German Com rep response to "reservation system for dungeons".

There's always a limit. The more popular the higher chance that limit can be reached. Nothing has infinite resources.

It's only a problem for the first month or so...afterwards I'll doubt it's an issue. The party restriction will make it more stringent.

Say 5 instances can be run at the same time. The chances of all 5 being used at the same time is only likely within the first week after introduction. After that, I'll doubt you'll see more then 3 teams going in at the same time.

Yes but they're building the game for the FUTURE... with a half A$$ed population 5 will NOT be enough o.O That's barely enough for the current... 5 is a sad low number compared to what it needs to be! ... LoL

You'll be surprised how high that number is when you build a game long term, aka FUTURE.

When you only have 2 dungeons, yes it sounds high, but when you have 20. It's quite low. Given that they are 1hour dungeons runs. 5 might even be an over estimate.

Sure you can scale extra power to new released dungeons to increase the size limit, but probably only temporary is needed.

It's such a small issue in this day and age. Though FF14 will have to push more content for it to be realized.
