Hello Travelers,
Thank you all for the amazing support for our launch, hitting over 150,000 concurrent players! With this burst of volume, an issue was discovered within an API being used for our backend services. We immediately got into calls with several of our providers, and continue to actively be in the war room with them to get this issue resolved and get everyone online.
For players who are looking for a solo experience, the fully offline mode has made it so you can get in game right away and start playing. Though, while this is available for those who are happy to play offline, we understand that's not a replacement for online play. It does not at all decrease our efforts to get players in-game online with friends and other travelers.
We have an active running update on our #news channel at https://discord.gg/lastepoch, as well as on the discussions here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/899770/discussions/0/4338725580140385603/
Thank you for your patience as we get these launch jitters resolved. We're all hands on deck to get everyone in and playing the way they want. We have a whole bunch of servers ready for everyone once once we get this API issue resolved, and look forward to hearing about all your travels in Eterra!
