Servers Locked Again..!!

[Kokomoko]

They need to lift this lock ASAP. For people wanting to play with friends in a server that is locked this is the same as not having the game you PAID for.

No it is not. SE have NEVER guaranteed that you'd be able to log onto a specific server and play with specific people. It isn't SE's fault that some servers are more popular than others.
You're frustrated and I can understand why, but this problem is simply unavoidable. There is only so much space available, and once it is full, it is full.

I think this is only partially true. Otherwise, they could not add processing or storage power to the server to alleviate congestion (like it was done for beta phase 4).

This is a multiplayer game. The main reason Im playing this game is because it is cross platform and that allows me and a group of friends to play together. I think it is a reasonable expectation to be able to play with you friends in a multiplayer game. Not being able to do so kind of defeats the purpose of the game. So for a lot of us this is unacceptable, comparable to not having the game at all. A game that was preordered and payed for in full before release on the promise that on this day I would be able to play this multiplayer game with my friends.

I totally understand what you're saying, but I still don't accept that this is SE's fault. You and all your friends, IF you so wish, could all team up, start again and join a new and uncrowded server together. SE can't let everybody play on Moogle server. They just can't. Why don't you have a chat with your friends about playing elsewhere? If they start over they've only lost a day or 2's progress, but you all get to be together

...uh yes they can...its called a queue system.

There was a post somewhere that SE mentions not everyone would be able to play EA even if they pre-ordered the game. They were limiting the number of codes going out. This means they let too many people in already and you guys are complaining because they decided to ignore their own statement saying that EA would be limited.

"In case we do release the limitation, there is a high chance that the corresponding World will crash or cause issues, and we are thinking that it will be difficult for us to release it for a while." -Yoshida

...and how exactly does a world crash if there is a queue system preventing too many people from logging into a world at any given time?
