APOLLO

Dear players,

Apollo III has been running non-stop since the launch today, and there have been so many players that even the queue had to be used a bit to keep our servers operable (if the queue continues to increase, we will also consider layering). Thankfully, due to our updated hardware and prior preparations, the server has been stable since the launch and there haven’t been many issues that would prevent you from enjoying the game, making this so far the best launch of Cataclysm in the history of TwinStar, and we have actually set the highest record in player population since we started Cataclysm. We are very thankful for all your interest in Apollo projects, and we hope you will stay with us in the future.

So far the largest issue has been the faction imbalance in favour of the Horde, which is unfortunately not getting better. We have tried to come up with several solutions within our capability to fix this issue, but before we have to use more drastic measures, we would like to give you the opportunity to improve the situation.

After tomorrow morning’s restart, a special NPC will be added to the Valley of Strength in Orgrimmar which will allow you to change your faction for free. After you use this NPC, all you need is to log out and you will be able to switch to Alliance. This option will be available to all Horde characters, until the situation gets better.

Some of you have encountered latency issues that might be caused by the super high traffic, and we are also searching for solutions, like adding another network route. In the meantime, we advise you to try all of our 4 realmlists to find the best connection, as always.

Thank you for your continuous support!
