Of this there is no doubt: The Dark and Light team is getting very little sleep this week.
The reworked fantasy sandbox released on Steam Early Access yesterday, and it went as these things typically do. There were a lot of players crowding onto the servers to see what the deal was (5,508 people at one point), and the hardware took a clobbering.
The team thanked players for their patience and said that it is adjusting to the influx of population: “It’s been quite a launch day! We’re still adding servers and working on alleviating issues in higher-population servers, as well as supporting additional regions.”

Meanwhile, Snail has this afternoon implemented a brand-new patch meant to address some of the launch’s issues.
Our first patch has just gone live – PvE servers, balance changes, bug fixes, and more! Read the full notes here: https://t.co/zGhl1yGnKB pic.twitter.com/klrB9GKxKQ
