The Patch 0.11 announcement separates Community and Official server browsing and describes persistent server IDs. Its maintenance window was September 14; it is not a live outage notice.
Why server discovery matters
Our reading: the useful change is making it easier to coordinate where you play. Before a group session, agree on the server category and identifying details instead of relying on a similar-looking name. This can reduce confusion between official and community listings.
| In the announcement | How to use the information |
|---|---|
| Community and Official browser split | Agree which category your group is using. |
| Persistent server IDs | Use the ID to distinguish similarly named servers. |
| Show Empty/Full shortcuts | Check whether your filters are hiding a server. |
Do not mistake the archive for a live status page
The notice scheduled roughly one hour of maintenance on September 14 at 08:00 UTC. That date has passed. We do not infer today’s server availability from that notice.
The announcement also offered a temporary community-server end-of-match bonus for a week. Do not include that old incentive in a current earnings calculation unless a newer official notice extends it.
Planned is different from available
The same announcement placed server favouriting and some queue improvements in a future-work list. Read the present in-game interface and subsequent release notes before treating those items as delivered.
If a server cannot be found, record the selected category, filter settings and time of the attempt. That is more useful for a support report than simply saying the browser is empty.
