Absurd queue on Siren

About 30 minutes ago I got randomly disconnected from Siren. I had been sitting AFK in the Central Shroud for about 20 minutes.

When attempting to log in again I saw this:

I've only ever seen the queue go as high as 40 before, so this seems extremely abnormal. I believe something went wrong on the backend which caused most/all of Siren's population to be simultaneously disconnected.

This seems worth investigating to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Good morning and thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy Technical Support Forums.

We do apologize but, we experienced some network errors last night. As such, there could have been an increased number of players attempting to access the server at the same. For more information please check out this link:
