So the df is broken now?

Is that what's happening? I just can't keep track of what isnt working properly anymore. Everytime the df pops it 90k's me out. Is it just me or is that the thing we're dealing with now?

Here's what's going on in a nut shell:

We're fucked. The servers are fucked. Duty Finder is fucked. And nobody's going to save us. They took our pre-order money and ran.

EDIT: Pardon my french.

An emergency maintenance is now desperately needed on the Aether Data center.

I got let in when I was at 4700 in queue, then got a 10105, and now my queue is stuck at 44 and hasn't moved for like 10 refreshes.

Did the queue finally break too?

There seems to be something weird with DF on my server too. When my friend and I tried queuing up it cancelled. I hear other people complain about it too.

It's not just Aether because primal having the same issues and not just for the last 5 minutes.

Fixed it for you. I always figured the push for preorders was so they could plan accordingly.

On a side note this is what I expect of a launch people going through content and actually crashing parts of the game. Not 2000 people on one server clicking one guy in three different instances.

Hey, if I get corrective action for saying fucked on the general forums, then, well, I guess they're doing something right with the godsdamn money I paid them, huh?

Anyway, yeah. Day one, I was a little miffed about this crap, but I was okay with it. Day two, I began to scratch my head. Here we are on day three, and it's gone back to day one. At this point I'm beginning to regret pre-ordering SB.

Everyone got disconnected

The problem is that there are a few different kinds of servers.

AETHER - DataCenter (Cluster if you will)
World-Specific Server (IE: Balmung, Couerl, etc.) - The server you log in to to play in the non-instanced areas. Depending on which server, you may be finding it slammed pack full of people.
Duty Finder - These are specific to dungeons and other instanced content. PvP, Dungeons, MSQ fights, ETC.

While your server may not necessarily be full, the instance servers are slammed on top of everything else and they're shared between the other servers.

I wish it'd boot you back to wherever you were instead of DCing you. It'd suck a lot less. I can deal though. Watching netflix every time I have to log on again.

Me and two friends que'ed into Susano and got kicked before it even loaded. We have been unable to log back in to those characters at all. Our characters show still logged in on our FC list; I am able to log in to an alt but that's it. They said they fixed this, but its clearly not.

Same problem with the 50/60 roulette. DC on entry and now can't get logged in, keep getting 90k. How are our characters being kept "logged in" when we disconnect on entry? Basically, it seems the only thing we can do is go take a nap or something until the timer for the duty expires >.>

Ya instance areas such as dungeons, story instances, and etc instances are placed in their own Server separate from the Data Center worlds our character is in outside of Instances.

Sadly the downside to this design is that each Data Center basically share the same Instance Servers to allow cross-server parties in DF which can bring this type of issue up if a Data Center is heavily populated.

All this happened because the Instance Server in the Data Center is not capable of handling this many players at once as 4.0 is probably the largest number of players playing online than back in 2.0 and 3.0 release.

the 2.X and 3.X had less players because they were just updates and a good amount of players who joined during 2.0 and 3.0 have set priorities or quit so not many players were on during X.X contents to strain Instance Servers as badly as a Expansion release especially when this one released Sword DPS Jobs which would have attracted far more players than any other Job that was in 2.0 and 3.0.

The new updates with the expansion may cotntribute but what peaked people's interests the most was from introducing Sword DPS Jobs.
