PTC 1.3.10.0 Server Consolidation Test

Hey everyone,

With 1.3.10.0 due to release on the Public Test Client ~~very soon~~ (available now!), we will be testing the upcoming server consolidation and character migration process. We’d appreciate if anyone who had previously created a character on the testing server to participate, as it will help us polish the feature before live release.

Some players are concerned about the process, either because they prefer low-population servers or because of server performance issues. Performance has not been great recently for players on the most popular servers, such as Pax and Harmony. We are aware of the subpar player experience last weekend and are working tirelessly to resolve the issue before communicating any next steps. We appreciate your patience on this matter.

We’d also like to clarify that the current population of these worlds isn’t the objective of the server consolidation process. Since players will decide where to go, some worlds may be busier than others. However, the goal is to have enough worlds to support organic player migration, resulting in an expected average population lower than that of the most popular servers currently.

We have an article planned for next week with more information, and we want to assure you that we won’t start the migration process until the main issues hindering the player experience are resolved.
