First off we'd like to welcome the newest members of the community to Fallen Earth. It's great to see all the new faces and watch the Help channel explode with questions, comments, love and a bit of rage (although Tiggs might not agree
We also wanted to let you know that we are aware that many of the starter towns and capital cities are bustling, and at times running slowly, occasionally kicking players and doing other generally nasty stuff. We (like you) are not happy about this, and are doing some things to get the game up to snuff given the influx of users from Steam and other channels. Here is what we are working on right now:
1. Moving Embry Crossroads and all starter towns onto much, much beefier hardware. This will have an immediate impact, and should decrease the amount of lag that players are seeing in those areas. This will require us to restart some of those areas in the next couple hours, and we will let you know (in-game) what those areas are prior to us doing so.
2. Implement improvements in server memory management to better handle high player load. This will also increase general performance in all areas, and allow high-traffic areas to hold more players. This requires a full restart and will most likely happen later today
3. Upgrade to a more capable branch of the xScape engine, that will allow us to handle 3-4x more players in an area. This is a big change that we hope to launch in the next few days, and will yield significant improvements in performance.
We have been working around the clock to get these and other improvements implemented, and we appreciate your patience.
