[Update] Adding Additional Servers to US-West, US-East, Central Europe, and Australia

Greetings Adventurers,

Due to increasing live server populations, and in anticipation of our Brimstone Sands release, we are preparing to open additional worlds to accommodate the influx of new and returning players. Below, you will find our roll-out plan as well as an FAQ for any questions you may have.

Based on the extended login queues we saw over this past weekend, new purchases, and in accomodation for additional returning players, we are going to open one new world in a new world set for US-West, US-East, Central Europe, and South America on the following dates:

These will be completely new servers with no existing territory ownership. We highly recommend discussing with any of your friends or company mates to determine whether or not you’d like to take advantage of these new servers or hold dominion on your current world.

As a note, players will be able to choose whether or not to transfer their existing characters or create a new character. Please keep in mind that should you wish to transfer, you will need to use an existing server transfer token on your account or purchase a new one from the Shop page. Normal transfer rules apply.

Thanks for your support! We’ll see you in Aeternum.

FAQ

Are these completely new servers?
Yes. Despite the throwback server names, these are completely new servers added to mitigate existing queues. Interested in being the first company to claim a territory or win a war? This is the place to be! The only caveat? Anyone can transfer into these servers.

Can I transfer to these new servers?
Yes, you can. All regular server transfer rules apply. Please find our server transfer instructions and FAQ here: [FAQ] How to Transfer to Another Server or Region

Will you be providing us with a server transfer token?
No, we will not be providing any free server tokens. You may purchase one from the in-game shop and learn more with the information provided above.

Will you be increasing the character limit so we can create a new character on these servers?
No, we will not be increasing the character limit at this time. If you only have one character on the region you’ve selected, you may create another one. If you’ve already got 2 in that region, you will not be able to create an additional one.

What is the maximum population for each server?
2,200 is the current maximum population for these servers.

Will these servers be merged?
These worlds follow the normal retail server guidelines, and could undergo a merge in the future to maintain population health as needed.

Please note that this list is not all encompassing and is intended as an early look into a number of changes included within the most recent PTR build. This change list will be regularly updated, up through retail release of the game version.

A large portion of the following fixes (and adjustments) were made in part thanks to player-provided reports and feedback through PTR testing (thank you!!).

Disappointed in AGS

All of the information we currently have on this is located here and here. Other than that, I have no additional information I can provide at this time.

As someone mentioned above, unfortunately, no one on the forums has the ability to assist with individual cases.

Abaton closed for transfer and new characters

What we have for now, is this very stylish Anniversary tweet:

Any news on when locked (US-EAST) servers will be unlocked?

In US East, both Eden and Olympus are good to transfer to if you want to play without potentially long queues during peak play hours and when new content drops.

You can expect that all currently locked servers will remain locked, and that in the coming days and weeks we will need to lock more worlds, and open some new transferrable worlds.

While we are working on a solution that reduces the impact of returning players on queues for the Brimstone Sands release, players who are coming back now who haven’t played since March all have a free transfer token, and our hope is that you use it to head to an unlocked world.
