have levelled to 23. Going to roll another character soon, quite like the look of the mage, my main in WoW was a mage and the big flashy spells look like fun.
 
when i switched moonkeep was 'busy' and was worried i would end up queuing again so went to shadespire instead and havent queued once
much more fun when you can actually get in the game :D
 
I haven't had to queue up once on Moonkeep even when it is mentioned as being 'Busy'. Shame im already in a guild now on Moonkeep , but feel free to add me. IGN :- Lustral
 
Population is going to drop off, it cannot continue at the levels we have seen, so you want to be on a high pop English speaking server to begin with, that way you're not going to be affected as much by the player-base dropping off. If you'e not on Zinnervale - Central, which I'm pretty sure is full and Creation locked then Moonkeep is your best bet.

"Busy" or not I have never queued at all.

True but EUC is basically reliant on founders wanting to not play the game anymore. Nothing else will fix the issues there.

That's true, they're done with EU Central already, there's too many players who can't play, and too many players who won't migrate because of lost progression (and I can't blame them). All that is left is for people to wait it out until enough people just qiuit even trying to play.

But, YET AGAIN, it has been proven that paying for head starts and diving in at launch is not the best course of action to take with MMO's or games in general. A lot of people who have paid for LA have had a much worse experience than those who gave AGS nothing and simply waited for them to open a new region. If i'd spent money on this noew i;df be furious, some people spent £89.99! (IIRC).

:D

Everyone saw what happened with Amazon and the New World servers, but gamers just cannot wait to jump in to games at launch.

EDIT - Another huge mistake was not pointing people towards servers based on language in the first place, the early ones like Zinnervale and Calvasus had some pre-organisation it seemed, as they're largely ENG and FRE respectively. And I think there's solid option for SPA and GER as well in the inital wave of servers.

But the 2nd wave, servers like Ninevah were just opened wily nily and they were a nightmare, I had chars on 8 servers in total ready to go, some 1st wave, some 2nd -I either could not play, or it was toxic race war.

This again, is terrible management by AGS, who have proven time and time again they do not kow what they're doing. The game is amazingly slick and polished and "bug free" but AGS screwed up their end.

Surely the reason Zinnervale and Kadan are rammed is because the "community" decided to make up their own language tags and they were the 2 English speaking servers.

Now Moonkeep is the community designated English server and slowly but surely that is filling up as more Founders realise Eu Central will never get fixed.

Seems to me, if people had just ignored language tags (unofficial or otherwise) and just spread out across the servers, the load would have been better spread and more easily monitored.
 
i didnt even notice there was any language tags for the servers? is this something they did on the official forums or something?

There isn't someone makes a post on the forums somewhere regarding 'default languages' and people took that as gospel and decided they could only roll on that server.
 
well im really enjoying it although i just got to the Stronghold section and didn't realise there was a base building section to the game. I hate all that! Is the stronghold particularly important? Can i just leave it to rot?

If you just plonk everyone on the same servers you know what happens in the chat.

I think as regards EU West, i think they'll cap players at a certain level per server and then open up more servers rather than allow EU West to end up with the overcrowding seen on EUC. After that they'll have to open a new region. EUC servers got swamped on day 1 and had no shot of coping wioth demand.

There's 19 servers on EUC - they said it was not possible to increase that number, But, there's only 8 so so far on EUW - so there's probably plenty of headroom for more servers there.

Server transfers: Already a thing in Korea, so it will probably happen in other regions, though I can't see that being in the near future from what I have read.
 
Overall, this has been another terrible showing by AGS, it's ok to be surprised to some extent by the amount of people wanting to play, but to have only less than 25% of the required capacity is not good enough, just like NW.

Where's NW today? released 18 months too early, dead after less than 6 months.
