Quote:We have confirmed that the issues on the North American/European data center Worlds have resurfaced. Therefore, we have placed a severe login restriction in order to stabilize the servers.Â
While you may continue to have a difficult time logging into the game, please note that the issue is being addressed, and new updates will follow as additional information becomes available.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that this is causing everyone for an extended period, but we would like to ask for your continued cooperation to make this a stable environment.
New follow-up just posted, this suggests to me that 90% of the issues they're having right now are due to congestion. Too many people all trying to login at the same time, all clogging up the same zones at the same time, all trying to do the same quests and dungeons at the same time.
I'm not sure they'll honestly be able to fix this unless they actually upgrade the hardware on their servers, which could take quite a bit of time in and of itself. These issues will more then likely all go away after a day or two once the server population stabilizes.
