We are extremely happy to announce the following:
1. NA appears to be stable. The short story is that Shuu and Flam who are Tale of Toast players wanted to help out and be heroes outside the game as well, and with their extremely valuable suggestions we managed to (it appears) fix the NA crashes. The longer story is that the crashes was related to a bug in Mono, that we had to work-around on the NA server. This work-around had already been done on EU, which is why it didn't crash there, so it's likely we did this change there at once point (the EU server is > 1 year old) to fix it and simply forgot about it.
2. Hopefully, the issue with the small amount of corrupted characters on EU should be solved. If this would still happen to you for some unknown reason then just send Fredrik a private message on Discord ( https://discord.gg/taleoftoast ) and it will get sorted for you.
3. We have made improvements to the network code which has lead to less stress on the servers. We are currently working on improving the network culling code to be less taxing on the server, and once that is done we hope to be able to raise the amount of players per server.
