Aether Data Center Down

[Arcsol93]

Dunno about everyone else, but as much as I love balmung and my guild, I'm hopping ship. With the welcome back campaign starting in two days this will go on well into a month, this is practically the beginning of the end. I really don't care about in game money, I'm losing real world money when I can't even log on with my sub and don't even have the ability to play anymore. If I have to switch to a different world so be it.

How are you losing real world money, unless your job is RMT...in which case, welcome to your ban!

[RukiaFae]

You loose money by not being able to use a service you purchased. You are paying money for nothing. I'm sure that's what she meant. Gee jump to conclusions

You're paying to play and you can't play. That's losing real world money.

Frankly if I didn't have a house I'd really consider it even as someone who RP's. Unfortunately my two man FC has a house and several private rooms and after the hell of getting it I'm not about to abandon it now. I've been trying for an hour. Twice I got into queues that 2002'd out and the rest of the time lobby errors. I'm still dumbfounded they are letting people play for free when we, who are paying them, cannot even play. Is there no one somewhere looking at this going 'wow that seems like a bad idea'?

Also, Nanga, money is being lost because we paid for early access and paid a monthly sub. So we are essentially throwing them money to only log on for hours at a time when everyone else is sleeping. God knows if we will even be able to manage that after the 23rd and the free to play week.

I think many are thinking hard about a server transfer at this point.

Same here~ guess i'll have to join EU servers & sadly not Primal data center since it has issues too! while JP data centers had no issues at all

White Knights keep it up & enjoy being a masochist...

I've seen way too much White Knighting in *THAT OTHER POPULAR MMORPG* and I was REALLY hoping coming here would change that. Nope.

Funny thing is, NA servers have Launch Day congestion issues, while the 3 Japanese Datacenters are all humming along at 110% efficiency. THANKS SQUEENIX <3

Japanese expected work ethic is the difference I'm sure. It's not like they staff the Canadian data centers with the same people that staff the Japanese centers.

I think in this case it has far less to do with work ethic, and far more to do with the fact SE has two data centers for a continent with over 400 million inhabitants while they have three data centers for their home country and surrounding regions that contain less than half North America's populace.
