Is SE prepared for the Endwalker tsunami?

I'm a little worried, they seem to think that THIS is the endwalker wave, just a bit early, and they don't seem prepared for the people who are actually going to come back and make this look small.

They never said impossible, they said it was difficult but they'd continue to explore all options.

"Though the obstacles that still face us are many, we believe that the best, most effective method for providing our players a stress-free gameplay experience is through the introduction of new servers and data centers. To see this goal realized as soon as reasonably possible, we on the development, operations, and infrastructure teams pledge to continue to do our utmost."

They're indeed aware of the incoming wave and they're doing what they can. Even if we have some bumps or server queues, this is going to be a massive boost for the game overall, which is a big positive for us in terms of FF14 continuing long term for many years to come. I'm more than happy being patient and putting faith in them on this.
