This caused a lot of the lag you experienced with looting, quests, and other actions.

We experienced database I/O delay due to the large influx of players. We will closely monitor the situation after the patch. Authentication failure was identified as the issue between STEAM and BLESS servers when players attempted to log-in. The issue with getting stuck on the “BLESS” loading screen issues has now been fixed. They have now expanded to six NA servers and four EU servers as a result. Within three hours all three of the NA servers flooded with players to the point that many experienced waiting queues while the studio struggled to add more servers. Sungjin explains that the studio had prepared three NA servers along with two EU servers for Advanced Access.

The entire development team is committed to identifying and addressing the causes of current performance issues and we are doing our best to solve them as our TOP PRIORITY. First of all, we would like to sincerely apologize to everyone who participated our Head Start as Founders for the recent issues which resulted in long waits and many inconveniences. I would like to address the connection, login, and server crash issues from the large influx of players that some of you have been experiencing. The entire Bless Team and I would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the Founders for your support shown since our Advanced Access on May 28th. In a Steam update, Producer Sungjin Ko apologized to players and explains what NEOWIZ BLESS STUDIO are planning to do. The MMO title Bless Online that is currently in Early Access received its latest V1.0.0.3 update on May 30th which resolved some issues and identified others.
