Lost Ark is currently being review bombed on Steam due to issues with free-to-play players unable to play with those who bought premium copies of the MMO.Though Lost Ark only launched in full last Friday (February 11), anyone who bought a ‘Founder’s Pack’ edition has been able to play the MMO since February 8.However, the unforeseen popularity of this headstart phase meant that many of these early servers were quickly filled up, causing server queues due to over-popularity.To combat this, Lost Ark developer Smilegate implemented a character creation cap on 11 of these servers, meaning that new players cannot make characters on them “for the foreseeable future”.This has caused a rift where many free-to-play fans cannot play with any of their friends who bought premium copies to play the MMO early, as many of the first servers to open have now been closed off to new players.As a result, Lost Ark is the subject of many negative reviews on Steam that have encountered issues with this approach. Some premium players have had to make new characters on other servers to play with their free-to-play friends, while others hope that server transfers will be announced in the future.“Currently cannot recommend,” reads one review, which it says is because of “no server to server transfers and populated servers have 4-6 hour queues in EU servers [which] has only gotten worse.”“Can’t play with my friends because they prevented creating characters on their server.

Manchester United winger Daniel James reportedly wants to remain at Old Trafford this summer, effectively ending Leeds United 's attempts to sign the Wales international on loan.

Premier League always seemed like a step too far for Patrick Bamford. At Crystal Palace and Norwich and Burnley and Middlesbrough, it didn’t work out, and when he dropped down to the Championship three years ago many expected him to stay at that level.

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa paid tribute to goalscorer Patrick Bamford, goalkeeper Illan Meslier, record signing Rodrigo and left-back Stuart Dallas after his side earned a 1-0 win over Sheffield United in the Yorkshire derby.
