You bet if Cashshop ttansactions were halted like this, Dev team would have been woken up in the middle of the night and helicoptered in to fix that asap.

I don't understand how the lines would work. Anyone able to explain?

Don't listen to those that don't know what they're talking about.

The lines help by preventing further congestion from the instance server being spammed. Without lines, the server gets thousands of spam signals that slows the process down even more. By lining up and taking turns in an orderly fashion, not only does that reduce the delay due to no spam, but it shows common decency and lack of selfishness.

14 Hours and it is still not working.

Srsly, in an western company, whoever thought this would be a good idea, would have been fired already!
This is completly harming the Game!

There are already News on Gaming Sites about this. Is that what you wanted?
Bad News are news too at the end?

If I could, I would like to get a refund for my Expansion + the sub. I came back from WoW just to play this Expansion. I regret it to the fullest!

I will give this another 12 Hours. If it is no fixxed by then, I will quit FF14 for good and get back to WoW Legion again!
I am sure, I would not be the only one you lost cause of this really reeeaaaally dump decision to bottleneck us at this very early stage.....

If you leave now, that's one less person in queue for us.

The thing that has me so heated by this is the fact that I was legitimately enjoying myself, I was excited to see the zones, music, and new enemies. See where the story was going to go and really looking forward to seeing the rest of the zones that the game had to offer. I was up at right at early access and excited to go. Now I've been stuck at this point for 15+ hours (as of the time of this post) and it completely killed the momentum and fun I was having, I really wanted to enjoy playing today and now because of this issue with the instances I can't. I won't even be happy when I do get it done, more of a "it's finally over!" kind of feeling.

15 hours...
I don't get why they have not made this skippable, or just dropped all the mobs in the instance hp down to 1 so people can burn through.

This is genuinely terrible service. People keep spouting at me "Oh well it's early access!" And? That's no excuse. There was something easily fixable about all of this and Square has done absolutely nothing about it. The most they've done is say "We know the issue is bad, please try again later." And a vague suggestion they MIIGHT be working on it. The entire day this has been an issue, the fact the servers havent been taken down once to try and fix this is appalling.

Actually, it's a very valid excuse.

There is literally nothing they could do. Taking down the servers won't let them just "fix" it. That's like suggesting that a stadium or auditorium could be "taken down" and fixed from being overcrowded during a game or event.

This is par for the course for any content release of any major MMO... yes, that's including WoW.
