3 days ago Lost Ark Pre-Launch Steam 6 hour unpack. Today all NA East servers are down!

[rock3c40]

Be patient people. A small fraction were in pre-launch and it was 6 hours to download and unpack 57.1 Gbit. Lost Ark added another Server the second day in NA East. It too, was busy last night along with every other server. Say early access was 5% of today's full access. I would expect it will be Saturday, Sunday, or even Monday before all will be playing. Steam is just the portal. If there is not enough servers on the end (Lost Ark) for the 70 million+ gamer's, we, will all be in queue, but the Login server window says it is closed. I been playing since the afternoon of the pre-launch. Now there is no servers coming up in my NA East Server List, where this morning there were 10/12. Though all 10/12 were busy!

Mentioned in one of a dozen+ threads in the game hub.

Not to mention the pinned thread in the discussion hub itself:

They added that way too late for all in that game hub who have been spamming and farming awards. It is fun to watch though.

Considering game releases are usually 11 AM PST, which was about 38 minutes ago and the pinned thread being about the same age, i wouldn't say late.

Wasn't aware of that. In that case, they are rather late.

Thank you for the feed back. I never know how to find my way around these things. You all 'Rock'! ..."my new friend">>>well done and thank you very much for going into layer detail. I don't have the 'Twitter' either.

It is free to play MMO. Always has been.

..So I made a toon on Galator Server, first day. Played Death Hunter until 31 and then logged off. Second day that server died while I was online about 15 minutes. Restarted game. It (Galator Server) didn't even show up as available. I went to a new server as they just added (Ahteimer). Leveled a Mage to 29. Login today and all servers are down. I need to catch up on the sleep and get some exercise in as well.

{The gaming community hyped heavy for 3 months (during and after Beta) and never looked like they were prepared. Three server's in NA West?? Ten in NA East?? World of Warcraft always have 4 or 5 pages of servers 20 on a page. Four or 5 areas now and people say that game has been dead for 10 years.}
