Hi
@EA_Cath Thanks for replying to
@MikeyJohn2 &
@MaddogNutty1969 I'm afraid there could be a little more going on than that, though.
I'm a long-time, regular player with a friend on European servers & for months there have been loading problems - starting with error msgs saying trouble connecting to EA servers & to check your own connections - if you disregard this & continue trying, you will eventually get in, but it may take 2 or 3 attempts and this is every single time you try to load - not just occasional problems. (A similar thing is also happening in GW1 & there you eventually get in & it appears that your player level has been reset to 1, until you opt to start a multiplayer game when your level details & inventory return).
Then for the past week, we have had the empty lobbies, unable to find any European ones at all - and again, this has been every single time we try to enter a multiplayer game & every game mode, regardless of time of day or evening. During this time, my friend & I have ended up playing on America East servers, as it was available with least ping but yesterday we had the empty lobbies on there as well & ended up on America West servers.
I've experienced many issues in PVZ GW2 over the years & come to expect occasional hiccups, but this is unusual in being so persistent - has there actually been some kind of server reduction for the game?
