To all those complaining...

Wow...people still don't seem to get that these are all issues with the Canadian data center.
That data center over-promised the services they could provide on the budget agreed upon in the contract. Working in the industry I'm in I see this happen quite a lot, and SE being in Japan with the data center being in Canada is very limited in what they can do to force them to do what is needed.

The worst part about this whole thing is the vague explanation. blah blah blah limited logins. If you don't get in try again later. Just when is later? an hour? 20 minutes? Tuesday? How about a real explanation of the plan of when you are going to let people log on.

They should learn from Blizzard, their servers capacity are way too big because as a company they just want to earn money and avoid over all things people complaining and talking shit about them everywhere.

So sad...

Of course people understand that there will be issues when it's early access, even when it's launch, if they don't they're kidding themselves. But the servers have been offline for I believe 4 or 5 times now, within two days, for emergency maintenance, which would still be understandable if the problems were actually fixed afterwards, but they're not. I won't say things are getting worse, but things are certainly not being fixed either. And what grinds my gears most of all is the lack of communication during these problems.

I've been on the SE side through most of this, and I still don't agree with all the outright rage, but they seriously need to start stepping up. And above all, COMMUNICATE.

it's day 2 of early access, the game has been out for 2 days and you expect no problems? have you never been around for a launch? either deal with it or quit.

This doesn't work anymore. If it was beta I would understand a bit but seeing we've technically launched and they are having these major issues that have been present in beta then there is no excuse. You'll get your wish, many people will quit.

People are just getting way too butthurt over these issues. After Beta 4 if you didn't expect problems at EA and Launch then you're just naive.
MMO's have issues when they launch, that much is a fact- maybe not all of them but those aren't the norm, they are the exception.

Does it suck that people can't log in and play the game- yes. It really, really sucks. Are people frustrated? Yes, myself included.
However, if all you're going to do is QQ about it then go do something more productive with your time.
Seriously.
Just go.
Come back later when the issues are fixed and enjoy the game. Stop frustrating yourself further, stop frustrating others around you- be part of the solution, not the problem.

This is a troll thread. Let it die...
The nerve of some people, to think no one has the right, to complain about a product they paid for..
It's more than delusional.
It's downright destructive, to the common sense of the world..

I don't usually like it, when someone tells someone else, to S the F up...
In this case though, I do..

/Thread..

[Eiz]

Well.. to be honest i did. I've been around at 1.0, been at XI, been at Aion.. among others.
Never saw such a absurdity.

I'm dealing with it since FFXIV 1.0 closed beta, so you can figure out..

Guess you didn't see D3 launch huh? servers to big? i doubt so

[EverKing87]

This isnt a freakin beta guys no one should be OK with not getting what they paid for.

In that case i really hope you will start by stopping being part of the Problem.
Complaining about a bad service is a clear sign to the company and the industry in general that its not okay to have these issues.
It should not be normal, to have them.
Since the number of players as i said on page 2 was relatively forseeable for the early acess, there should not have been alot of issues with the server load.
When it launches on the 27th i would have expected more issues, than during an early acess.
