So has Aether crashed again?

Oh, that may have been an actual issue, but it may not be the root cause.
They have lots of sustainable servers, people just transferred off for "greener pastures." In reality, they need to lock down Balmung and Greg, and LEAVE them locked, to EVERYTHING. No world transfers to either, and free transfers off, along with the removal of the gil restriction specifically for people leaving them. Add housing wards to the other servers and make it so you can transfer housing between servers.

It could have been fishing ya, but I don't see how something we did since 2.0 is now killing the game. It's true they can't just flip the switch and put new hardware into play, and I don't really know how a transfer between world's would work, since the same amount of traffic would still be there just dispersed out. Before this patch only Bal and Gig only had issues with them being full, now the whole center is dying? I could agree that it is cross pf related, but at the same time that would mean the netcode is so weak for this function that no matter what they do aether will be getting hit left and right.

Have you even tried to directly contact SE? I have. Good luck with that if you try. Have you ever been hung up on for a simple complaint by a corporation of decent standing? SE reps do that with regularity, but keep defending them like you are getting paid to do it. Ya'll crazy.

Yes I have and rarely have I had a problem getting a hold of them but then again I'm not yelling at them either.

Adjusting accordingly wouldnt be needed if they would just be prepaired for this. I mean in all fairness to the player base we pay to play this game. We have a right to want better quality and preparedness.

I get frustrated all the time, i just dont vent at random people on forums, and then get mad when they arent as upset as I am and call them white knights or defenders of inhuman corporations or w/e. I was hoping to finish my relic tonight, not happening, but oh well. Theres always tomorrow.

You assume I yelled at them, which would be wrong of you. So, great addition..... Good lord save us from such irrational acceptance of corporate failure.

So the datacenter is a cluster of servers connected together. Each cluster has the world servers, instance servers, lobby server and all attached to them. Now, what can happen, when you have multiple servers at capacity, is they will bog the cluster down, and can result in a crash. If the traffic from a set of servers exceeds the clusters limitations, then boom.

This is all generalization, I have no idea how SE has the servers set up, but its a good example.

others on this thread assume you yell at SQ because the posts you make seethe with hostility; mostly towards people, random strangers, that are probably having the same problems and pay the same rate, if this is the way you treat those sharing the same problems as you, those same people that you vent your anger at can only imagine how bad you are towards those that may be the cause of your stress.

Not saying your personally yelling at them but I'm sure they get a good amount that do and I was pointing out it not really that hard to get a hold of SE support.
