Hi all,
we would like to give you another update on the server situation and an upfront notice about traffic on the weekend.
The fix that we deployed yesterday has been a success thus far. We are seeing record player numbers and the servers are dealing with it very well. Having said that, we have to remain cautious, things can always go wrong.
Independent form that, due to the massive surge in population that we are seeing right now, amplified by the weekend, there is a high chance that we'll be having queues for non-premium players somewhere between 17:00 and 21:00 UTC today and tomorrow. The underlying reason is that the game world is getting too crowded in certain areas - this should get better once more and more new players leave the starter towns and surrounding zones.
We do not expect these queues to be anywhere near as severe as the ones seen on the first and second day after release. Please keep this in mind when planning your gaming session.
Note that we are currently also looking into expanding the size of the game world to adapt to player numbers exceeding our predictions.
All the best,
Your Albion Online Team
