Steps we take to reduce the queue, and patch 1.17.0 release

So is the chinese pvp a precursor for pvp eu2? :)

I think yes,they think more carefully about EU2,but I think is good to just open it.Rome is not built on one day,we could make the EU2 better when the players come inside,everything progress when it going around!

lol the chinese are going to get 10 different custom servers before we get a pvp server

How’s the progress coming?

I fear with the delay of the SEA-transfers, everything else will be delayed as well.
I, personally, do not mind a delay, as long as everything's done properly, but i fear that like.. idk.. 75% of the forum community will shitstorm the dev-team again. '_'

Further information

We understand that you all would like to hear about the patch release, but we also recognize that you are anxious about longer queues and the current new content not being as exciting as resolving an overpopulation crisis.

The exact details of our new EU realm are still under internal debate, and will be shared when finalized. We hear and appreciate your opinions and concerns.

Will 1.17.0 be delayed again if transfers aren’t ready by October 3rd?

On October 3rd, the server will undergo a lengthy maintenance period to ensure a smooth distribution of the patch. We anticipate that our services will be down for an extended duration as we update!

Here are some things to keep in mind on the patch day: viewtopic.php?t=10388

We are still in the process of working on transfers, and we kindly ask for your patience as we resolve the remaining issues.

Great news! Glad to see you guys are working hard!
Delay the patch if that's stressing you out, i'm sure most people won't care if all previous issues are solved and we get a quality patch release

how about thr progress of transfering char from EU to SEA?

[Geojak]

is the patch out on the asian servers too? if no, do you already have rough plans for that. i am asking because i believe having both sides patched is a prerequirement for sea server transfers

I believe so, anyway, threre seems no progress for transfering char to SEA.

[Torta]

We are happy that the opening of 5 (soon to be 6) CN realms has helped eliminate the queue on the EU realm without resorting to discrimiation or harming anyone.

However, we have encountered unforeseen technical difficulties with the transfers, and they are currently only open to a limited number of testers. We expect them to be fully functional in the coming days.

Please stand by for additional announcements!
