Where Winds Meet Long Queue Times
Given the game's popularity even before its global launch (with over 10 million pre-registered players), we expect a massive surge of players attempting to enter the game when it goes live. When that happens, the servers may not be able to handle the influx, leading to long queue times.
If that happens, the best thing you can do is simply wait and hope for the best, but don’t leave the game for any reason, or your queue timer will reset and you’ll be placed at the back of the line. If you don’t want to wait, just go do something else for an hour or two until the server pressure eases. After that, you’ll likely be able to enter the game immediately.
Where Winds Meet Maintenance Schedule & Downtime
There is currently no scheduled maintenance for the game. However, because it is an always-online game, the servers will occasionally go offline to apply major updates, new content, and other patches that require downtime. When that happens, we will update this article promptly with the official Where Winds Meet maintenance schedule and the expected downtime duration.
