An Open Letter to Yoshida-san: Please Slice One Zero Off the Housing Prices

[Talynia]

Why play the what if game?

So the answer instead is to set the prices so high for some servers and lock out people from content because they cannot seem to plan server capacity properly?

Yes. Because there are a lot more people playing this game than SE or anyone else had estimated when they did their capacity planning. Don't forget they didn't simply decide to add housing a few weeks ago. They've been working on it since months before 2.0's launch.

I don't even.... *sigh* You just proved the point I was making. If a developer is not constantly monitoring server capacity to ensure the features they want to implement run smoothly and not crash the servers then they are not doing a part of their job.

I am well aware they didn't decide to put in housing a few weeks ago which is why the server excuse is unacceptable. They know how many FCs there are, how many people are in each one, how much gil they each have and yet they can't seem to use that data to properly plan server capacity.
