Any official word from GGG on server scaling/stability?

A massive amount of hype for returning POE2 players + free weekend all launching on a Friday seems like a recipe for server stability disaster. Any official word for avoiding/planning for this?

I think they mentioned it. That they have worked on it and will see how it goes.

That's why they have the free weekend. To stress-test the servers.

Yeah, lame IMHO. Having F2P players compete for the same resources as paid players in a bad move.

That's a very P2W mentality. PoE 2 will be a free game, just like PoE 1. Early Access is nothing more than beta testing the game for GGG. They are not competing for anything. I honestly expect GGG to offer more free weekends, especially the closer they get to launch.

I apologize if it came off that way. I just am excited to play as a massive early pack supporter and not be kicked out/in queue with a bots and F2P peeps trying to login.
