Lost Ark Encourages Server Swaps With Free Loot

Lost Ark has officially launched after a brief delay pushed back the availability of the free-to-play version of the game, but as players might’ve expected with the launch of any new MMO, the servers are still pretty congested with everybody trying to hop into more active ones. Players have naturally considered switching over to a different server, but for those who purchased one of the game’s Founder’s Pack to get early access before the free-to-play launch, they’ve been hesitant to make the jump after having already redeemed their packs and included items. Smilegate is trying to incentivize those players to switch over by guaranteeing them the same loot in their Founder’s Pack again if they swap. The post over on the Lost Ark site acknowledged the server problems and the unsurprising queues for people waiting to get into the game. It also addressed the concerns players had about switching servers and said there was a plan in place. That plan is to essentially guarantee players get another set of their Founder’s Pack items to be redeemed on a different server along with some extra Royal Crystals for the trouble.
