Whats Going On With The Market Wards?

[Dimo]

Seems every few hours on lodestone's front page, there is a (Insert Server name)World Recovery from Technical Difficulties, with the reason being Uldah's market wards. This has been going on for the past few days... Are there just so many people abandoning Limsa/Gridania wards and sending retainers to Uldah's, so much so that it crashes? Or is there something bigger going on? I know the later is pure speculation (Auction House preparations?? ), but the former is a little concerning. Thoughts??

Not sure but I hope they stick with Market Wards for this game

Ima go with yes, people are over filling the Ul'dah wards. I hope they keep them, I love the kitchy 1950 style shoping music

im pretty sure they try to fix the new mechanic that automatically sets your retainer back in the ward where it was after maintenance and ward crashes.

I hope they'll permanently damage

so we can finally get an AH

This must have something to do with The Last Word and this impending doom approaching Eorzea.

Maybe they ran out of space for people.

Then ul'dah will crash constently with ppl afking at the brokers/ windows. And it be boring w/o the kitchy music.
