Regarding Congestion During Dawntrail's Launch

No indication as to how long this will last. I have friends who raid with others on other DC's so I would hope that doesn't last longer that the introduction of Savage.

Edit: Ty for the clarification editing to reflect: ...the following restrictions will be in place starting in Patch 7.0 until Patch 7.01 (or Patch 7.05 at the latest, depending on the situation)

Your friends team could all meet up on Dynamis and raid. I am assuming you meant raid not rain.

Reading is FUNdamental.

Endwalker was a freak accident. EW hype from the players, covid and the mass exodus of WoW... (most of which have gone back.)

Good thing Savage gets unlocked with patch 7.05, which also happens to be the latest possible date for these restrictions to be lifted (as stated in the same article).

I wouldn't be all that concerned about server congestion. It'll be nothing like Endwalker's launch.

Dynamis chads rise up

So I am correct, I cant visit my friend on a congested DC. We both have to move to one of the preferred DC's, while losing access to our retainers, fc buffs and so on?
What a bummer, really. This is not an ideal solution.

They were clear it would stop upon savage release at the latest.

I can confirm that the congestion significantly reduces by that time, so even if they had not confirmed this as the date the restrictions would be lifted, I would still expect them to be around that time.

I'm going to be a couple hours late to logging in on Friday, I hope those of us who can't login right at 2 AM PDT aren't going to be locked out.

In the article, they stated what the peak hours are. I can confirm these as the peak hours from my experience playing this game for years. This means if you login outside of these hours, there will not normally be a queue.

But these are the peak hours for a reason, because they are when people come home from work or whatever they do. It was pointed out that Early Access starts on a weekend, so you may have to contend with people logging in even earlier, at the morning hours, which will align exactly with when you are saying you plan to login, so all you can do is try to beat the morning rush which will probably be around 6AM PDT.

Worst case, you could just DC travel to Dynamis.
