For other mmos its okay if they messed up their launch as most of them are either buy to play or free to play.

But ffxiv is a whole different story. We are paying to play this game. We are being charged monthly. So it is not acceptable that while we are paying them, we cant play because of their mistake. Sure mistakes happen, but this is something that can be avoided right from the start. We are paying them therefore theres no excuse for them that they lack the funds to pay for upgrading their servers.

you know we just beat the record of "players online at the same time" for a Japanese game? never tought that might be the cause

taken fromthis site/

Just yesterday we learned that the game had broken the record for concurrent connections (users online at the same time) for an online game operated by a Japanese company with 187,000 users online at the same time, and today’s numbers are even higher.
