Lost Ark had a bumper debut last month. In fact, it was so bumper that European players of the new MMO ARPG experienced long queue times before eventually getting into the game. This led Amazon to create an entirely new regional server in a bid to ease congestion.
But even with this new ‘Europe West’ server, queue times for Lost Ark are still huge. Speaking to IGN, Amazon Games franchise leader Soomin Park said Lost Ark’s Europe Central region “continues to be filled to the brim” which as a result has led to “player queues and some instability in the region”.
