yay labor day weekend here in the US and guess what, WE CANT LOG IN...of course Square doesn't care the jp servers are up and running with some minor congestion problems that they fixed over night. instead of posting well were off to play see ya in the world or all these posts of little issues that wont come in to effect til next patch how about everyone works together to fix the afkers and gold spammers causing the congestion. What point is there in being able to sort your inventory or any minor "quality of life improvements" if you cant even log in.

The sever expansions are coming this week. It's not that easy to just throw in some random code without testing it. It would likely take longer than a week or two to even implement an afk kick. We all know how much QQing goes on around here; if they implemented something like that this quickly and it caused another server bug, everyone would by crying about how SE screwed up again.

If they beta tested longer than just 4 weekend phases then they would have been more prepared is my opinion. The last beta test should have started far sooner and lasted at least a month and not just on the weekend. Then they could have been more prepared for this. I get what you are saying but the we didnt expect this excuse is getting dry.

I live in Japan and play on Japanese servers and I can't login either (for the past 2 nights), our primetime is just as bad as NA/EU primetime, and yes its very frustrating and my patience is running thin. But the argument of JP servers are fine and never have problems really need to end.

Indeed. The earlier issues that affected only the NA/EU data centre have been resolved (yay, progress), which leaves the congestion issue.

My current concerns are that while they are clearly planning to add new worlds to alieviate the congestion, there are two other things that need to happen which have not been discussed by SE:

• How to get the existing servers uncongested by getting players moved off them an on to the new servers.
• Addressing Lobby Server capacity so that it can actually handle the floods of login attempts that follow a datacentre crash, or even simply planned maintenance.

I shall be forcing myself to patience for the next week since they clearly have some things in the works. We can re-assess then.

(Also, in my opinion, open beta was far too short to properly pick up on and resolve the bugs that have only just emerged from the woodwork with the Phase 4 updates.)
