I play on Leviathan, and getting a friend on here to play with me is nearly impossible. Leviathan is ALWAYS closed. I've been watching that server for the last 48 hours getting very little sleep and it only opened a few times for about an hour or a little over an hour at a time. This was in the middle of the night, so my friend was asleep when this happened. A lot of people are probably being put off of the game because of this. I think Square Enix needs to get this hardware situation under control. With another massive influx of players, behavior like this is only going to aggravate people into putting the game down. I know a post like this will probably be looked over, but I know that Square Enix can afford to add a few more servers to each cluster, especially for it's "most profitable game". Most profitable can be made even more profitable with proper tech. I just think this is a bit ridiculous.

This topic again? you must not been for the the PS3/PC release of ARR

04-14-2014, 05:57 AMZeroHighWhy? Because he's complaining? I'm from 1.0 and I still think its ridiculous. I bought the game on PS4 for my sister, who's a fan of FF but no so much MMO's. She hasn't been able to create a character on my server and is already feeling like its just not worth the hassle.Quote:

It might be one of those things hey it a MMO come play with your friends but there no guarantee for it though like a world pass or anything. Should play the game cause they want to play it regardless if friends are playing it, cause if they only playing it cause their friends/family usually means when their friends/family quit they will too. Sounds like giving up even before starting.Quote:

Someone like that, is more likely to play longer, given the chance to play with people they know VS already being uneasy and then solo playing.Quote:

04-14-2014, 08:50 AMLexiaI didn't dictate anyone your words not mine, and it was just a response to the OP that tied in with yours, servers can only hold so much data so if the world is closed all the time means it full and will have to create character on different server, no need for anyone to jump on SE back about it.Quote:

Plus even if a server did have some room left and there other servers (not counting the news ones) have a lower population it makes sense to lock the high more crowded server to get the lower populated server more people.Quote:

I'm saying, just like the OP and the point of this thread, with the influx of new players, the least they could have done is increase server capacity, in the case that new players want to make characters on their friends world. Do you understand or do I need to simplify that for you?Quote:

Yes cause instead of spreading out the population to all servers lets just keeping increasing the capacity of few select servers.

04-14-2014, 10:56 AMZeroHighAgain, the points in this thread just goes over your head. hahahaha. I just can't anymore.Quote:

we've already been through this with 2.0 release. SE is not going to spend a bunch of money on more servers to accomodate the sudden population boosts from new consoles or patches/expansions... Why? Because a large amount of those players will quit, or play less within a month or 2. What is SE suppossed to do with those extra servers that they paid for but no longer need then? SE isnt even the only company that does this, they all do.
