I am worried. The maintenance only add extra worlds.

I am so worried. The maintenance http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...95066b31d7fb59

only add more servers. Why they are not increasing the maximum capacity of each server? Right now maximum per server is only 5k concurrent players , they should increase that to 10k-20k instead of adding new servers.

Why they never learnt?

Why you never read? lol

They are addressing concurrent login, adding worlds, and fixing duty finder. Or at least thems the words on da streets.

PS I am guessing English isn't your primary language. Sorry for the cheap laugh.

The servers are made to hold up to 5000. They have had it capped lower to help the network issues. Do the math.

Taken from first post on the main Lodestone screen:

To resolve this issue, we will be performing maintenance from September 3, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. to September 4, 2013, at 3:00 a.m (PDT), for the purpose of increasing the number of available Worlds, reducing stress on the Duty Finder servers, and increasing the number of concurrent logins allowed for each server.

for each duty server ..maybe


right now you cannot buy the game
if you already have the game on disc you cannot create a character on any world or region
they ARE ALL FULL!
but wait theres more, they are not just full, they are overfilled, aka 1017

it would not surprise me if this maintenance did not change anything that we will notice immediately
there will still be massive error battles and much punishing of the keypad zero to come.

I already said 5k concurrent user is really not much. WoW server can hold up to 20k concurrent users. At least up the cap to 10k per server?

Oh! It totally didn't mention about increasing the number of concurrent logins allowed for each server on http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...95066b31d7fb59

How can two posts giving different content, that's bad!

Duty Finder is the reason for the 5000 cap. Before they implemented that cap, duty finder continuously broke from being overloaded. Many of the game's quest use the DF system (All single player instances, not just dungeons). If they improve the DF and allow it to take more connections then they can lift the 5000 cap. The cap is not a bug. It's intentional.

The early announcements left out that last part, but each announcement has been more comprehensive than the previous one, and it is now indeed clear that they are adding capacity to each server, in addition to adding new worlds.

Unfortunately, this rumor is persistent due to the early vague announcements only describing new server capacity. But it is now (almost) widely known that existing servers will also see a boost to capacity.

WoW servers are also running a game engine from over a decade ago on new equipment. Not really a comparison there.

Didn't Yoshi say in his last letter that the servers can hold MORE than 5K?

I understadn the OPs worries. I believe we have not seen the last of 1017 and it will linger for awhile. Which is sad, I do not relish that idea at all. Because some people might actually leave the game instead of just e-posturing with that sentiment.

Either the boost better be significant or they allow free transfers from legacy servers cause they are ridiculously overfilled, a measily extra 500 connections per server probably isn't going to cut it for legacy ones... Not when I've seen ques for 500+ when the que was actually working.

Yeah.... the 1017 nightmare have been lingering on my mind. 2hour of trying to login is not fun at all. Let's pray to god Athena! If anyone heard about how much they increase the cap per server, please let me know!

New players can't create new characters on servers? I made a character for my bro on behemoth last week. Is this because I already have toons made?

I'm sure people will see 1017 for 4 or 5 hours after the servers come back online. I highly doubt they will just throw open the floodgates on the changes made but will increase capacity chunks at a time over hours just to make sure that their changes are handling the new loads

They were only limiting character creation during certain points of the day (same as logins) based on the situation at the time.

Ahh i c zyeriis. I was wondering why people keep saying they cant create new toons. I guess you can then if you are lucky enough to hit the right time of day.

umm, actually the legacy servers are less populated than the regular non-legacy where did you hear the legacy are more overfilled?..

The second to last column is the population on that server. You'll notice legacy have around 1-2k less.

There is a reason why there are only 4 legacy NA servers and 15 Regular servers, they didn't need any extra legacy servers..
