European Server Structure Update

[Valfador]

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you all know this is now scheduled to occur early in the morning in Europe tomorrow, Wednesday July 4th.

We anticipate it will take around 2.5 hours but given the scope of the reconfiguration additional time may be necessary. We'll of course keep you up to date throughout the downtime!

Cheers,

The day when Rift was unsubscribed.

besides conquest having to less capacity, which im sure will be fixed in a few days, im totally fine with having a multi language group.

most people speak enough english to get through any instance together, you mostly need only some words anyway. i heavily enjoy playing with new peeps!


heck: do some people remember when english was MANDATORY in the internet cause mostly only US-People where in it then? ^^

Would have liked to have some warning about the Steampike going to a trial server instead of logging on and finding it all ready flagged! I now have a toon sitting on the server I want to go to with the same name as my main.

Perhaps you should have read this thread then. It clearly says in the OP that they were to become trial servers.

closing servers is never a good sign....

Stop repeating the same sentence if you don't understand the reasoning. Even after it has been explained in tenfold to you already.

Like I said I know why they did it, I would have liked some warning other than a post made back in Janaury that I have not seen before. I don't read the forums often as I don't always have the time to trawl through posts. It is not so hard to put a little server message up on the logging screen directing us to this information or maybe a quick email shot to all the European players about this change?

They could have done more, they did'nt that's what has annoyed me.

Not sure what you mean with 'back in januari', as it was posted a couple of days ago, so the information was there. Would it have been better if they notified on the actual servers awell, yes I agree with that.

I welcome you all to IceWacth!

Bring the fun <3

Any official info/news on the horrific Icewatch queues please )

[Sinmar]

There are another 2 PvE servers and one of them is RP so you could move to blightweald I doubt they have a que.

So I shall tell all my friends in 6-7 different guilds to move too? And make them move with their guilds? And their friends? I (as in me, singular) can move but I am playing this multiplayer social game with a lot of friends that I can't force to move.

Having followed the topic of server issues over the last few days, I wonder why there is such an issue.

Steampike got turned Trial. Oddly people seem to think it is too difficult to co-ordinate movement between shards.

The 3 biggest guilds (400 players) managed to agree to move the Blightweld and continue there without any issues. Heck there's even a public teamspeak server Thoriain's Chat to encoruage wider play.

I will take the point that moving guilds is not an easy task and requires some thought but if 3 guilds can manage to co-ordinate a move then surely 1 or 2 on Icewatch could manage to move to Blightweld to even out the load...

3th day in a row that we got queued to get in Icewatch. I fail to see why it was necessary to merge people in Icewatch when it was already heavy loaded.
The irritation grows with the introduction of 1.9. We dont have much fun as before so me and my girlfriend will offer up 2 places on Icewatch.

[Moloch]

strange that so many servers being turned into trial shards, when the active servers still have the same capacity? where do you think people will transfer to?.. i hate it being put in a que, i want to play the game, not wait 45min+ to get in

i really like the game and always backed you guys up, but this is getting out of hand, if youre not online hours before peaktime then youre screwed and are put into a que when you try to log in at that time, theres enough servers being closed so put some extra bandwidth into the active servers where people actually need it

[Pristique]

I really wonder when will u solve this **** queue problem? i dont wanna pay for waiting. You should solve this problem asap!!! This is really annoying, i always support trion but not now. Expand servers or whatelse and solve queue problem.

[Liziana]

What with the skill lag because of conquest, which makes raiding very hard going, but also now with the queues we are lucky if we get all the raiders online! Please sort this out, because even my patience is wearing thin.

Move to Blightweald where theres no lag/queues and the population is steadily rising over the last few days.
