We have yet again broken the simultaneous player record, with just over 197k players online at the same time. To accommodate for this massive growth we have put 5 new worlds online in a new location - Stockholm, Sweden. This should alleviate some of the contention for slots on our busy Amsterdam servers. 3 of the worlds are for free players and 2 are for members only.
Enjoy the extra space!
