You need more infrastructure, SE

[Alhanelem]

I'm not upset. Every game launch has snags like this. Clearly, a lot more people are wanting to play Realm Reborn than anyone anticipated. But it's at a point where optimization and tweaking and bug fixing aren't going to solve the problem. According to Yoshida, basically every NA world is at capacity. Now, I realize that you don't want to set up too many worlds and end up having to merge ghost towns later, but considering there is yet another influx of people coming in a couple days and most current worlds are restricted from character creation, a few more worlds are probably needed. And similarly, the server capacity of the instancing servers for each center need to be increased. Optimization can only take you so far.

Please get it done SE. You've made a great game, now you just need to let everyone be able to play it.

I ain't mad too SE just do what you gotta do. If you have to sacrifice a day to make it happen I say do it! I can do other things while you make the game better and playable.

I agree 100%

In the end SE did not plan on the # of Legacy that would return since so many were absent in All Phases of Beta. The sheer number of NA /EU players that would last minute order. The servers are simply overwhelmed at this point. Only one thing will "Fix" this. SE needs more power outlets for all those new servers they are shipping to Montreal.

Either way though aggravating , I would otherwise not care unless this game is completely worth the wait. Do what you guys need to Yoshi and Team. Me and my Family 4 pack accounts will be here supporting you all.


I also support voluntary transfers for those willing to move to JP servers.

more servers is needed two days ago.... can always merge later if needed

SE wouldn't be shipping servers to Montreal lol. The data center would provide servers to SE based on specs as defined in the contract. the servers would then be configured remotely to run the game.

Finally an intelligent post.

Software optimizations are only going to go so far. They may alleviate the instability cause by current demand, but when that demand goes higher (actual release), these servers are just going to completely go offline; or they absolutely hardcap the servers on connections, and thousands of customers won't be able to play at all.

I mean we're having server overload problems on EARLY RELEASE. Think of what many more hundreds of thousands of people is going to do to these things when release hits in .. 2 days.

I've yet to come across a data center that was completely full and unable to take on new servers. And I work with datacenters (I control the logistics of hardware going in/out of the financial district's datacenters in Edinburgh). xD

Ok so your familiar with then the concept of what SE should be paying for a Managed Datacenter. There should be ample servers there ready to go they would just need to be loaded and configured wghich is fine because we would never see it, but at the same time SE could simply notify us or rent the servers and boom problem solved. This is why you pay admins the big bucks on a major launch like this they would be working overnight in teams to get the new servers up running and tested.

Whatever it is phase 4 was an EPIC FAIL & so is the Early Launch, I can't wait for the Official release day so SE to get another slap in the face to wake up and smell the coffee, I will defiantly stop bothering myself until the first free month is over that's when things will improve and SE would feel the pinch of players dropping out like fly's.

[Chocob0charmer]

They can a hundred servers, but the legacy world's will still be congested. Pretty sure that's the issue.

I mean there's 4 worlds for NA to house everyone who played 1.0 in NA, that's insane. They gotta let people out of legacy worlds.

The "I want a fresh start" argument doesn't matter anymore when there are people in JP already in their 40's for the new jobs and there will be 50 DoH soon to. We need to prioritize getting the servers spread out more evenly, which will never happen if legacy players can't transfer.
