On the occasion of the maintenance deployment on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, all of the Western servers of Lost Ark are scheduled to remain offline for a long part of the day. To help you see more clearly and anticipate your next connection to the Smilegate RPG MMORPG, we suggest you discover how to check the status of the servers without going to the game.
Are the Lost Ark servers down?
It is very common for Lost Ark game servers to go offline, preventing all players from accessing them and connecting to their characters. Since the launch of the game is rather long and, let’s face it, quite painful, we strongly recommend that you check beforehand whether the servers on which your characters are located are accessible.
To do this, go to the official Lost Ark Customer Support page. You will discover all the servers available in the West (Europe and America) as well as the status of each of them. On this page, one of four possible symbols is placed in front of each name of each server. Here is the meaning of each of them:
May 4th Maintenance: When will the servers be available?
Exceptionally, the weekly maintenance takes place on a Wednesday instead of a Thursday. In reality, this does not change much: Amazon Games is carrying out weekly maintenance this Wednesday, May 4, 2022 in order to correct multiple problems in the game but also to deploy certain changes and even new features. To allow such features to be hosted on all Lost Ark servers, the publisher must make them inaccessible so that the presence of players does not interfere with the deployment of the patch.
In the case of maintenance on May 4, 2022, Amazon Games scheduled it to start at 9:00 a.m. and end about seven hours later, around 4:00 p.m. (Paris time). It happens quite regularly that the maintenances end before the time indicated in the press release (for various reasons, often because they did not encounter any major problem). Update regularly the page dedicated to the status of the Lost Ark servers or follow the official Lost Ark Twitter account to be informed as soon as possible of the reopening of these.
To wait, take the time to take a look at the latest news introduced by this weekly update!
