	<a href="http://www.qol.com/live/">Quest Online</a> announced today that its free-to-play MMORPG <a href="http://www.alganon.com"><em>Alganon</em></a> is expanding! The game's reach grows just a wee bit longer with the launch of the Aeon server, located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Players on either continent can choose to play on either server, so there's nothing stopping North American players from throwing down with their friends across the pond.<br />
	<br />
	As a result of this new addition to the <a href="http://www.massively.com/category/alganon"><em>Alganon</em></a> family, players will have a week (until July 19th) to transfer to the Aeon server free of charge. To do so, all you have to do is log into the <a href="http://www.myalganon.com/"><em>Alganon</em> website</a>, choose the My Account option, and click My Transfers. Voila! The new server also comes just in time for the upcoming GM vs. Player battles taking place on July 16th and 17th. For more information, head to <a href="http://www.myalganon.com/">the official <em>Alganon</em> site</a>.</div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/07/13/alganon-opens-european-servers/">Alganon opens European servers</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 13 Jul 2011 09:00:00 EST.

Denizens of <a href="http://www.darkfallonline.com"><em>Darkfall's</em></a> European shard have been subjected to a rough ride of late, and not just from the title's relentless PvP action. Due to a Storage Area Network hardware failure at <a href="http://www.aventurine.gr/">Aventurine's</a> third-party hosting center, players have seen high amounts of latency over the last week.<br />
<br />
The bad news is that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/aventurine">Aventurine</a> doesn't have a specific timetable for correcting the problem. The good news is that the company is currently working on it, as well as prepping for future hardware upgrades. "<em>Performance is an extremely serious issue with us and we're constantly working on improvements. Apart from dealing with this specific issue, we are currently working on major performance upgrades for both servers to be added during the upcoming expansion</em>," says <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/darkfall"><em>Darkfall</em></a>'s Tasos Flambouras on the game's official forums.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/08/30/darkfall-eu-server-latency-issues-to-be-corrected/">Darkfall EU server latency issues to be corrected</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:00:00 EST.

<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/lani-blazier">Lani Blazier</a>, associate producer on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ncsoft">NCsoft</a>'s <em><a href="http://www.aiononline.com">Aion</a></em>, has announced today via Twitter that the game will be opening its arms to <a href="http://twitter.com/aion_liv/status/4376931248">a new North American server</a> very shortly.<br /><br />This announcement most likely comes to many cheers from the community, as server queues have continued all this week on many of the NA servers. While we announced earlier that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/09/25/ncsoft-scrambles-to-reduce-server-queues-private-store-tweaks-i/">private shop changes</a> will be coming to the game in order to reduce AFK spot holders, the new server will be one of the best ways to help spread out the population.<br /><br />The new server is currently unnamed and the time frame is still not set in stone, but Lani has assured everyone that the server will be available sometime this weekend. This post will be updated as more information becomes available.<br /><br />A new European server will follow as well, but as of this posting, the time frame for that server is still up in the air.<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> Fregion [West] has been added to the server list and is now taking players. An East Coast American server and the new European server are also on their way.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/09/25/aion-announces-new-north-american-server-to-be-available-soon/">Aion announces new North American server to be available soon [Updated]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:00:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.darkfallonline.com"><em>Darkfall</em></a>'s first North American server, NA1, is due to launch today. The stage is set for the new server with the release of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/darkfall"><em>Darkfall'</em></a>s expansion, and July 13th is the date declared by both <a href="http://www.us.darkfallonline.com/">the website</a> and the <a href="http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=200044">game's associate producer</a>, Tasos Flambouras.<br /><br />However, beyond a single thread regarding <a href="http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=203159">how to download the new US client</a>, the launch has been very quiet. The <a href="https://accounts.us.darkfallonline.com/account/">account page is now online</a>, <strike>ready to take your payments of 49.98 for <a href="http://www.us.darkfallonline.com/default.php?pname=Article&amp;cat_id=13&amp;year=2009&amp;art_id=9">the brand new NA client</a>.</strike> <strong>Edit:</strong> While the account management is working and you can create an account, <strike>the shop is currently offline and unable to take new purchases of the game.<br /></strike><br />EU users interested in playing on the NA servers with their EU characters will still have to wait, however, as EU players will only be able to transfer to NA three months after the launch. Even then, EU characters will not be allowed to bring their possessions with them, transferring onto the server as a naked player. However, on the bright side, those who wait <a href="http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=198228">will not have to pay for a brand new account</a> to play on the NA server.<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> The shop is now online.
