Nothing in that news post indicates anything at all will be done to address the issue about worlds that are currently already full. The addition of new worlds is unlikely to solve that unless free transfers are offered. I can't see too many people jumping up with joy with the chance to re-roll on a different server.

Anyway this launch has been completely crap and the fact it has taken them this long to do anything to fix it is beyond absurd, I can't comprehend how they can let this re-launch flounder so badly for so long when they really, really needed the game to have a positive launch to make up for version 1.0. They should have had more servers available at launch based off pre-order sales and Beta results.

And to add to this information:

I wanted to pass along some statistics.

Started at 3:45pm, current time 4:45am
13 hours of attempted logged ins.
8,801 attempted log ins
7 times places in que
7 times in que given 1017 error after being in que


I don't blame people for staying logged on because it is a decision they have made and honestly I can't say I wouldn't have done the same. My issue is with Square Enix for allowing it to happen and forcing people to do this to stay in game. You have taken a potentially wonderful experience for many people and destroyed it. What is sad IMO is the reaction given by customer support. They don't seem to care or show any sympathy. I know their job isn't fun now, but your reaction goes along way and is what we see.

To be fair, perhaps shutdown the game and put in a system that eliminates the AFK players. Some people have been logged in for almost a week. They go to work for 10 hours, sleep for 8 hours and play for 6 hours. 18 of 24 hours are AFK. How can you allow this to happen????????

This isn't the case anymore. The only servers that seem to even give you a chance are Coeurl, Cactuar, Goblin, and Marlboro. I really, really don't want to make another character and transfer it later. If I can't get in during the A.M. on my server, I might as well give up for the day.

Ditto.. Wednesday better fix 1017.. or.. I really have no clue, my hopes aren't up as it wasn't mentioned quite specifically. Seriously though, they should just take the bloody game down, or do rolling restarts to kick them since they cannot introduce the afk kicker (if they make one) quite yet.
