“Our main priority is resolving long queues,” they saidon Twitterlast night. As well as opening new worlds to help, they say they “are performing tests to increase the capacity for all worlds.” They also plan tooffer free server transfersto let people move around once things settle.
Fans have also created the websiteStreamers On New World. It tries to track Twitchfolk playing the game and estimate the impact their presence has on servers, so you can follow your favourites or avoid their followings.
