Dont underestimate the amount of people that wanna play!

Please, for the love of God, Make the servers good.

They're currently prepared for 1mil concurrent players. At first I thought that'd be plenty but at this point I don't even know. It just hit #1 global top seller on steam.

[Bhangman]

servers is in titanium dont worry

[EyeXombie]

Not to mention all the free keys flying around.

[Everyone]

I am sure everyone will be deeply affected by those threads that say people should not play because "D4 is better", "there is no choice for gender", and "think of poor servers". So it should be fine.

I definitely expect some lag but i hope it's not unplayable or that i have to wait 2 hours in login queue like it has happened in the past with other famous games like this, we'll see.

[Beldam von Deer]

i expect queues and crash in the first hours after the "launch"

please remain calm and grab your towel :)

Servers will go down. They always do and its part of the marketing strategy.
You need something to talk about.

There is technology today called Cloud servers.
Cloud servers have autoscaling so if 5 people play autoscales to 5, 50k people play it autoscales to 50k, 10M people join, it autoscales.

Its not they gotta goto Best Buy and buy a bunch of servers and hopefully they bought the right amount. Its all cloud now and autoscaling.

But servers will go down, most likely the marketing team wants that to happen.
Players love to hear when their favorite game, servers down due to players. Players love hearing that. They love complaining too.
So servers will go down. It makes the game look good when you have free publicity about PoE2 too good servers crashed.

If you do not have news saying servers crashed too many people enjoying PoE2 thats not good. You are not in the headlines.
So these servers have good chance at crashing and good chance its intended and good chance for good marketing because servers crashed.

that's not how servers work and it has nothing to do with marketing
sending to much information (or packets) at a same time has always the same result, a congestion
some servers can mitigate this issue but as of today that is a very expensive solution


let's hope for the best for tomorrow :)

Me announcing Diablo 4 season in the corp chat channel: not all at once with your questions, please!

Me announcing PoE2 in the corp channel: is anyone interested?... Please... It's just $30 for an F2P game without any definitive release date

[KillJoy]

Remember D4 launch, and all the queue's?
This will be the same.

[HUNGARIAN]

POE1 got 5 awards, there was no curse.

You keep pushing misinformation

If they pull that off, they deserve a medal. I can't remember the last time a popular online-game launched that didn't get overloaded for the first couple of hours
