Today was the first day of Tower of Fantasy after its official global launch. Tower of Fantasy is the latest MMORPG game by Level Infinite that is going on top of the popularity chart right now. The game is very similar to Genshin Impact with its anime aesthetics. Like its competitor, Tower of Fantasy is also facing long waiting queues due to overwhelming server traffic.
Tower of Fantasy is also facing the common MMO launch issue
Extraordinarily long waiting for queues after launch seems to be a trend for new MMORPG games. If you were present during the Genshin Impact launch, you must have had the same experience. Genshin Impact was also unplayable after its launch to an overwhelming crowd on the servers.
Many players are trying to get into the game together, causing these massively long waiting queues. For many people, The game is stuck on the update screen due to the crowd. Many who could get past that screen were kicked or booted out of the server due to the massive traffic. Players are getting an estimated queue time of up to 10 hours.
Many people are being suggested changing servers to reduce queue time. But that is less likely to help as all SEA, Europe, or APAC servers are already red with long waiting queues. Previously, when Genshin Impact faced this issue, miHoYo resolved the issue within the first day. Now what Hotta Studio will do about the problem is still a question. However, since it’s a studio from Perfect World Games and Tencent is also working, we hope they will fix the issue within a day.
The developers had previously released a statement regarding possible launch-time issues
Previously, the developers of Tower of Fantasy addressed the issue of any possible bug during the launch on their official website. The statement read:
