The servers will be as strong as your caps lock.

I have never seen a single instance of servers holding up for a big release no matter how much the devs prepared. It's not a question of if, it's a question of how long they'll be messed up for.

When D4 Launched, do you remember. I went to bed personally then it was fixed.
PoE has done fairly well with new leagues allowing 1000ish people in at a time. When PoE was new they gave Streamer priority. It doesn't make sense here since we hyped already but who knows. Early Access not a release so I would expect pretty bad probs to start within first 12 hours. 2 Mirror Drops and 75 Apothecary Drops in 3.21
4 Mirrors in 3.22 |

Honestly, it's probably safer to go to work and wait it out a bit. No way in hell the servers are gonna survive the first 24 hours of EA launch. Just be patient and wait until later in the day at a minimum or just give it a full 24 hours max.

Expect long queues, lags and random DCs at the first 1-2 days. I’m lucky to live in Asia currently where the player count is not as high, so during my off work time the servers will probably be more accessible.
I think the game director Jonathan is already talking to Amazon to make more servers available, since he didn’t think the hype would be as big as it is now. So don’t waste your holiday/ vacation on it. Don’t expect to play much during the first days. |

I wonder if poe1 servers will simultaneously melt? I imagine so.

Personally I'm expecting technical difficulties, but I never expect smooth launches so I won't be let down if I'm right.
I know GGG will fix it as fast as they can, stuff like this is almost impossible to do right with 0 errors. The scale is just so large you can't really test the server load properly before actual launch. |
