Additional Realms on The Way For WildStar Due to "Enormous Demand"

After WildStar transferred to F2P the MMO's servers are struggling to keep up.

WildStar demand has been high after it was switched to a free-to-play model, as a result, developer Carbine Studios is adding additional realms that should help to reduce the issues players have been encountering.

"Since we launched earlier this week, a huge number of new and returning players have experienced the game," Carbine wrote on its website. "We understand that, for some, the experience hasn't been what it should be. Frankly, our megaservers are not handling the load they should. This means our server capacity isn't keeping up with demand. We are working very hard to fix this and making improvements every hour."

The developer hopes that all the problems will be helped by opening four new realms in the United States and Europe. "Adding these realms will significantly increase the amount of players who can get into WildStar," Carbine stated." We believe that this will address the issues above, dramatically improving the game experience, reducing lag, and improving queues."

WildStar originally launched as a subscription-based game last year. Developer Carbine announced that it will be adopting a free-to-play model, which was released as part of a big update on September 29.
