In the Sandpark MMO ArcheAge , the launch of the European servers scheduled for 6 PM has been postponed indefinitely due to issues with the game in the USA.
Initially, the European servers of ArcheAge were supposed to go offline for maintenance at 12 PM today and then be brought back online around 6 PM. With the “Auroria” patch, the northern continent would have opened, leading to a rush for building sites and resources.
For now, that won’t happen.
In the USA, the patch went live yesterday, and since then, there has been a crisis mood there. Until the situation in North America is under control, Trion Worlds will wait to release the Auroria patch in Europe. They promise to announce a new date as soon as they can.
Update 3:30 PM: The problems caused by the patch in North America have been somewhat resolved. According to a recent statement from community manager Scapes , they still want to wait before announcing a date for the European servers, as there are still isolated connectivity issues in North America.
Mein MMO believes: Assuming a maintenance duration of 6 hours, we would likely miss the “prime time” and the “critical phase” of the land rush would start after 10 PM. So it could be that Auroria in Europe opens only tomorrow. However, that is not official.
Update 4:15 PM: The assumptions turned out to be correct. The patch has now been postponed to Thursday, November 6. The servers are scheduled to go down at 12 PM our time. The gates of Auroria are set to open at 6 PM.
