Aion server queues unlikely to be "repeated regularly"

NCsoft MMO Aion's been experiencing some clogging issues since it went live yesterday, with many seeing waits of several hours before being able to get a-levelling.

The publisher isn't worried.

"This isn't a scenario that's likely to be repeated regularly since it's really just about that initial rush of players trying to gain access to the game," a rep told EG.

"These next few days we will be calculating data and weighing the ideal time to open more servers. I think that the community will understand how important a healthily populated server in a game with PvPvE is, and that we do not want to go down the low-pop server path."

The game releases in Europe on Friday.
