With Lost Ark entering it’s full release only a few minutes ago, the servers are under siege as the pre-existing player base as well as all the free-to-play adventurers are rushing to jump online and play the game as they head into the weekend. Multiple-hour login queues are common across the board in all regions.
Those who already had access to the game and were hoping to jump in early to avoid this surge were out of luck, as an initial four hour maintenance period followed by the launch being delayed for a further six hours made it impossible to secure a valuable spot.
All across the many Lost Ark community spaces, be it the official Discord, Reddit or Twitter, those eager to play the game are sharing their feelings toward the insurmountable waits awaiting them - often in the form of screenshots showing how long they’ll need to wait in order to finally play the game, the occasional brilliant meme.
