Further proof that the market wards are a festival of failure.

the fact still remains that even if the wards were any-good could you imagine them if 6 million people played this game. I dont play wow but that the number of players they claim to have.

Well it isn't like all WoW players play on the same server. I'm not to sure a game server could even possibly handle that many people. I think it would blow up or eat an intern or something.

How about something more realistic? 6000 players on a server.

Yeah, all the wards in all the cities in game at the moment couldn't handle that many players' retainers. . .

Highly doubt that all of the MW combined can take 12,000 retainers when just Ul'dah is buckling under ~1000 retainers.

im talking about capacity, how many can fit into the wards(you can fit about 4000 per city if all the wards are maxed out)
im not talking about stability of the wards

Uh.

What's the point of having this "capacity" if the wards crash long before you even get there?

Some ppl are so utterly stuck on this failed system its so funny.
Its like fighting reason and Consumer aka Fan happinessis is the "IN" thing for SE and their self appointed "player reps"

If SE could actually pull the type of fans new and old that quit back to the game(which is highly unlikely judging by the progress) the market wards would crash everyday we and they know this, and so do the "player reps" denial seems to be in fashion for some ppl when it comes to FFXIV, namely all 10 of the ppl that still even bother to log into this crafting sim.

I really hate this is happenening because I thought that this was gonna be an advanced sequel to SE's 1st MMO in the FF series, like most did.

Man how could they get it SOOOO wrong lmao damn if they had at least got the damn classes right, wth were they thinking? >.>GLD MRD THM CON say what you will about XI but when it hit the US it was the ish.
Sorry to rant its just mind boggling how they could botch this game so badly when the company had a great blueprint.... At this point If we see a FINAL producers letter i wouldnt at all be surprised =/ 1.18 is crucial.
Spending this much time in forums when the game is up&running is rediculous the "player reps"
talk ish about ppl complaining, but they spend the most time in the forums with some having 1,000-3,000+
post...

You don't think a high thirties Famitsu score at PS3 launch is enough to pull in 1 mill worldwide? I'd wager you're wrong... granted many wont stay past the free month.... But such is life with MMO's

200 (retainers per ward) x 19 (wards per city) x 3 (number of cities) = 11,400 retainers supportable, currently, before they adjust the cap. As stated (and it looks like you even agree), the wards would crash long before getting to this number, and it's still 600 retainers shy of the 12,000 you think they can support.
