While this subject is a bit different from what I'm in charge of, I'll be posting on behalf of the development team for a while.

With that said, I would like to comment a bit about the congestion occurring in instanced areas that are being used for skirmish.

The development team is aware that after the version update there has been congestion in both Yorcia Weald [U] and Cirdas Caverns [U].

To give you a quick explanation of the management of these instanced areas, we've set up a group of servers specifically for instanced areas, and their resources are fully devoted to running all of the instanced areas in Vana'diel. Currently these resources are largely allocated to skirmish, delve, and other Adoulin mission and quests.

While we've established an instanced area cap and allocated resources for each type of content, there are currently a significant amount of players participating in each of kind of content, and it's difficult for us to dedicate a large amount of resources specifically to skirmish only.

However, we are constantly checking the status of areas every day, so we will look into re-allocating resources based on conditions.
