PlanetSide 2 Servers Still Offline in Europe, Hours After Launch on PS4

Unfortunately the PS4 launch for PlanetSide 2 hasn't exactly gone equally smoothly as expected. Having launched yesterday worldwide, the European servers are experiencing astringent issues where players have been unable to even log-in at all.

PlanetSide 2 server issues might exist a sign of success, with more than usual traffic bringing their servers to a grinding halt in Europe.

Daybreak Games is hard at work looking to fix the bug that have been plaguing the PlanetSide 2 European servers since launch yesterday. The servers have been taken completely offline to fix the issue afterward it was found that most players were having trouble connecting at all. North American servers are doing fine, withal, though in that location might exist connection problems and perhaps smaller problems, though no widespread server outages.

We are continuing to work on an issue with the European union servers. We actually capeesh everyone's patience.

PlanetSide 2 is a large and open MMOFPS with a moderate player-base on the PC with servers that are more capable of treatment the processing load. Daybreak Games probably wasn't expecting quite the surge in activity equally they've received which has overwhelmed the servers. Oddly, this might even be a sign of a successful launch, though certainly not an effect that whatever company would e'er want to have to deal with.

Previously there was an event with purchasing on both servers, though that particular issue has since been resolved. Thankfully there aren't any game breaking bugs, yet, that accept been identified, so once the servers are dorsum upwardly it should exist smooth sailing one time in.

This isn't the start fourth dimension that an MMO's servers take been devastated by a surge in players wanting to savor the last product. Star Wars Galaxies suffered a like fate in 2003 when over 300,000 players all wanted to live out their Star Wars fantasy on launch day, bringing their servers to their knees.

Then sit back, relax and grab a cup of coffee as they sort everything out and start to bring everything dorsum online. Hopefully it'south shortly, because I'd love to meet what it's like to play such a humongous MMOFPS similar PlanetSide 2 on PS4.
