The developers will also introduce the D2R Items login queue, similar to World of Warcraft, to make sure that servers don't get overloaded when hundreds of thousands of game instances are launched at once.
To help with this, we have people working in a login queue similar to the one you had on the game World of Warcraft. This keeps the number of players at the safe level we have at the time, so we can monitor the areas of the system that are straining and address it before it takes the game down completely.
Every time we solve a strain, we'll be in a position to increase the population limits. This login queue has already been implemented in part on the backend (right moment, it appears like an error message in clients) and is expected to be fully installed in the next few days on the PC, with console to follow.
The players' rate will also be reduced, however only in the instances of games being opened, shut down and reconstructed in short spaces of time this is typically the case in which players are farming regions such as Shenk & Eldritch or Pindleskin.
"When this occurs then the error message will be that there's an issue in communicating with game servers: this is not an indicator that game servers have gone down at this specific instance. It's merely a sign you have been rate limited to D2R Ladder Items Buy reduce load temporarily on the database to ensure that the game running." Blizzard advised.
