UPDATE: February 15th, 2022 – 10:40am GMT — Smilegate has announced via the Lost Ark Twitter profile that the EU servers are now back online, and the scheduled downtime is complete, earlier than expected!

Smilegate has announced a new hotfix on February 15th, 2022, taking the European Lost Ark servers offline for maintenance to hopefully fix some serious issues.

Lost Ark, another MMORPG from Amazon Games – developed by Smilegate – is currently the biggest game on the planet, with the most concurrent players on Steam. But that doesn’t come without its problems, and players across the globe have been having problems even getting into servers, with the European server seeing the widest issues. Hopefully, a hotfix rolling out today will help solve these problems, but that does mean the European servers are down right now.

All Smilegate has revealed is that the hotfix is in place to add “stability improvements” for the European server. Hopefully, this means we can expect more players to be able to get online and shorter queue times.

There is also a minor bug fix being amended in this scheduled Lost Ark hotfix, in which the Northern Lawmaker skin would not display properly on a Warrior sub-class.

How long is Lost Ark maintenance?

While we know the European Lost Ark server has been offline for scheduled maintenance since about 8am GMT/9am CET, we can’t yet be sure exactly how long it will take before the servers get put back online. However, Smilegate has estimated the Lost Ark server downtime at around three hours, so hopefully European players can get back into Arkesia around 11am GMT/12pm CET, February 15th, 2022.

We will be keeping an eye on both the game and the Lost Ark Twitter account for an update, and will modify this page as soon as we know more, so why not pop a bookmark on it!
