Regarding Results of Maintenance (Sep. 4): Follow-up

[AarosLunos]

I'll echo what a few other people here have written..
The new simultaneous user max is over 400,000 with room to go up from there.
That's right around the Guild Wars 2 all time record, which is also a FREE TO PLAY game.

If ARR is ramming up against this new number, then things are really really good for the game.

Also, SE did something tremendously smart by increasing server capacity before adding a ton of new worlds.

Completely agreed, and as the cap increases per world things will be better off. I'm not one to arm-chair sysadmin like others here...but with large scale systems like this, you really want to test how your software/hardware responds under certain load conditions. SE is wise to gradually raise the player cap per world to ensure stability.

Funny thing is with all you complainers saying " square ruined another FF game, Im quitting etc etc" if this was truely a issue in your eyes and you hated square so much you wouldn't be on the forum complaining nor would you be trying to spam logins. So admittedly you are all dedicated to square and love them to death your just trying to be like the "cool" kids and say the game sucks, you hate square. Because thats the "cool" thing to do

The haters never really actually mean what they say. Once they can play, they'll "forget" they ever said such nasty things on here :P

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how many servers GW2 has? I'm just wondering what the rough max number of concurrently logged in players is on their servers (or any semi successful mmo for that matter) to compare to this new upgrade of ~7500-7800 concurrent players in XIV.

So funny you had to bring Legacy players into this, its almost like. . .you are a troll. Ignore list time.

You should just ignore everyone that disagrees with your white knighting. Then you can argue with yourself.

I seem to remember hearing some PR a while back that at launch GW2 had around 400k concurrent users total across all servers.

*EDIT* Concurrent users doesn't not equal total playing population.

And how many servers did they have?

Not even sure if they tried to fix any the existing issues. More likely than not they only had the maintenance to add new worlds. The purpose of new worlds to help with login issues?? No I don't think so at all, the only thing new worlds is so that they can sell more copies/digital downloads again. A scramble to make more money before the free trial is over and they end up 20k subscribers again.

If only he was alone.

You sound SO hurt. Q.Q all through this post.
