That was a slog - but as of about an hour ago, the EU servers are now live!
Right now we have two EU servers running in Frankfurt - and I am very curious to see the performance of those that used to play across the pond before.
More news to come shortly about the upcoming patch.
Cheers,
There is no God!
ReplyDeleteWhat about the invites?
ReplyDeleteThere's barely any population left on the US servers... How about doing some mass inviting so we can actually play after everybody disperses?
ReplyDelete@pimp: so most of them are eu players Oo? oh noz :P
ReplyDeletebtw next step is patch 1.5
after that check if everything is running fine
then they will invite 25k more ppl mostly from eu if im right...
maybe they should take an eye for east us ppls to even if im from germany :P
hope it works everything well and it can get done quick
great job about the eu servers now the only thing left is the invites to the game :)
ReplyDeletenice but stil buged and cheaters
ReplyDeleteYAAAAYYY FOR EU SERVERS!!
ReplyDeleteive been playing on US for the last couple weeks with a ping averaging at 250, but spiking as high as 1000ms. now on EU... average ping of 35, no higher than 50 =D (P.S. This is from Scotland)
I hope Bjorn is going to tell if they've already invited more people. I'd like to know if I'm getting in CB or OB, would save me a lot of waiting :/
ReplyDeleteMy heart is quivering with anticipation for OB x3
ReplyDeletethen wait for OB
ReplyDeleteWhen we'll get our invitations ?
ReplyDelete@Joel
ReplyDeleteAnd that, I'll do :D
keeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy plz
ReplyDeleteCool.
ReplyDeletenow I only need the key :D
ReplyDelete@Sascha Yes, I'm capable of reading too.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, when you have a current population of ~500 people, about to be split in half, while 10% sit in social, you're not going to have any fully populated districts on either side.
be patient pimp, maybe some us players try to play on eu :P is this even possible?
ReplyDeletei dont want too crowded servers anyways so, hope some arent belong to eu servers xD
hf to do whatever u lonely apb player want to do ;)
Okay...a few more steps to OB...Releasing 1.5 patch in CB to see if its all working...a short intermission between CB and OB...and Tadaaaaa...OB
ReplyDelete@ IOU345
ReplyDeletewaiting also sucks :( im tire of that
Ping hit 6ms at one point while playing in Waterfront.
ReplyDeleteQuite low compared to the ~300ms I get on the US server.
Keep up the good work G1.
Great work! Can u activate my account? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteKILLERKIDYOlolRE
ReplyDeleteon obeya enforcer LETS GO
50-130ms of lag in European servers, compared to the 350-600 I had in the American server. Im in heaven! XD
ReplyDeleteawesome news, have fun EU's.
ReplyDelete@ Joel thats my name, give it back lol
ReplyDeleteBeen waiting here in Canada for 2 months for an activation at roblok26@yahoo.com -.-
ReplyDeleteGREAT ! THX. Finally US players cant own any match !
ReplyDeleteTsc... so now the few players actually playing can split between US and EU good job -_- so how about mass inviting 50k players from US and any player who don't log in at least once a day lose his place in line on beta?
ReplyDeleteplease activate my account :(
ReplyDeleteHave fun EU! I didn't get my account activated though ;( Oh well.
ReplyDeleteaww was hoping to see if this ment that i could actually drive before i had to head off to work but it seems the G1 servers are down for upgrading
ReplyDeleteah well after all this a few more hours of wait wont be so bad =)
"There's barely any population left on the US servers... How about doing some mass inviting so we can actually play after everybody disperses?"
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting revelation, and goes back to me wondering ~ Did the European community have much more activity and community than the US?
Interesting.
I think there's alot of people who are burned out and waiting on this 1.50 patch / Open Beta.
ReplyDeleteAnd alot of people are just bummed out about the new TTK and dont think the game is fun any more... :(
ReplyDeleteSome US players ping better to the new EU servers than they do to the one in their own state/country
ReplyDeleteThis is unacceptable. Fix the Westcoast US server already.
Do we get a mail when our accounts are activated?, please make an update on this blog when u activate EUs accounts :D.
ReplyDeleteI really wanna know when, im looking forward to it so much:)
ReplyDeleteAwwww i got excited for nothing :( Still no invite. Anyway keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteInvite pls.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great new, thank's for the APB Reloaded team! :)

@Killerkidyo
ReplyDelete:DD Nice work
got a 300 - 400 ping on us server and now on eu got a 500 or higher ping and i'm from germany whats wrong?!^^
ReplyDelete@Bjorn
ReplyDeleteHey I remember you mentioning those who got beta keys would all eventually get earlier access to the game. Is that going to happen with the next round of invites? or is it still down the road?
now i can play the game!! nice work! but i wonder about the vehicules... they are still long to respond, even better than on US server... should be my computer...
ReplyDeleteNice, new servers.
ReplyDeleteWhen can we play on them?.
Um... Guys? I'm in Europe and I got a beta key a while back I've filled it in but I havn't got invited does thata mean I wont get to play CB or gotta wait till they invite me?
ReplyDelete@Lewis you should wait for an invite .
ReplyDeleteDumptruck Overture
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLPtaV5TInw
@Lewis: pray that we will get accepted this week
ReplyDeletehope dies last :P
what about better optimalization, game should work on max details and i got 20 fps on minimum lol + 20 more my friends got same problems 10-30 fps on newest pcs my mate spent 2k $ and he cant run game on minimum
ReplyDelete/me waits fore an ivite and got a little hope again 'cuz of EU Server
ReplyDeleteI want to test this game again :/
*invite
ReplyDelete@Rene...you just failed...bad...
ReplyDeleteanyway...So can we expect our accounts to go online tomorrow? would like to play on this weekend already.
When i try to login it says the login server isnt working..
ReplyDeleteIts great! Thank you guys for setting up EU Server! The whole game is completly changed, the way the vehicles drive, the gunfights, everything. It is a ton of more fun now! Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteWaiting since January for the CBT! .__.
ReplyDeletefollowing the blog every day LOL
I start to think I'll just go play the OBT...
almost three months of waiting for activation!
"I remember you mentioning those who got beta keys would all eventually get earlier access to the game. Is that going to happen with the next round of invites?" #achiliez
I remember that too! and in time, I doubted that!
[So if you received a Beta Application Key at some point and you are now just waiting around for "your wave"]
WTF!!!!! 25% OF THE COMMENTS ARE ALL "cool news, activate me"
ReplyDeletei "love" the internet
i dont have beta but i am not going around begging for it...
please, just wait for ob,
here is a tip to be more patont,
do NOT expect to get into closed beta, it will save you alot of inbox checking and hoping, plus, it will be that much MORE exiting if you check your inbox and see that you did get into closed beta :D
Awesome news... that should get my ping down considerably when I'm finally allowed in. By the way when can I expect to be allowed in? I redeemed my closed beta key back in February when I got it in the mail. What gives?
ReplyDelete@Adam
ReplyDelete"YAAAAYYY FOR EU SERVERS!!

Exactly the same location, exactly the same result! Latency is awesome for us on these servers, absolutely stunning! Suddenly APB just got a WHOLE LOT more exiting!
so if the server are running well they could invite now isnt it :S
ReplyDeleteLet's just hope the game will be back up and running soon :)
ReplyDeleteStfu with your invite comments plz.
ReplyDeleteYou have your chance with the application and if you not in the beta so wait for the open.
And dont ask for the open.
Its come when its come!
YES COMRADES OPEN BETA IT COME WHEN ITS COME!
ReplyDeleteDO NOT TALK WITH INVITATION PLEASE! YOU CHANCE WHEN WRITE APPLICATION. IF NOT IN BETA WAIT FOR DIFFERENT BETA. ASK NOT FOR DIFFERENT BETA. COMRADES ITS COME WHEN ITS COME!
CapsCrew @ Paal K?
ReplyDeleteHey Bjorn where are the News?
(More news to come shortly about the upcoming patch.)
Its Friday time for a new Wave i think :D
Greetings from Germany
This just in:
ReplyDeletea horde of of undead zombies - supposedly of former APB fans that parised during a failed hunger strike aimed to force Gamers First to release APB:reloaded ahead of time regardless of bugs and incomplite segments - have been spotted outside of G1's headquaters attempting to storm the building
Authorities warn civilians to not approach the horde or attempt to feed them, citizens are also adviced to stay in doors and remain calim untill the situation is under control
this has been you're randomly selected news report by Xesha - stay tuned for more random news and chaos
yes sir... time for a wave for germany ;D
ReplyDeletetime for news ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the attention to hackers....that was my first main issue, but you still have absolutely no in-game method of reporting, which is a fail. My second main issue, even before opening EU servers up, there is only close to 1% of the original 25,000 beta-invited testers participating. Since APB was a ghost-town under RTW, and still is, how is GF going to attract a very large and active following so the game isn't a single-player borish linear grind?
ReplyDeletei agree with your hacker issue. but most of the time i personally think the guys i think cheat are just good players.
ReplyDelete2nd when OB starts there will be alot of players playing. only for me its 6 of my friends without beta invite that will join ;)
And if they hold their promisses with new content i think they will get a constant playerbase.
Yep if G1 Does what RTW couldnt this game could become the next world of warcraft...because the original idea is SO GREAT but RTW executed it poorly so....
ReplyDelete@myccraft APB will never be the next World of Warcraft. I played both and and you can't even compare the two...
ReplyDelete@Marcio Costa...i played both too....and world of warcraft Gets annoying and retarded really fast
ReplyDeleteWhere Are 1.5
ReplyDelete@mycraft so youre saying that if G1 does this right APB:R will become annoying and retarded soon?
ReplyDeleteWell the new TTK is surely getting us there quickly...
i didnt mean that...i meant it may get as popular as wow but nowhere near as retarded
ReplyDelete@Márcio Costa
ReplyDeletebecause APB is a mmo shooter ...
and not a mmorpg? ಠ_ಠ
LOL
newbies! -_-

ReplyDelete@fake bjorn: u need a doctor
ReplyDeletepeace 8-)
HELP.
ReplyDeleteim from portugal, EU, i was selected for closed beta, but now the only region that is available for me is North America.
i really wanna play it. do i have to download something again? help me please!
no if you create new character you can select eu server;) region is not mater ;) but latenci is bad ;) i have on speedtest.net latenci 14 to franfurt and ingame have 70-120
ReplyDeletenew char? i've never played it. new account maybe?
ReplyDeleteno just log in in US region and the when you create a character you can choose EU or US...
ReplyDelete@GamersFirst: Pls start more EU Beta Invites...
beta invite start after they decide update game to 1.50 ;) they said update been before or with start eu server ;) they say lot of things but dont do them ;)
ReplyDeletebecouse this game is good concept but bad programed and failed optimalized game engine (i never seen worse handling with U3 engine) and failed optimalize network ;)
they try fix all what RTW messed up but its hard becouse RTW make this game EPIC FAIL ;)
ok that means weeks of waiting before invites are actually sent out... broken promises over and over again...
ReplyDeleteNo love for European players. Have been waiting forever.
ReplyDeletetheshadow: but i can't play at all, it apears code error 10010 something like this
ReplyDeleteG1 you seriously need more testers...me and my friend were walking around the action districts and we saw like 15 different people max....Like we checked all gas stations....contacts and stuff
ReplyDeleteInvites please!
ReplyDelete@Sintax
ReplyDeleteYour completely and utterly wrong in everyway, your computer must suck really bad, i dont lag at all. You also dont have a clue about beta tests and QA patches, they never said it was a definate they said IF, I know thats a big word for someone like you but google it (if you know how to spell it).
when we have more news???
ReplyDeleteHonestly, it would be nice to know an extreamly loose time frame for anxious players not unlike myself. Something like.. shooting for mid July for open beta and August for launch. Those of us who are following the posts already know that game development is dynamic, but at least we don't have to suffer daily hoping for some word of hope. It give us some sanity back.
ReplyDelete@Iandon In one of the first blogs it says that it may slip as late as August for release.
ReplyDelete@ Random Trolls
Does any1 actually remember RTW and the bullshit we were spoon fed day in day out. Techmech does not have to make these posts but he tries to give us as much feedback as possible.
If APB is to survive long term then they can take as long as they need getting things sorted.
Theres most likely some bugs in the patch that need ironing out. Theres only a small team its not Treyarch or Dice with hundreds of employees. every man hour counts and they all have lives outside of APB.
i can't play APB. even when i boght the first game. my computer told me that evrything was well and matched all the requirements. then when i start it up it tells me that my hardware doesn't meet the requirements! was really lloking forward to this :(
ReplyDeleteI would really love to play. i bought the game then a week later it says servers are down!!! umm i worked hard for the money to buy the game so i would like to play once in a life time!!!
ReplyDeleteААААААААААааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааа
ReplyDeletestill no love for the eu players ?
ReplyDeleteOh dear,
ReplyDeleteI really think they SHOULD activate CB accounts.
A new era began. The time of waiting is over.
I activared mii beta key in Feb.
And YET no invitation. I think they should let
original APB players earlier in than new guys.
I played APB since key to city. One month later I see that all servers are down.
It felt like I was scammed. I worked hard for mii money and suddenly all servers are down. I couldn't even acces their site!
AND YET we still can't play.
Goodjob G1,
But still RTW was much and much better than G1.
RTW has less time to release the game, because EA came in da game and FORCED RTW to release the game.
I smell laziness and failure in G1-team

ReplyDeletehaste makes waste
ReplyDeleteReally this reload looks pretty poor right now... US wave was like 6 weeks ago? And u promise to make seconds wave in 1 or 2 weeks after first... Since that i start to doubt your competence.
ReplyDeleteLoved apb very much. Spent much time playing it. Please if you take so much time on doing something with it DONT FK THAT UP.
@RPN yes... they promise alot but they dont do things..
ReplyDeleteEU servers were up 4 days ago, 4 fkin' days!..
next step is WAVE 2
are they selecting people or what...
their promises have lost their credibility..
@Phosgene oh shut the F up....really?you expect everyone to be like activision and release half assed products every 2 days?...BE PATIENT....Jesus
ReplyDeleteHi there
ReplyDeletewhat about these quotes?
http://forums.gamersfirst.com/index.php?showtopic=147914&st=0
special this one:
No, we're days away from open beta at this point so we won't be inviting more people to the closed beta.
Greetings from Germany
No 1.5 today?
ReplyDeletei hope to 2012 before the life on earth ends to try this game... Gj guys keep it up, maybe diablo 3 will be relesed sooner ! ... jesus
ReplyDeletenobody like working on sunday u know
ReplyDeleteno need to "work"... they'd just release some beta keys to EU....
ReplyDeleteHi. i have a problem,i cant login into the game, but i have a beta key. can someone help me pls, i realy wanna play the game.grtz
ReplyDelete@myccraft
ReplyDeletehah... they always say next week this next week this..
And at this point they said.. FIRST we will open EU servers AMD then we will invite another 25k gamers.
So maybe you are drunk or you need to learn how to read but that is what they said bro.
4 days checking if EU servers are running propper is unnecessary, a better check is: inviting 25k gamers.
Ok that hurts my eyes. Way to much whining. Anyhow G1 next time you do a beta, make certain Application can be updated. My DXdiag in no way represents my Current setup. When I started submitted it I had a 5 year old PC. Now I have a PC new PC from alienware. (got tired of playing new games on low settings.
ReplyDeleteIs it so difficult to invite some european people? I don't think so! So what are u waiting for? I don't understand why you're acting like that. It takes less than 5 minutes to invite people, so can u please do it? Thanks.
ReplyDeletePanic please stfu!
ReplyDeleteG1 invited people if they want to, not when players want it.
And it takes longer then 5 minutes.
You stfu! Maybe you already received the activation that's why you're talking like that, but I've been waiting for 2 months to play. So don't tell me what to say, I say whatever I want!
ReplyDelete@myccraft
ReplyDeleteSo what.. gimme 4 days with you in a room and
you'll see what would happen. 4 days is alot..
and I've been waiting alot now..
20 march Open beta prepping..
17 april still waiting..
it doesn't work at all with mine, which is stupid, unfair and plainly anooying.
ReplyDeletePanic talk what you want but G1 is fair and don't invite ppl they spam here :)
ReplyDeleteBut i wish you good luck for the next wave :)
Erm... maybe one day I can put this windows seven to test out the apb beta :(
ReplyDeleteis anyone els unable 2 get into the gamersfirst websight
ReplyDeleteAnyone see the jmerriex post last night on mmorpg? "We're working very hard to get Open Beta live this month."
ReplyDeleteIts the ask neume forum topic.
Neume=jmerriex (apb producer supposedly)
Can anyone verify this/he is legit?
@Phosgene...then go out and get some air.....
ReplyDeleteHello ^^ Im new to APB and i am very excited wish the developers much luck !!
ReplyDeleteI have some questions:
Do happen anything if you drive over the citizens? (i mean as Enforcer)
Excelent !!! APB the BEST GAME !
ReplyDeletewell its live now....
ReplyDelete
