and then usually the bolts holding your bed together go missing and you can't complete the bed and now you gotta sleep on the ground mattress.

That makes zero sense of logic, but alright

Your question will lead to a predictable dialogue. The game will launch and you will find out about it fairly quickly. I advise you to take a break from waiting and think about why this information is so important to you.

Hi everyone,

 

We know many of you have been waiting for an update, and we want to be as transparent as possible. As you’re aware, the recent downtime was not something we were informed about or given advance warning for, but we are doing everything we can to get the servers back online as soon as possible.

 

We are actively working with our service provider, and preparations are in progress. Based on the current timeline, we expect to have everything back online by Friday. This has been a difficult situation, and we know it’s far from ideal for anyone.

 

If anything changes, we’ll make sure to update you as soon as possible.

 

Thank you for your patience.

so....any updates or news or any info? please

@everyone "Unfortunately our provider hasn't been very communicative during this process. We have been told our servers were migrated to a new location in LA. I have had the team ready to jump in and start turning things on since last night. But no word yet. Sorry"

Thanks for the information. If the server remains in Los Angeles then this means to me that it is better not to enter the game.

I was quite surprised that literally nothing been written in here from LO instead of only at their discord... However, yeah I don't expect it to be online today or tomorrow then. :C

Just to add to this conversation about the server migration—LA servers come with some serious challenges when it comes to migration and gameplay, and I don’t think a lot of people realize just how expensive this move could be. LA is a major tech hub, and that usually means higher hosting costs compared to other locations in the U.S. (though I could be wrong, as I’m not from the U.S.). But we’re not just talking about basic server fees—there are a ton of additional costs: data transfer, migration fees, DDoS protection (which they absolutely should have), and network optimization. All of that adds up fast, and for a game like APB Reloaded, we could be looking at anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 or more a month just to keep things running. That’s money that could have gone into development, updates, or even just better infrastructure elsewhere.

 

And let’s be real—this isn’t just about cost and fees of the game. Moving the servers to LA isn’t great for players either. East Coast and international players are going to feel the latency spike, which means more lag, worse performance, and potentially dead NA/EU servers if the connection isn’t stable. Plus, if that wasn’t enough of a headache, let’s throw in California’s shaky power grid and earthquake risks—because nothing says “smooth gaming experience” like unexpected blackouts or disaster-related downtime. Add network congestion and poor routing into the mix, and you’ve got a perfect storm for unpredictable lag spikes that’ll just frustrate players even more. I really, truly hope this migration goes as smoothly as possible, and that the dev team can pull it off with minimal issues. But I can’t sit here and pretend that I’m confident it’ll be problem-free when the servers relaunch. No game is by any means perfect, and APB is a great example of that, they all come with issues I just hope everything gets sorted out eventually.

That's good to hear! 

 

Actually, my sanity is starting to come back, I think... LO would you mind getting the servers back up maybe.. Next month?
