I'm not sure what's up with the server or why it's acting this way but it's insane.
I've been trying to log onto era for the past 30 mins and nothing happens, this is a serious problem era should fix, having a whack server that barely keeps up with the amount of players playing will just decrease the amount of fun on the game, therefor no one will enjoy playing anymore.
I believe that most player face this problem at the moment. Fix the damn server.
