24 Hours, MSQ and Job Instances still completely locked - Zero fixes

The last we've heard from Squuenix is "this is what we intentionally did to alleviate server stress".

How is that working out for everyone?

Edit: I would also like to point that all the leves are in Kugane, so if you thought you could level crafts or gathering on the side, think again. Back to the single item grind.

I want to shoot myself, you?

Loudly sighing and hitting rocks mostly.

I'm looking forward to the actual release.

I'm told there is another slow down shortly after this one so honestly I'm at a loss for words

I'm just seething in my own rage at this point. 5:30am and still too many people to get through.....

Yeah, I got past Cold Steel, 5 quests later blocked again by a second single player instance with Pipin. There's seemingly no end.

We were chatting in discord before, no one has been following the story at all because of this. No one remembers what they're doing other than repeatedly spamming NPCs.

Launch was pretty smooth actually, compared to most other big mmo + expansion launches the last 10 years.
