SE dropped the ball

[Adaros]

But why does no company learn? Everybody is making the same mistakes over and over. There's no excuses anymore for this kind of "experience".

Learn what, exactly? Are you referring to server stability and issues? If so please read my post on page 24, there simply is no way to prevent all issues, you hope they don't pop up and deal with them when they do.

We don't live in an age of perfect harmonious technology, things break.

Need to stop whining, .... Like now

I just quote myself to mark you an mistake they could have avoided easily.

Europe:Population 739,165,030 (2011) - 1 Legacy and 5 normal Servers.
Japan: Population 128,056,026 2010 census - 5 Legacy and 20 normal Servers.

Europe Servers are full like hell, everyone has problem, character creation is closed on almost if not every server. How can you make such mistakes as a company that is capable of basic math ?

Your point being? Adding more servers to the cluster wouldn't of solved anything, the problem is congestion, the worlds are not full, adding a European based Data Server would of helped, however. I'm sure they would of loved to present one too, though I suspect they could not afford it due to recent financial shortcomings and the fact that Final Fantasy XIV: ARR is a huge investment risk.

So in answer to you, no, no it's not a mistake they could of easily avoided. Next?

Yeah, we really don't deserve an own Data Server... we aren't really that much people i guess... oooh they can't afford it ? That's probably because of the 1305315 Japanese Servers, so instead of investing in europe, they invest in an relativ small country and hoping for a big hit... That sure sounds like SE logic.

SE is a illogical company, doing mistakes they could have avoided. Simple as that, you just devliered some sad excuses that could have....wait... are you Yoshi-P ?

Also population counts are the worst possible way to gauge interest in an MMO market, there is much more reliable data to pull from, such as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...Internet_users

Germany + UK > Japan, so where is our Data Server ?

PS: 3 Post per day, ahahaha, nice way to save some more money, buy more japanese servers guys, you got this.

If SE thinks that I will be paying subscription just to be told that I can't access the server, please try again (error 1017)... Think AGAIN... I gave SE all the chances... I pre-ordered collectors' edition of 1.0.. entered the legacy programme... etc etc... If SE blows this time.. that's it... I have a little bit of self-respect left in me...

[Sumara]

Although I have early access, I am not even participating in it.. I got the collectors edition for the in-game items, and things like that. Music, art, etc. The early access is just an extra bonus to me.

Well, action speaks louder than words and SE has made it clear that Japan are the first rate customers and NA/EU are 2nd rate

Guess they won't miss my money then. Too bad because the game seems rather good the few times i've been able to actually play it

Kinda sucks being on the other side of the fence huh ? : P American based MMO's always treat every other country as 2nd rate deal with it :P

Oh but i am by not paying SE any money

Good thing there are loads of other mmos out there

[Daventry23]

You shouldn't be, they have your money and are obviously in over their heads. If you think the game is gonna be 100% smooth even at launch day your nuts. I have played probably over 50 mmos over the last 20 years. This is one of the sloppiest conditions I seen an mmo this close to launch. You should be worried and SE better get ready to start writing up refunds ( Again ).
