Constantly 'reserving server'

I've waited for so long... Sleepy... But I can't pull back now...
Arrgh

Looks like instance servers is down for my server. Since all instances is down they might as well start maintenance now since can't do hardly anything now.

8PM EST Primal is toast atm with the same problems as the other datacenters had.

Playing on Zalera and I've been waiting for 74 minutes with a premade part and still can't get into anything.

oof wanted to run some dailies before I head out for dinner. 39 min queue for what usually pops instantly as a healer orz

Queued as healer+tank with my bf. Duty never popped lol.

Joy. Aether, Chaos, and now Primal DC have now killed their instance servers.

They just responded to the Instance issue for NA and EU on Lodestone.

High server loads, I love it; how dare ppl want to actually play the game they paid for.

The issue is that it's more than likely artificially high server load, do a player search in any city state without inputting any name into the search, you will see a ton of bots all registered for instances, that's the most likely cause. I can tell they are all bots too, as the names are all jumbled, with a word thrown into the mess, and the FC the ones in Ul'dah belong to also has a name that's pure gibberish, so this is more than likely some co-ordinated effort, but as for by who or why, no idea.
