Deployed anti-cheat counter-measures and have started issuing necessary bans.
Matchmaking
Changed matchmaking to select the server with the best Quality of Service / Minimum Ping when the server selection is Auto. This means that there will no longer be cross-region matchmaking unless a specific region is selected in the server selection. Please keep in mind that as we continue to tune this process, region lock may increase queue times and amount of bots in games, especially in non-peak hours. We will be removing server selection in the near future to ensure that players are not abusing lag.
Thanks for your continued patience, love, and support.

24% LOAD STUCK We are experiencing a problem that loading stops at 24% on the title screen when Warlander is launched for the second time or later.
Please wait for around 5 minutes for the game to load.
The development team is aware of this issue and is working to resolve it. We will follow up as soon as the problem is resolved.
GOLDINGS DELAY There is occasionally a problem with Goldings (premium currency) taking a long time to be reflected in the game when first purchased. The purchase itself is working fine and will be accessible after restarting the game.
We apologize for any inconvenience these issues may have caused and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve them.

Welcome to Warlander!
On behalf of Toylogic and PLAION, we welcome all sword slashers, siege smashers, and castle crashers to join us from day one to set the tone for our fledgling player base to grow and prosper over the weeks, months, and years to come.
Before we get ahead of ourselves and look too far into the future, we must take a look at the upcoming release and clarify what to expect as an early player of Warlander. Please keep in mind the following four factors as matchmaking kicks in officially for the first time and we start the process of welcoming new players into the Warland. With the global release, Warlander will be home to players from all over the world, and we understand the necessity to match regionally for the best possible ping, but also that queue time, skill/experience-based matching, and playing with a full match of players are all important aspects of your expectations as a player.
As the first servers are created, please be patient with the process, as you may initially have similar matchmaking results to the Closed Beta, meaning that there may be times when you are matched with players from other regions, have a higher queue time, are matched with players of a higher or lower skill and experience level, and/or have matches with bots, especially at non-peak hours. This is expected and we ask that you make the best of it as we fine-tune the matchmaking to offer the best results moving forward.
As the player base grows the fine-tuning process will begin where we will tweak the settings to best support having full, regional, skill-based matches, and ideally with a reasonable queue time. From there we will look at popular regions and based on player numbers, continue to roll out further regional support.
Squad up with us!
Community is not a buzzword for us, it is our passion and the driving force to make Warlander the best possible game it can be, so if you haven’t already joined us in Discord or followed our other channels, now is the time.
And finally, while Warlander can be fun solo queuing, it can also be played in parties of four players and there is really nothing more satisfying than playing with a full party where the heals, shields and damage are all working in a finely tuned and coordinated rhythm. So rally your friends, build alliances and we’ll see you in the Warland, as we Sing Together and charge to war!
Sincere thanks for your continued love and support. It means the world to us.
Please check your Discord DM. If you did not receive a key at this time, we encourage you to try again around the 9th of January as we will roll out more keys in line with the Season switch test. If you have already submitted a request with Green Dragon Warlord then you will be at the top of the queue for January.
Your interest and excitement for the CBT has been amazing and we thank you for your support.
