Actually I think we may need a few more soon. People are just beginning to hear L2 is now F2P. Once the word gets out there will be many more knocking on the door. And nothing says screw this like when you download a game, and try to get onto the 4 servers for the first time, and each one says server full.
Yeah, I can hardly wait for Seige Times. People with "magical powers" will cause other to lag out/loose connection (Not like it hasn't happened in the past). And the defending/attacking clan won't be able to get back in to the seige becuase they will be stuck behind "Server full, please try again later"
Just try it a few times. Sometimes you get in on the first try, sometimes you get in on the 10th.
It takes a whole 15 seconds extra? We don't need more servers.
my dear friend after hours i get the same message: "Due to high server traffic, your login attemp has failed. Please try again soon."
so which "15 sec" are u talkin about ?
I find it odd that you're not able to login, because I too get that message.. but if you try a few times in a row it usually allows you.
Look at it this way, lets say for example the server cap is 7000 players, with that many people there will constantly be at least 50 connecting and disconnecting almost constantly, that gives you your opportunity to log, because people DO disconnect, just try it a few times.
Everyone in my group (13 of us) has had this issue, and the longest it's ever taken any of us to log when the server has been full is probably 40 seconds, a minute maximum.
I understand your PoV, but I don't see it as a huge issue, and I certainly don't think NC is going to jump in and make a new server or two when they've got so many people enjoying the high concentration of players and the pvp, activity, parties and general all around fun that come with it.
I believe there is some kind of bug at the moment. Or player count during sieges has been lowered so there won't be any issues. Bottom line is ... i've gotten this message in the past too but in the next 2 minutes I've been able to play normally. Now I'm trying for the last 1 half hour and more and i still can't get in the game :( This is so uncool. I don't want to move to Innova's servers T_T

"high" mean someting and "too high" it's totally another thing !
i said already, don't sell this s*it anymore with "few seconds" needed for login - because i'm already trying to log in for ******* "hours" not seconds !!

The Innova server is almost just as bad (minus the bots).
It's overloaded with players, busy areas like TOI lag like crazy, takes hours to complete quests. Bah I just don't understand why they don't add more servers. The gaming experience we get from this is just not enjoyable. There's no way in hell i'm gonna go premium on an overcrowded server I can barely play on.
They don't have to make new servers if the servers can withhold more than they can right now. If they could just up the cap a couple thousand we might not have this issue anymore.

Player count is the same, 6000, all that's different is it's the weekend so everybody's playing from earlier in the day

The servers might be able to stand the load but the game isn't designed for this many people, specially since they had the brilliant idea of funneling everyone into the same hunting zones with the new themepark quests.
Open world MMOs are the best but when they are overcrowded they are unplayable.
Wow... after 6 years of play, I sit down on the weekend to log in and hang with my clannies... and I cannot log in due to traffic. Are you kidding me, gms? Pathetic. And on top of that, you have created another system (Mentoring) that REQUIRES AFK players to stay logged in. /fail.
took me 175 attempts and about 4 hours , some brainbreaks in between to get finally in :D and i am tellin ya i arent logging off in the next 2-3 days lol
This is embarrassing for NC... this wasn't happening not even on some private severs with more than 8k players... if you'r trying to push us away on Innova servers, just say you don't want Eu community on your servers and we'll leave... don't play this games of denial support for us and hoping that problem will solve when players go away and reduce number of players like that! Put more physical servers to support 6-7k of players, invest if you want to get back some money, give me something I would like to pay for!
hmmm dunno if I'm a real lucky one but I never have problems logging in (playing Magmeld). With the exception of my server going down like every 2 hours and some random real hard lags there's nothing wrong. Always get in on the first time.. and I'm from Europe
My Awakened char is on Chronos. I could only log into Megmeld. I have zero interest to play a lvl 1 char on another server, so if I can't get into Chronos, I do not play L2.
Need to make a login queue or give preference to older accounts/higher level toons, or also stop new toon creation by new accounts on the old servers. Although I couldn't get into Shilen either, so you all got a big problem now.
Myself and some of my clannies have been unable to log in for hours. lol ?
There are alot of issues that Devs are not looking at or dont care about. Mentors who cannot log in cannot help mentees. If you have purchased any of the sp/xp packs, well the timer ticks down even tho you cant log into game. There will be a soon mass exodus or older Vets and Newbies because they cant play the game. no one has said anything about this problem other than a quote or to from Sace, which doesnt tell us anything we need to know. Someone , Anyone Either GM or Dev please address this issue and let us atleast know that someones working on it. Just say something that will help put some of us at ease.
BEST idea ever implemented!!!
just needs some fixing.
they should do it with QUE lists.
"Log on, servers full? no problem!! que up and the first available opening will let you log into your virtual world"
i like this idea, just because they protect the stability of the servers. altho, they also should do some server 5 min restarts for some people that have died on their chair to actually log out at last :)
Yesterday, during the second siege. The game client is broken. I made about 200 attempts to connect to the server Naia. After that I went to sleep in my warm bed.
Please do something. Because it is a very bad situation.
