Looks like everyone and their mother playing at this time

They should probably implement an auto-disconnect system for idlers that other MMOs have been known to use. Not like we have player bazaars anymore so there's no point to leaving a character logged in all day.

What I want to know is, shouldn't the server transfer application deadline earlier this month have prevented this issue? Unless they purposely made the server caps lower than the population of people who transferred to them via application.

They wouldn't do that on purpose, would they?...

Also, please give us a consistent server queue system. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes you get into the queue but get the error message eventually anyway. It's a real drag having to keep clicking to attempt to get in without even knowing the server status or current population because even THAT information isn't displayed anywhere that I know of.

This really could have been handled better, lol.

How could they underestimate the number of players when they knew how many people pre-ordered the game? They had weeks to prepare the infrastructure. What was the purpose of Phase 4 again?

Who said it was a solution? Obviously something needs to happen for the long term, but at least I know I can stop trying to mash through 1017 for a while and try again tomorrow morning when the servers are clear.

So did they take the servers down? I just got kicked (after being on since 8am EST).

I know its too late (right now) to increase server capacity, but I hope SE scheduled one on the next who-know-when server down

you better be, SE

well the problem is that they did not take into account that majority of the ffxi and all of the ffxiv player's would all play ffxiv so yes not many play the old 11 now they moved on to 14 instead so we now have way to many ppl playing this new one and the servers cant handle all so as i see it ff11 will be dead in a year or less

i juss made it in after a couple of mins spamming
