Path of Exile II is officially kicking off its early access today, and the excitement is palpable! With over one million redemptions already secured, Grinding Gear Games has issued a heads-up about potential server queues. Let’s explore what this means for excited players ready to jump into Wraeclast!
The news broke on social media, where GGG candidly shared that the overwhelming response might create hiccups during the launch weekend. Can you imagine waiting in line to get your gaming fix? Yeah, it could be a bit like that!
Hurry and Wait
If you’re itching to explore the depths of Path of Exile II, be prepared for some waiting time. The developers have confirmed that the likelihood of encountering server queues is high with such a massive influx of players, over one million early access redemptions. Talk about mixed feelings!
The team expressed their gratitude but also their concerns through a tweet:
We’ve just reached 1 million Early Access redemptions. The support you have all shown for Path of Exile 2 Early Access is far beyond anything we could have ever predicted. However we want to be upfront with you all and let you know there may very well be queues over the weekend.
Jonathan Rogers, one of the game’s developers, shared his thoughts in a video discussing this milestone:
We really didn’t expect to have more than one million people online at the same time. We’ve already ordered way more cloud capacity, and those servers will be coming online very soon. But I do have some concerns about issues with the back-end… If we do run into server issues at launch, just know that we’re going to be working as hard as we can to solve them.
This honesty from GGG is refreshing! It shows they are aware of the challenges ahead but are committed to making things work smoothly for fans.
