Foreword:
If you ask most players they will tell you the lag improvements are helping, however there are still some issues during our peak hours when the servers are the most full. Since we want to encourage new players to try Turf Battles we decided this would be a good time to add another server while the Devs continue to fix the lag. The new server will be a good place for new players to create characters and will allow veteran players a place to escape for a while when their server is getting full.
Not a Sub-server
Ideally we’d like to add another sub-server, however we’ve been informed that the islands are currently designed with 2 sub-servers in mind. So this will have to wait for the time being and instead we will be setting up a brand new server.
The New Server: Triumphus
We are setting up a new server named Triumphus, which will mean existing characters won’t be present there. This will be good for newer players. Also this time the new server is not quite as beefy as the other servers, but we’ll test it out and see how it does.
Q&A
Q: Why a new server, I don’t want to start a new character
A: You don’t have to make a new character, please keep playing on Mystic
Q: But I don’t understand, why do a whole new server?
A: New players are on their way, to make room for them and keep the lag under control we need to make new space. Ideally we would be adding another sub-server to Mystic, but due to some limitations at this time that’s not an option
Q: Why did you pick that server name, I don’t like it
A: The name Triumphus was the second most popular voted on by players a long time ago
Q: Can I get a character transfer?
A: We have no plans to offer character transfers
Q: When will you add another sub-server?
A: This will take some time, but hopefully in the near future
** New Server Scheduled to Open this Thursday around 5 or 6PM PST **
