This maintainance fixes nothing for current players

What everyone here fails to mention, login queues. It's so freaking simple, apply a login queue and most frustrations will be gone.
I don't mind being in a 10k queue, at least I know it's going somewhere, what I do mind is having to spam the login button over and over again and getting some bogus 'world full' message every time.

There is a queue, it just only supports a number of people just like servers. If it is currently at that number it just kicks you out with an error.

Each FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn World server has been designed to support a maximum of 5,000 concurrent connections. This is not the maximum number of characters which can be created on a World, however, but the maximum number of characters which can be logged into that World simultaneously. When more than 5,000 characters log into a World at once, there is a higher risk of server crashes and login errors. The restoration of crashed servers is usually followed by a rush of players attempting to log back in, which, in turn, puts a strain on our lobby server, and can ultimately have an adverse affect on all of the Worlds.

I suspect this is to prevent it from crashing as well.

I was actually wondering this myself, as I've read so many different posts the information was all starting to meld together, and I wasn't sure what the maintenance was exactly going to do.

Now just gotta be patient til 8pm tomorrow night to see if I can play (for us here in Aus anyway)
