Here where I live, it’s Saturday. In other countries where the servers to my favorite games are located, it’s still Friday. The Good News? Updates. New stuff filling up the games and everything that makes the games look new. The bad news? Server overload. It’s hard to get to the servers since most are full. The only way to get around this? Check this out:

  1. Most games have these “No-Chat” Servers. Since most prefer the ones that have chat, these servers have less players and may perform better than the chat servers. Although you can only talk by using canned chat, at least you get to play.
  2. Play on a weekday (except Friday). During this time, all players have already gotten tired of the game and resume with other things. During this time, the servers are least populated leaving you being able to play the game.
  3. If you can’t wait for the weekdays, or have no time, you can try playing at morning or at least 5 hours after the update. There are times when ever with the different times there will always be a slow time. During this slow time you can log in.
  4. Play after a server restart. Sometimes, the servers restart to add some feature they forgot to add. When it does restart, player populations are decimated, leaving you a spot at the server.

Sometimes, if you can’t take it the waiting you can still push yourself through the server by waiting for a player to log out and give you a chance to get in. Although this is a bad idea since it takes eternity or extreme luck to do it succefully, you can try it. RESULTS MAY VARY
