From the world of AionOnline comes word of new servers for our European friends, hopefully this will alleviate some queues eh? ;)

Enter [FRA]Deltras and [ENG]Kahrun

We have had a careful flow of new servers over the past couple of days in order to provide more options to old and new players alike. Join us today in welcoming two shiny new European servers to our growing family.

The first of the two newcomers is French language [FRA]Deltras, named after the renowned Storm Legion’s Centurion himself. The Storm Legion was the first to explore the Abyss, and its members were the first of Elyseans to discover the Asmodians.

Second out is English language [ENG]Kahrun. A famous legend from the world of Atreia tells of two Empyrean Lords falling in love with each other – against the will of Aion. Kahrun was their child. The legend was never meant to be told, leaving Kahrun’s name engulfed in a mist of secrets and uncertainty. Make sure to play through Aion’s many quests and take part of their intricate storylines to find out more.

The ability to transfer your characters from one server to another is a feature we are working on, but it is not ready for implementation yet. We are hoping to introduce character transfers in a couple of months’ time.

AionArmory - Content Update[/center]

Woopsies, this was actually released yesterday however I was on a plane flight so Knite covered the news for that day and this got skipped. My bad!

New Feature - Character Integration.

The AionArmory now allows users to specify their character name/server. From this the Armory is able to pull your character data to autohide gear (if the user so chooses) that you can't use. This feature also pulls your equipment allowing you to easily compare your current gear with other pieces in the game. You can set your character information from the account page.

As a little added bonus you can also add a weight scale with our advanced filtering system to easily search for gear upgrades!

Recipe Maps.

AionArmory now features recipe maps. With these you can easily see where to get all the components required for a recipe. An example of this feature can be found here, noting that you can specify regions and displaying all items or specific ones from the map's tabs.

Also as mentioned in the previous news item our French and German Armory portals are now online.

Happy gaming all,
- Cynic <3

finally the queue will be shorter :D

[ruroken]

Good news, time to play again without waiting 2 hrs in line :):), thank you NCsoft...

[HazedTG]

Fantastic news and great job on the AionArmory!

I hope that there are actually people who are willing to re-roll on these new servers. Otherwise its pointless aside from accommodating new players.

And a character transfer system shouldn't take months to implement. Also it better not cost anything for people going from Full servers to lower population ones.

He/She is simply speaking the truth. The servers will be pointless if people won't decide to reroll.

[GreyFoxIndy]

Indeed, if we were able to actually transfer to this new server it MIGHT help, but it won't help at all with queue times, unless people are completely willing to reroll on a new server.

I am not.... so, pointless for me, unfortunately.

:cry:

[Mory]

One more EU ENG server, give me a break! With people not even being able to queue because the server were full all night!
That is not going to change anything, and without transfers even in the foreseeable future (ayase: in the next couple of moths, lol.). Does nobody at NCsoft have any brains to anticipate demand and actually prepare for it? Now you have a very cheesed off EU player base, quite apart from the fact that EU was given NO grace period and ppl are still waiting for their boxes with not even an acknowledgement. Thank you for treating loyal pre-order customers like ****.

[Carthel]

Good to hear that they've done something to try and sort this queue problem out but I can't help but wonder who will be willing to reroll losing their current character because I sure as hell wont be.

"Hey excellent they made a new server"

"Great now people will reroll there and my queue will be shorter"

"OK, off you go then.."

"What? No I meant you were the one to go, I'm staying"

etc.

[Fegis]

a little too late tbh with the new servers, complete MMO virgins probably wont find out about the new servers until too late, those who are MMO veterans often are playing with friends / guilds from other MMOs and with some ppl hardcore lvlers it will be difficult to reroll everyone.

What they should of done is open the new servers just as the general release came around on the 25th rather than 3 days later on the 28th FFS

[zumanjie]

Hope you guys will give option to transfer soon. More then willing to move if it means that i dont have a 2 hour q before i can play :)

They also mentioned that a transfer system is a couple months away. So I belive it would be more productive to reroll or wait until the queue sort itself out.

LOL @ this.

[Profundido]

I'm 32, I ain't rerolling....I suggest that NCSOFT just deletes all char of lvl 15 and lower to force them, it's less than 5 hours play anyway !!

[Lawson83]

I think people have every right to be pissed off that it's taken this long to implement a new server but as others have already said if people are not willing to re-roll then it will fix nothing. I don't understand why it's taken so long to implement a new server as I would have thought they had backup servers on standby as early back as headstart program just incase they hade a serious hardware failure.

Personally I won't be re-rolling to a new server as all my IRL friends play on my current server (Spatalos). I think we will find that the new EU servers are queue full at peak times a day or two into them being online. Sorry for sounding so down on the matter but the whole fiasco so far has disheartened me :plshelp:

Gotta update AS.
Need a server specific forum, plus an option to pick this one in a user profile.

I'll be doing that today, was just passing out in my hotel room when posting this xD

In other news apparently not even the Heritage is above having spiders, I got bitten QQ

EDIT: Forum updated, those features should be there now =)

That would thrill people! ^^

We have raised our server caps as much as we can, we are working to get character transfers implemented and we are adding new servers to provide options. Ultimately, we want to make queues shorter and we're getting there. I think we've gotten a long way since day one (anyone remember that?), but we still have a bit to go.

[lucifon]

Any word on compensation Ayese, for the ridiculous amount of hours we've wasted sitting in queues for a service we're paying for?

Good work on the new servers, definitely a step in the right direction. Hopefully things should settle out as some people move.
