Secret Server Upgrade for Midyear Mayhem Event???

Xzysts · February 2021

Kinda curious how Midyear Mayhem PvP is flawless across the whole event... almost zero lag. There was way more servers to choose from, way more players, and way more action. So, why has this been something that I have witnessed, as well as many others? Is there any explanation? This happened last year as well and something does not add up. All the campaigns were completely locked and still almost no lag. Out of the whole 2 week event I maybe had 2-3 hours of lag out of the 80 hours I probably played. I am genuinely curious how this is possible.

Experience varies. ZOS has always opened additional campaigns to compensate the increased player numbers, however the times i was in had some horrid input lag.

More campaigns also the main campaigns get an very long login queue so guilds who need to log in together tend to spread out to the overflow campaigns.
Guess this result in fewer large and long battles so less server load.

Tbh who will join the ghost server?

I think it was mentioned that they get better servers during MYM but I’m not 100% sure if this is the truth.

Not all campaigns were better, Blackreach was 1000x worst during MYM, although everyone on Greyhost said it was fine there (probably because all the coordinated groups moved to BR)
