Tja, aus 11 mach 4. Seit heute hat man einen Monat Zeit seinen Char auf einen von vier Servern zu packen (s.u.). Damit soll die Bevölkerungsdichte erhöht werden und wenn ich das richtig sehe, werden bei der Gelegenheit die EU-Server auch abgeschaltet. Da hat es wohl an Erfolg gefehlt, etwas mehr Marketing wäre vielleicht eine gute Idee gewesen.

Character Transfers to be Enabled Tuesday, April 15th
04.14.08 by Aether

On Tuesday, April 15th, from 1:30a Pacific Time, there will be a brief, rolling outage in order to enable server transfers for your characters.

When Pirates of the Burning Sea launched on January 22nd, we introduced our customers to 11 new game servers. Through feedback from our players and evaluation of our server populations, it has become clear that key game features require populations of higher density in order to function at optimum levels. When you take into account both the disparity in player time zones and the delayed launch of our title in some countries, we were spreading our overall population too thin. Also, in more recent builds, we were able to improve our server technology to allow for an even larger population than we were originally equipped to handle.

Providing our customers with the best game play experience is our first priority. Condensing our populations will lead to a richer, more vibrant game play experience for all involved, and our customers whole-heartedly agree. The character transfer option will not be available to our Australian customers on the Invincible server.

How is this going to work?
Tomorrow morning, during our usual maintenance period (1:30a Pacific), we will be restarting the servers in order to activate a configuration change. Each server will likely be down for only a half hour. When the servers are back up, you will be able to follow the instructions at this link to move characters from one server to another.

What servers can I transfer to?
Players will be able to transfer their characters to any of the following servers:

* Roberts
* Blackbeard
* Rackham
* Antigua

At the same time that character transfers are activated on Tuesday morning, we will be disabling the creation of new characters on the following servers:

* Bonny
* Guadeloupe
* Kidd
* Morgan
* Bellamy
* Bonnet
* Hornigold
