This was revealed by Game Director Jonathan Rogers in a recent interview, further revealed that they might not reach the capacity as Path of Exile 2 early access is only available to people who purchase the supporter packs that start at $30 or have spent over $480 in the previous game. However, players can also get key from friends who purchase more expensive support packs.

In case the servers reach the capacity, the team is ready to further increase the capacity. The game is planned to be a free to play on complete launch, which is expected to release after six months of early access testing. The developers are aiming for smooth launch as most of the new MMO games usually face extremely long queue time.

A massive focus on Endgame content

The early access for Path of Exile 2 has improved a lot upon the complaints from the original game. The recent content reveal showcased much better quality of life improvements including WASD movement, which is rare for MMO games, and extensive focus on easy to learn but hard to master build-crafting.

Another thing the developers focused heavily upon is the endgame content, which is a common complaint by players regarding every MMORPG launch. Usually after completing the campaign, players look forward to more challenging tasks in the endgame.

Path of Exile 2 brings back league mechanics from previous games, with several improvements and changes to keep players engaged. Along with that, the developers will continue bringing in more leagues, both old and new, during the early access.

“Even in Early Access, Path of Exile 2 is a big game. It includes a significant campaign of Three Acts, as well as a rich endgame. At the start of Early Access, there will be 50 bosses, and around 400 monster types. We’ll be adding content to roughly double the size of the game during Early Access and into Release,” the FAQ stated.
