The survival MMO Conan Exiles has parted ways with its server partner. The official servers are thus down and dead.
Funcom reports with new numbers and bad news for Conan Exiles. Currently, there are 7700 servers active. 7500 of them are private, and 200 are hosted officially.
The influx is so massive that Funcom’s partner for the official servers, “PingPerfect”, cannot achieve the quality that Funcom is aiming for. Therefore, Funcom is parting ways with PingPerfect by mutual agreement. The official servers are thus dead.
Funcom wants you to play Conan Exiles on unofficial servers
Funcom encourages players to play on unofficial servers.
Funcom must also withdraw the 25% lifetime discount on the Barbarian Edition (this is the Collector’s Edition). Anyone who has already purchased it will retain the discount. However, future buyers cannot be granted this anymore. The stock is exhausted.
They are now looking for a new partner. However, this is not easy, as the influx is so large that hardly any potential partner has the necessary hardware available.
The database of the official servers will be preserved. The plan is to upload it to new servers so that the progress players have made on the official servers will be retained. But new servers will only come when they are ready. Funcom does not provide a timeline for when new official servers will launch. The only hint Funcom gives is “It may take a few days.”
Funcom says that this is a problem that has arisen due to the high demand for Conan Exiles. They would rather face the problem now than later.
