When we did the cluster combinations we had a good understanding of what our capacity would be in the future. There was room to grow in our plans – enough room to fit up to 40% new users comfortably. Our success and your interest has far exceeded this and unfortunately has led to laggy shards in the EU, long queues, and overall a game play experience that isn’t up to our standards.We have additional enhancements being made to our clusters, but those enhancements will take time to implement. Because of this, we will once again be temporarily separating the EU shards into two clusters. An English cluster and a mixed French/German/International cluster. When we have additional enhancements made to our cluster technology, we will once again combine EU to be a single whole cluster.>>> Influx of players they were talking about…Trion Announces Results of the We Love Gamers Celebrationhttp://www.trionworlds.com/en/news/2013/11/trion-worlds-announces-results-of-we-love-gamers-celebration/quarter of a million new players to their online games, RIFT and Defiance.RIFT experienced the highest single day gain in new users since the game’s launch more than 2 years ago.State of the Gamehttp://community.riftgame.com/en/2013/11/12/rift-state-of-the-game-address/Items they are working on:Continued Graphical OptimizationsCross Shard Functionality and InternationalizationDimension EnhancementsStreamlined Zones and TutorialsContent AdditionsPvP Improvements and AdjustmentsRolling out Content Every WeekLooking forward to 3.0You may have heard us talk about RIFT 3.0 during live streams, or in a few cryptic posts on the forums.
