Well anecdotes are not data, but it looked like a mixed bag. The servers I frequent were definitely busier because everyone who could manage to get off Island servers did. I've restarted with a new character so I don't have a transmitter yet and server crashes were knocking us out of the sky. My plan today is to load up my inventory early and wait for the beacon next to my rollrat pen.

I just can't see how this will create any new paid customers. The people from Epic are getting a terrible experience and the people who paid and pay again (gladly) resent having their servers destroyed. For the most part my interactions with the Epic people have been miserable. They're complaining, demanding help and free stuff and telling us to f ourselves because they're ruining gameplay. Actual conversation US: "Hey we're not handing out free stuff or helping anyone right now, we're losing years of hard work." THEM: "Get a life losers. We got a free game!"

I can't understand why this Epic roll-out had to coincide with an event. I do understand the need to have new blood and revenue, but the people who have supported the game for 5 years shouldn't have been shut out of their own servers by an influx of people who got the game for free. Yesterday was a disaster, people lost eggs and babies because of the crashes and jammed servers. Epic users certainly had a bad experience and Steam users felt shafted. Our Island server is particularly welcoming to new players, we have a village for new players to get on their feet and a public hatchery and crafting area. The village is gone, no idea what happened to it as the owner mains on another server. We had to lock down the hatchery and crafting area because the supplies and gasoline were stolen. Everyone has piles of bodies in and around their bases, not to mention the trash tames inside of them. The longtime residents of the server had set out their eggs and babies early in the day to take advantage of the 3x buff. Huge, expensive undertakings like Tusos and latest and greatest stat dinos. By 9:00 AM EST the server was capped, the ping was pushing 350 and the chat was 65 people complaining about lag, "I can't place a campfire." and the abuse began to flow back and forth. Honestly, if we can't see you on Steam, we don't care. This was an invasion. By the time the servers began collapsing we were all just trying to get our valuable stuff in cryo and the rubberbanding was so bad it took forever. I almost lost 3 anky babies that cost me 250k in dust. I lost some other stuff, but managed to save the high value dinos, but now we are worried the whole event will be like this. Most of us are planning on moving everything valuable to unaffected servers, but we're also wondering how to get it to obs since the server crashes are killing people on flyers. Birds are grounded and if you don't have the transmitter engram you are SOL. TLDR: Epic launch killed the game, paying customers are pissed

You do realize that console gets new content after it's released on PC?
