I agree with this completely.The bigger problem might be they need more physical server racks, they might be bustin balls to get what they currently have working until they can get more server capacity up and running. Basically a band-aid on the problem for now, it's evident they have far more people than they projected and planned for.
The trick is not spend a *too* much upgrading to allow capacity for people who might play a month or so then leave. They should probably look into renting out server space for now until they see how much they are going to need when the sheer amount of logins settle down and they see how much they actually need.
well, they could move the EU server to ya know. the EU?
Ireland is great, apparently. so long as you place them outside of northern Ireland (because then its outside of the eu via a technicality of the north part being under English laws) you are part of the EU, and unlike the datacenters of Germany (anyone rememeber the problems nintendo had with the 18rated games because nintendo of europe was based in Germany and so had to follow their laws about 18 and adult rated entertainment?) you can still have blood and gore happening to humanoid characters and whatnot. probably cheaper too.
and if they offered a free migration for those that were willing to start up on new NA/EU servers, instead of waiting months to offer it as a paid service, alot of the problems would be at least, cooled down. fewer angry posts, less trouble and conjestion on launch day too. infact, why not open some more EU servers and designate them specific language (ie , german and french, since i have seen a fair few people asking in those languages for free companies) offer them a free transfer there and make even more people happier.
Wait... Data centers actually located where the title implies??? Pfft.Based on what Yoshida said, I doubt thast would work.
the only real fix I'd see, is splitting the servers from all being in the same place.
Different data centers. Which would cause a similar issue where JP severs and NA/EU servers cant communicate together.
(I could be wrong, but this isnt an issue with hardware but programming from what he said.)
they're just vand-aiding. hopefully they catch up and patch a fix before launch.
I think they should add more servers and allow legacy and non legacy players on the over populated servers to choose to migrate to the new servers. Also they should look at adding a second instance server, and separating the north american servers into 2 instance groups.
kinda off topic but
<<=====this hairstyle....very popular.
on topic: i think a solution to this would be to remove quest based instances and only reserve instances for dungeons. all those server requests for instances must have burned out the servers.
How much longer? Lol
