Lost Track Of How Many Errors/Maintenance's NA/EU Is On

I went to bed hoping these problems would be fixed again, and yet I wake up with my shell texting me that nobody can get on...

10102 for me now,


I just don't understand how JP hasn't had any problems, but NA/EU hasn't made it one day since Phase 4 without severe problems

yep and were stuck with for the night cause think SE turned off the lights and went home.

Well 90% of the testing was done on JP servers, my guess would be that they did not test the US/EU hardware out enough before releasing, they definitely never had Alpha style stress testing like the JP Alpha servers had..

As much as I understand the frustration, please let's not make a new thread for each opinion on this matter...

I bought a game I would have had for free, just to get early access, and it's been nothing but flaws.

I don't care if the first 5 pages in the GD is nothing but people complaining about the errors, this is ridiculous.

Maybe because NA/EU is bigger than simply Japan? Common sense...

Common sense would also imply that we would get more servers to compensate.

I did not want to complain but its slowly taking the piss..

Yes adding more would help but you also will need people on the current server to move to the other server to help balance it out but not many ppl will want to start all over and that a large reason why we still have congestion. Know if they had a transfer character option to be able to move your non legacy because legacy people are pretty much stuck on legacy servers this would also help if their even has this option atm don't know.

They need to let anyone move out of overcrowded servers for free to try and balance them out. If there are still too many, we need more servers.

We need more anyway, NA / EU have more numbers (duh right?)

I'm personally starting to wonder if I should play on a JP server... >.<

I didn't preorder the game to have stuff like maintenance every 5 hours for 3 hours get in the way of early access... I mean come on SE... this shoulda been fixed in Phase 4... which shoulda been longer then a weekend... You can't stress test a server over just a weekend... Yeah flame me or whatever about my post people but you know its true... the NA servers should have gotten more testing. This in my opinion is looking bad for the long run of the game... so much time was spent on the game and not the servers... Yeah the game worked fine in phase 4 but the servers completely crapped out for a ton of people. SOOOO SE i'd just suggest instead of doing weekend tests you should have done week long tests... I love the game but geez the servers should not be going down THIS much... I'd understand some down time but this is unbelievable... Your ripping off paying customers SE... :(

No, no. Don't blame SE or hold them responsible for their own game. It's not like this is their second chance to release this game or anything. Just remember: if the servers go down it is as God and SE intended~!

Edit: Sorry, just had to vent a little. These forums are just very reminiscent of the forums for a game I played back in 2010.

i am a bit annoyed as well, but everyone and their mother spamming the log in button as soon as servers go up isnt going to help either. it's like NA/EU servers are a baby seal on a rock, trying to go get some fish for lunch, but as soon as it even puts a fin in the water there are 5000 great whites and a megalodon on its ass cheeks.

and why the fuck didnt they just do NA servers AND EU servers. last time i checked North America is chillin by itself thousands of miles apart from both Japan and Europe. if you ask me maybe thats why NA/EU servers go down all the time. make independant servers for the Europeans, why does america still have to share? its like we kicked the Queens ass for no reason.

Another one of these threads? Seriously?

It. Is. An. MMO. Launch. What about this is so difficult for you people to understand? They *never* go smoothly. Maybe they never go smoothly because companies are universally incompetent, maybe they never go smoothly because there's a little spirit out to get you that intentionally messes up the servers of every MMO you'd care to try. Who cares. The point is, it's routine, and yet you people continue to act as if this is something new, and horrible, and oh my god the sky is falling!

Seriously, at the very least, go and keep your thoughts cornered in one thread. At least then it's easier to avoid seeing this jibberish while I monitor for maintenance updates.

As an aside - if you paid $30 purely to access the game three days early, you seriously need to reconsider your priorities in life.

yes please

Final fantasy: A error reborn

Early Access =/= Launch, for gods sake.

Early Access is made so Square Enix can fine-tune the game, making the actual launch smoother. Please stop whining asdbahbdsahdbshadsdjassdxnsadsda

I have just posted an opinion on the tech support forum about disproportional server count for JP (25) and the rest of us (also 25!)
I have to say that running 50 instanced servers is not an easy task but ... hey, what were they thinking before creating this infrastructure?

To those who choose to bury their head into the sand and wait: breath deep!
Whoever wants to play: let's go and play on JP servers.
Let us create enough accounts for FFXIV team to feel our pain!
See you there, folks!
