Summoners!
On February 19th we opened a new League of Legends data center on the East Coast of the United States. These servers are set as a spillover point for capacity issues in both the US and Europe. The center is already hard at work helping us reduce queue times on the European service, while we work toward expanding our footprint in Europe.
This new data center will allow us to avoid future downtime issues, both from sharp increases in player signups, and from any unforeseen complications with our primary servers.
In the meantime, should you find yourself playing a game on one these new servers, please be patient. We are currently working to add more servers to our European data centers as quickly as possible.
As always, we’re very interested in your feedback, so please keep us informed of your experiences in game as we continue making these improvements.
