Nevertheless, they halted sales of the digital copy. They know exactly the number of people that the game has to support, and should have upgraded not only the capacity for concurrent connections on...

I'm downloading the patch right now, so I have yet to try. But sadly, 1017 was not an error. This was the solution that SE implemented as a result of the limited server capacity. They said they...

Agreed. Support and service were not provided to EU/NA at the same level as those available in JP. SE is addressing the service portion of this tonight with their patch, but have been silent on the...

Your original post was very nice, and meant to assuage anger, but your responses since have been... troubling. Each post seems slightly more biased, using information that is misrepresented to put...

I agree that this is a problem that could have been prevented since they had the numbers, but I wouldn't blame Yoshida. He is just the sacrificial lamb that the SE executives have offered up to the...

I'm not so sure about that. I mean, given the pre-order volumes, not to mention the data that was gathered from both FFXI and FFXIV, this should have been clear from the start. I'm just surprised...

Great point. The quality of #4 is impacted by where you live. If you live in Japan, then the communication has been great. In any other country though, well, SE has left something to be desired.

I think the OP is referencing the return of the grayed out Start button, as well as the 2002 errors, which SE claimed were fixed yesterday for NA/EU. However, they have returned again today, and no...

I miss skillchains as well. That was a great mechanic, which, as you mentioned, required teamwork and coordination. The grinding component of FFXI is not something that I miss, but skillchains and...

They'd still be full of people afking. :)

Again, please read the linked post prior to commenting.

Nevertheless, it is not pessimism which drives my thought process, but rather observation on the manner in which SE has handled the current...

You're assuming the addition of new servers will resolve this problem. By reading other posts in the forum, you'll be able to see that their proposed solutions are unlikely to be successful.

The following is a preemptive bug report for the next few weeks.

After the new servers are installed on Wednesday, players will be able to create new characters on these servers, but the number of...

Good point. Another example of how JP has priority over EU/NA.

By keeping the servers up and allowing only the smallest portion of the population to access the game, they can claim that some players were able to experience the game. It's all about covering...

I don't really know where to begin with this one. My other post should point out the fallacies in your statement.

The summarize though, it's not a gift. It is part of the initial product and is...

If you purchase a piece of fruit at a supermarket, bring it home and realize it is rotten on the inside, it is not a sense of entitlement that causes you to be dissatisfied.

I agree with the OP. I know this is going to be the target of a lot of rage, but in all honesty, seven free days is literally the least that SE can do. By that, I mean those people claiming that...

Good point.

The problem is that SE decided to group North America and Europe with the same set of servers, despite the differing time zones. So restarting in the middle of the night (PST) will boot people in...

Because expediting the process would cost money, and SE doesn't want to pay that kind of money, just to help players in EU/NA. If this was in Japan, then it would have been fixed last week.

Well put.

As for it eating up your 30 days though, there was an announcement earlier today about the devs "considering" giving players an extra 7 days. This way, when the new servers are added in...

I can understand why the developers don't want to implement this feature since it doesn't actually address the true issue. This issue is that there is that there are not enough servers to handle the...

Just tried and unable to click start as well.

The problem with making light of 54 hours is that, as a programmer, you are compensated accordingly. To make light of his work schedule without knowing any other information other than the number of...
