    I have not known a MMO based company, especially one with as much MMO development experience as SE, to ever underestimate server capacity to this degree. Sure new MMOs have load bearing problems and maybe laggy servers at the start, but do they stop selling games and disable character creation all together? Do you have any idea just how far off the mark SE was with this? There is a difference between being slightly off in your estimates, and being miles off. SE screwed up big time.
    A larger MMO company, with way more experience then SE, halted digital sales.

    While Arenanet developed Guild Wars 1 and 2, NCsoft published. And NCsoft is one of the largest MMO publishers in the world.

    Sim City, another game that requires always online, also stopped digital sales. How long has EA and Sim City been around?

    GW2 PLANNED to stop their sales ahead of time, giving fair warning and notice, and that was after they had a sizable amount of players. And they ONLY stopped selling digital copies for a brief period, which meant you could still buy retail versions and play just fine! SE has stopped ALL game sales, ALL character creation, and has shitty lagged out servers that even those WITH the game can't even play on. Don't even try to compare this fiasco to GW2.

    And Sim City was a joke, one that FF seems to share.
