How to fix Lost Ark long server queues issue?
Players are experiencing long server queues in Lost Ark game. The game devs are working to fixes this issue. More details related to the Lost Ark long server queue issue will be posted here.
Lost Ark Character Creation Limits on Servers
Lost Ark has limited the creation of characters by new players on servers that have reached large queue times. This will aid in preventing queues from increasing further as our player base continues to grow.
