Stars Reach CEO acknowledges server issues: 'Not yet where we want it to be'

Remember when we all said Stars Reach might not be ready for early access this summer? Well, it seems we were onto something. The $30 sandbox MMORPG recently launched into early access, but it's already running into some snags, particularly when it comes to server stability.

The game's boss candidly stated, "We're not yet where we want to be in terms of server stability." It's a frank admission that after years of development, the game hasn't yet hit its technical targets.

If you've been following the game's journey, this might not be too surprising. For months, both players and experts have questioned whether Stars Reach was truly ready for its prime time, and the early access launch seems to have proven those concerns right. The game promises a massive player-driven sandbox where you can mine, build, and explore. Ore is a procedurally generated galaxy, but all that ambition comes at a cost, and right now that cost is server stability.

For those who already paid $30 to jump into early access, this news is somewhat disheartening. However, it's also a reminder that early access is exactly that: early access. Games in this state often have rough edges, and Stars Reach is no exception. The developer's transparency about the issues is at least a good sign. They're working on fixing the problems.

So what does this mean for you? If you're on the fence about Stars Reach, it might be best to hold off until the server issues are resolved. But if you're already in, it's worth keeping an eye on. There's a lot of potential in the core gameplay loop, and once the servers stabilize, a truly unique MMO experience might be waiting for you.
