Gold Saucer is congested? Seriously?

I'm super disappointed that I can't even get into Gold Saucer right now. It keeps saying the area you are trying is currently congested. Please try again later. I'd rather just log off.....

Not their fault that 5k+ people are all trying to access the area at once lol.

It can only hold so much. Would you rather them limit it and people be able to actually do things? Or not limited and watch it crash every 5 minutes from to much happening. Then even more people would be complaining lol

This was guaranteed to happen at some point. It's brand new content on release day, I logged in for a bit earlier today just to get the quest done and made sure to log out outside of the gold saucer area in case it got this congested before i got back home from work. If I can't get back in this evening, no problem I'll just run other content and wait till the excitement wears down a bit. Shouldn't take long.

Well they could make more than 1 server for the bigger worlds like Balmung.

And yes! I do expect to be able to play content that I pay for monthly exactly when it is released.

Awesome, this means that hunts will be much less zerg-fest like and it might be possible for DPS to be listed as the class in-need in Duty Finder!

I've not logged in since patch yet, is the whole thing a single zone..? It seems like it should be two zones at least.

It's a single zone. Chocobo Races are instanced.

This ^ x 100
It really was hard to finish and get my Yoichi bow when all were hunting and df times were always 30+ minutes, even Expert Roulette was over 30.

It's two zones; the chocobo racing is in a separate map and currently everyone in there is trapped there on Phoenix because they can't get back into the main complex due to congestion...

As much as I understand server issues I have to agree that when something is paid for it should be available. It's like saying congrats you bought a car but you can't drive it.
