I didn’t make any snarky remarks. They said it would be re-enabled after everything is stable, so it’s not that far-fetched to assume it will be activated after the hotfix, yes?

So to quote you, At least get your stuff right if you're gonna make snarky remarks. Don't throw rocks in a glass house, friend.

After the release of Patch 6.18 scheduled on Tuesday, July 5, 2022, the Home World Transfer Service will resume after verifying that the Japanese/European data center expansions and the Data Center Travel system are stable.

And from their latest update (#3):

Based on the server load issues after opening the Data Center Travel system for all worlds, we have taken measures to counteract the server load such as changing the system settings. We have been monitoring the situation since taking these measures and have confirmed that transfers are stable and completed within minutes even during peak login hours.

I wasn't talking to them

How long for them to figure out it is stable enough? It seems like this year they have made a few blunders for no reason. You would highly think that 1.) this would happen and should of prepared in advanced or 2.) not do DC visit since their hardware isn't up to date and has trouble with other things and this hurts even more. It is a nice idea for DC visit but honestly and realistically it can not really do this unless they get powerful servers and for anything future they really really need to get a new engine and base coding. Something from 2010 is not going to cut it for 2022. They want this game to survive for another 10 years then they need to do a major overhaul

thing is, the system crashing when dc travel was released wasn't really a blunder, the literally only way to stop that from happening would have been to get a crapton of hardware to handle a server load that they will never reach again. this stuff costs money, and if on a normal day you will have 500 dc travel requests per minute than theres simply no reasons to get hardware that can handle 15000 requests per minute (which is what they said they actually got). yes, its good to be prepared, it also looks better to the playerbase, but theres a limit on how much even the greatest company in the world would spend for stuff that is just not needed for longer than a day.

then it sounds like they never should of even attempted knowing their hardware is not that great. Better to put it on hold till you get better hardware then have it now as is and thinking they could handle it

I don’t think anyone foresaw 15000 request per minute tbh.

Honestly, I just feel bad for all the people who were excited to move over to the new servers with their friends/FC's and what-not, only to discover that they can't because of stupid decision making.

I genuinely have no idea why DC travel wasn't pushed back, even by just a little while, to allow people to move over to the new servers and get settled in. Now here we are, DC travel still breaking, and new servers still unpopulated because nobody can transfer.

This whole ordeal should've been anticipated really, slightly disappointed in Squenix with this patch tbh.

So.. because the server cannot handle the brief overload, they should invest in potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment that will be used for a week or two and then left to rot in disuse OR just not have the feature until all possible contingencies are covered at all times?

Not to mention the semiconductor shortage that's been around for years now lol, even if squenix did decide that they want to beef up their hardware, the chances of them finding enough supply that meets their requirements would be slim to none.

They could have easily avoided this problem by not releasing new worlds at the same time they add the data center travel system, but I guess foresight is not popular at SE. Do one thing first and the other one later.
