Let's not jump to conclusions, give them a minute to check it out. Could be something that was f'd up in a patch that didn't get noticed because of the generally low pop of the game.

If you check the chart, it was running with 400+ for over 12 hours.

Time to get proper hosting?

I doubt its a bandwidth issue, more likely, something that creeped in between launch and the expansion that didn't get proper load testing due to low pop.

I still give that idea a +1 in general, being in the US and having the server in London would be a benefit, but it's not an emergency to move it.

Edit: What Zoom said ^

Dont worry guys.  Again, if you look at the user peak graph, the top of the graph is the most we've had online at once.  The server can easily handle this (maybe not the spawns tho lol) so let them work out the code and we'll be rolling again in no time.

I agree with Arga that its probably something that couldnt have been tested after the population lowered over the months past release.

There's only 500 people playing this game? wow, I'm surprised!! I'd have thought it was at least 2-3000 actually.

Anyways, looking forward to playing again!

Sure, but last I checked that kind of server statistics was on Warhammer about 6 months ago, and their servers each had between 1200-2500 people playing.

I was actually assuming this game had a helluva lot more subs :-)

All I am getting is 'error_ServerFull', they could be a wee bit more informative. I know they have had a large influx, but unless guys can get onto the game reliably, it could impact the desire to stay.

Warhammer = advertised, known trademark, common fantasy genre, with a little bit blood and gore AFAIK.

Perpetuum: Indi, scifi, hardly advertised (no big name publisher that tries to make money out of sold boxes)

200 constant subs IMHO not so bad...

Well I suppose you can blame us EVE refugees for crowding into your game, but it's better they learned this now (When we're all still relatively forgiving and such) than later when the consequences could be much greater.

Perp is primed for new players, the Vet base has been building up the market and stockpiling resources, which will allow them to absorb a large number of players into their corporations and supply them with bots and modules.

There are also plenty of modules/bots in storage waiting to go onto the market for new players to buy.

We have been breaking ground on this sandbox, plowing the soil, and getting it ready for the land rush.

Don't get discouraged by the server snafu, the player base is ready to expand, even if the relay server needs some love.

Beta Islands outposts, while not vital to the game at the moment, provide some great PVP action and any new Corps should be eyeing them for thier long-term strategic value.

this is TOTALLY the best time to be part of the game, once the relay server is fixed that is

It's going to take them a few days to gather up some NIC for us to exploit, I mean, provide them with an invaluable service, anyway.

And.... I'm in.....
