The server is full, try again later (1017)

[Kiteless]

Still at work for another 30 minutes. I was looking forward to coming home and playing FFXIV, but it sounds to me like everyone is still having the same issues with the worlds being full. Oh well. Luckily, I'm a patient person

I like to consider myself a patient person too, but just because I'm patient doesn't mean I'll appreciate being treated like a moron.

What's happening here is they're going off predictions of how many people will be playing in the long term (as in more than a couple of months), and bought just enough hardware to support that. That way, they minimize their costs on supporting the massive launch load, compared to 6 months to a year down the line when they're just milking the loyals with monthly fees. Why waste money on machines that they won't need soon?

And in keeping things to such strict minimums, they end up pushing away people who could potentially become 'loyals.'
Sure, they might not need machines soon, but part of that might just be because of their own doing, not the consumer base.

If you look at the JP servers, they've got the same amount as TWO continents... let me repeat that, TWO CONTINENTS, and no doubt a much smaller population to fill said servers.

It's also extremely clear that they're quick to help and deal with problems on the Japanese side of things but we're essentially in the dark with virtually zero assistance or communication.

This is why Korean/Japanese games are suffering outside of their country of origins. People are sick of the double-standards.

And you know exactly who we can blame for this...

I should have known, of course.

Thank you for opening my eyes to the truth.
