Can we maybe hold off on the Welcome Back Campaign?

While I agree, it's still not an "offense" that can be reported cause they technically aren't doing anything wrong.
I still say the main issue is we have certain servers on certain data centers that are filled with tons of people,
I believe SE should do like they did in XI and offer a free one time server transfer so we as the player base can try to spread the population around so we don't continue to bog the servers down during updates/expansions like this.

Yeah, it's silly that players are blaming each other for the log in issues when the lack of space is really an issue that can only be remedied by SE.

A world will never be able to handle 100% of its users logged in at the same time. These population caps are set up with the idea that only a portion of the entire population will be on at once, with the rest of the accounts offline. When the inactive players do not go offline it causes the population to push beyond levels the servers can comfortably handle - in ANY MMO.

I'm not saying SE is blameless here as much of the poor handling of this launch is on their end (and their lack of action is extremely disappointing), but let's not pretend the people going AFK for hours on end instead of logging off aren't making the problem worse. I understand that people feel they have to remain online 24/7 to beat the login problems, but they are in fact helping to cause the very problem they're trying to beat.

This is wayyy too soon. Albeit the logins aren't as horrible as 2.0; people still cannot play.
Give this RIGHT as expansion hits and this a bad idea.
You should give people a month or so before you open more floodgates folks can't handle.

On moogle I'm not having login errors. I feel sorry for you guys that are. Maybe that's why I never tried to make a character on balmung and the like. Big servers cause big problems. I like my medium server maybe se needs to make more medium server's to quite those who are big ones like balmung up

[Imladris]

Sounds more like this is all a simple analogy of, Square made a bigger building, expecting more population in it, but they left the same old turn asle doorway, everyone at once is trying to get in and out of, to get 'into' the lobby of said building. Getting in is seriously akin also of Russian Roulette, except we got our money being wasted instead of being shot at. (Feels as bad somehow.)

I imagine someone at Square-E in the IT department screamed about this happening, but higher ups turned a blind eye, from all the cha-ching in them. =><=

Yeah if you are not on Aether data center you are fine. The servers themselves have bigger queues which is expected but most Aether dwellers can't actually even get to character select due to lobby errors. Which is why this is frustrating. The big two are on the same data center and its making it near impossible to play. I can only get on if I try at ungodly hours. I can only imagine how bad this is going to get when they start trying to coerce people back amid the actual release. I hope all their hamsters revolt. That is all.

[TinyMonster]

Are you serious? I have issues just getting online on Adamantoise but wants more people jamming up the servers? Can we fix the data centers first please!

[Amenian]

I was curious how long it would take to start seeing threads like this. /popcorn

I wonder if net has something to do with it, in terms of connecting faster. Cuz I have High Speed Cable and the Data Center is literally only like 3 or 4 states from me.

The net it depends on how many windows you have open in the browser plus, how much RAM to allow to filter through easier.

Right now, we are dealing with a real problem Aether Data Center is having corrupted data received and on top of that 2 of the BIGGEST servers overpopulated on the data center too. Allowing no one to be able to log on & play!
