Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 no servers or anyone playing?

So, I decided recently to log back onto gw2 to start playing again and max characters as i am close to max rank. Anyway, i cannot seem to find any lobbies unless its at 11am in the morning and its 1 turf lobby. After or before that, no lobbies at all. And when it says "found the best match" you just get put into a map where it is only you and no it isnt to do with school days as I tried logging on today at 4pm and no lobbies were going. So, has Gw2 died or is it just server issues?

  • @MaddogNutty1969 I guess server issues. There have been significant server issues on and off for the past couple of months (years?).
    Yesterday I was playing in the North American East servers with full games on Turf Takeover. But tonight, I am experiencing the same as you, empty Wallnut Hills maps...

    @MikeyJohn2 @MaddogNutty1969 Hi there,

    This issue can happen when daily servers restarts after crashing issues. After the restart those servers can show as being empty but it shouldn't last long.
  • 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?
  • @EA_Cath Thanks for responding. But how about the "Failed to find a match" errors that have been increasing over the last week or so across all regional servers. Please look into this as multiplayer is broken again.
