Path of Exile expansion popularity causes multiple realm crashes

The good news from this past Friday’s Ascendancy expansion in Path of Exile? Apparently it broke the record of player numbers for the first day of a major release in the game. The bad news? All of those players helped contribute to three major server crashes during the first 24 hours.

“Large launches like today’s one are especially prone to crashes because they introduce new code and because many players return to the game at the same time,” the team reported. “We had ten staff available on the weekend to fix problems like this today. They were kept busy!”

The devs reported that the servers should be stable at this point and that they’re putting in further efforts to weed out the issue entirely.
