Trion Worlds Adds Rift Shard Status Page to Site

Trion Worlds has added a shard status page to the official Rift site so you can view the population, queue size and maintenance status of all North American and European servers.

There are currently 35 North American servers and 26 European servers. As far as queues are concerned, NA PvP server Briarcliff is currently in the lead for the longest wait time. Of course, that could change in the blink of an eye.

For those of you in the Rift Head Start, what have your experiences been with server queues? Do you still have a lengthy wait, or has the addition of new shards helped you quickly get into Telara? Let us know in the comments below.

I play on Keenblade and the Ques are all over the map. The worst seems to be around 7-8pm where the Ques are 2 hours long to almost 0 if you log on around midnight. In the afternoons the Ques are are around 30 mins.

While I understand this is being relieved by adding servers it will not change most que lengths as people who have characters are still going to go to their old server to play their lvl 30+ chars instead of making new chars on new servers. IMO they need to offer transfers to unpopulated servers to alleviate the problem.

It's the nature of the beast playing on full servers. If you didn't want a queue you would roll on a lesser populated server. I've been playing on rocklift since day 1 of headstart and have only had a mild queue on the first day. since then has been instant in and there are more than enough people to group with etc.

On a side note it looks like the full/high pop servers have been locked to character creation.

Hello,

The queues are horrendous.Minimum of 2 hours and during peak time 3-4. Something needs to be done.Add more servers and server transfers for entire guilds. Many of my guildies are talking of quitting saying if it is this bad now what will happen after release.

Server Queues
# Feb 27 2011 at 1:06 PM Rating: Decent
I am on the Seastone server and the Queues are ridiculous. Yesterday evening I tried to log in and had a 3hr 42min queue. I went to dinner and came back, finished waiting and got disconnected. When it reconnected me...it shot me to the back of the queue and I had to wait another 2 hours. The server is almost always full and the only time I have not had to wait was after a server rash or reboot.

I am on the Alsbeth server.

I have had ZERO wait time for this server every time I have logged in, which is at least 4-5 times a day since it's dangerous to randomly AFK in zones.
