This World is not accepting any more new characters??!!

4 serveur with a capacity of 5000 people make a pool of 20 K players just for Europe ? Really ?

So they planned on selling only 20 000 copies of FFXIV ARR only in Europe ?

<Snip>

Please SE triple the number of EU and NA servers
and Instanced server dev team is already working on that (latency should be better Hurray !).

5000 x 4 isn't too bad it's about the same for many other MMO's, take in to consideration that it's also concurrent connections, the amount of characters per server is far larger, regardless the physical amount of Servers should be added to with tonight's maintenance, which will also improve the amount of concurrent connections at any one time

The major issue at the moment is the lack of an AFK time-out, which puts us in a position of having a server full of AFK people who won't log out incase they can't back in due to more players logging in and going AFK, it's a vicious circle.

Yeah , afker is a problem .

But Moogle is full atm , so full that some of us who already created a char on this server, can't log in. so we'll have to reroll on other server .

Plus, they're gonna re-open the sales of copies. I'll just hope they're going to add enough server to fix this problem.

Which is what I'm explaining, the server is full because people are not logging out. It is possible to create new characters on the server. Tonights maintenance will improve the amount of concurrent connections to the server, which will let more people log in, it remains to be seen if this will make a substantial enough difference and give the AFKers enough confidence to log out and hope they will be able to get back in, we'll see.

Free servers transfers and an AFK timeout will be the next logical course of action if we don't see an improvement tomorrow.
