lost ark it became an absolute success in the West; so much so that in Europe the regional servers were unable to supply the countless numbers of players trying to immerse themselves in the Archesia universe. Available as free to play in Latin America, North America, Oceania and Europe after passing through Asia, the older continents were most affected. For this purpose, and despite the maintenance period for this Tuesday, February 15th, the problem persists. Smilegate has issued a statement explaining What’s the situation? you how they plan to tackle the endless queues in Europe.

“We are aware of the problems the players are having”

Despite the lack of premium content and stores; problem with Error in early access; and other bugs and issues reported, from Smilegate which they have as one of their main focus of attention queues in the Central EU region. Just this week a new server was announced, region Western EUwhich hopes to shed the current burden (EU Central) and allow players from Spain, Germany, France, Italy, the UK and other regions of continental Europe to enjoy Lost Ark sessions without the issues or queues of several hours (literally).

Lost Ark’s architecture does not allow for more capacity to be added to the territory; the solution is to make another one

“Lost Ark’s immense popularity has caused queues in all regions from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands,” Smilegate began by saying on the video game’s official forum. “Our server team has worked tirelessly with Smilegate RPG pushing existing servers to the absolute limit of their capacity while maintaining stability and adding more servers to each region.”

Sadly, it is not possible to add more capacity to the area “because of the limitations that the Lost Ark architecture creates”. For this reason, the only practical solution is to create new regions in parallel; in this case, we are referring to Western EU.

The Western European Union release date has yet to come. “We will share an update with exact details as soon as possible,” they said.
