Which of the million players actually were playing the game?

The Bifrost has three Slots available to all players. However, there are 2 Crystalline-Aura Bifrost Slots at the bottom of your Bifrost menu available to you if you subscribe. However, these are not necessary and are merely quickly-travel points to utilize to travel faster in Lost Ark. 

If you're content with the three standard ones available to everyone, it's not necessary to subscribe to Crystalline Aura for the final two slots.Lost Ark, the massively multiplayer game taking Steam to the top of the charts it will be receiving a new server region , in an effort to reduce the long queues to European players.

The game had an explosive debut weekend that has seen it become the second most played game all time on Steam according to peak concurrent players. With 1.33 million gamers, it narrowly beat the peak numbers of Steam game classics Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2, but fell far short of record of 3.3 million registered in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in early 2018.

The question is: Which of the million players actually were playing the game? While Lost Ark seems to have been able to launch smoothly in its native Americas, European servers have been hit by lengthy login queues. At any one time over the weekend there were hundreds of thousands European players waited for a chance to play the game.

I can attest to this from personal experience that I attempted to sign in to the game in London on Saturday afternoon, I discovered that most servers had queues between 8,000 and 13,000 players, and it took me nearly an hour to get online. It was a blessing that I had The Triangle Strategy demo to hand.
