Dear FFXIV ARR (SE), This is the real world... Buck Up!

200,000 is the number of people logging (or logged) in at one time, not how much the servers can hold or how many players can play at one time.

Players logging in or being logged in at the same time is the same as capacity. The entire system needs to be brought down and changed... Something they should have done immediately instead of letting it go on for week

They didn't expect that many concurrent players, because they based their estimates of what to expect on the playerbase of XI and XIV 1.0... 1.0 actually had significantly less capacity than this (like half), and never crashed from being full except during MAJOR events such as the very end of the game.

This is everything I've been saying for the past week.

At least they'll still have as many blind fanboy's to follow them into the next hole. Valid criticisms are valid for a reason, you show your emotional investment into the game by down playing others problems.
