Darn the hallucination is spreading. lol.

24 hours later, all side quests finished, all present aether currents collected, Samurai started, some fates with plenty of dates with Raubahn in intervals at various times throughout the day (huff-huff, long-winded sentence), SE's addressing the issue with a fix of sorts, aaand I still can't instance in.

Heart... broken. ;-; Raubahn, I thought we had something special. </3

I have been trying for more than 24 hours to get past this instance. You would think the congestion would have died down in the morning but it's just as packed near the npc. I can handle 90ks and extended downtime but this is getting out of hand. I prepared a bunch of my gatherers to make some good gil early on in SB but looks like I will be late. That's what I get for preparing. I know a few people who are in Kugane working on gathering.

Only a few hundred people per world have been able to get past it as far as I can tell... If that many...
That tells you quite a bit at how low they've set the cap on that instance.
People have waited more than 24 hours to get into the instance, and SE apparently still can't figure out what to do.

Free up resources for the instance by temporarily disabling other stuff... disable DF (for queuing, not entering with premade)... disable POTD... plenty of things that can be disabled to unclog Raubahn.

That was my thinking as well. PST should be sleeping (I thought about trying around 5AM EST, but that's only 2AM in PST...), but still no luck. There are a lot less people in the SB area on my server, but it's still not working for those still/now there. xD

I don't think they can disable DF all together because newbies still need to queue in and do their own MSQ's. Not sure about the other stuff.

I did what was recommended....left for awhile....got some sleep and came back to FIND.....IT'S NOT FIXED.

I don't know why I even bothered to try again today. What a disappointment.

As an emergency option, they should just disable the fight and let us bypass it. There is no reason to sacrifice access to other content to fix this clogged mess.

I heard there were three or four other instances like this right after Raubahn, so probably wouldn't help much unless they disabled all of them.
