Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

[JunseiKei]

I brought this up in another thread:

As such, we’ll be instituting a temporary measure that will log all characters out simultaneously across all Worlds on a data center once a day.

Reading comprehension dictates that "a" is akin to "one," therefore you can read it to say "all worlds on one data center." It's no mystery which server is actually having the issue. It's Balmung. The data center it is located on is Aether. Aether will most likely be the only data center, and its worlds, experiencing this lovely addition:

Adamantoise
Balmung
Cactuar
Coeurl
Faerie
Gilgamesh
Goblin
Jenova
Mateus <-- I really feel for these guys
Midgardsormr
Sargatanas
Siren
Zalera

Really, at this point, I'm all for splintering Balmung. I'm pretty sure the transfer incentives are there so SE doesn't start enforcing a hardcap on the server, but with these issues, this should be done. It'll happen again come 5.0. Even if they never remove the ability to transfer to, or create a new character on Balmung, those returning to the game will cause this to repeat. Until players are forcibly removed from this overpopulated server, because not enough are taking the incentives, the issue will happen again. That's not doomsaying, that is just a fact.

We are experiencing a situation where several Worlds are consistently reaching the maximum number of players that can be logged into the game during peak hours.

No, it is not just Balmung that is having issues.

You did not quote the entire paragraph, only one sentence:

We are experiencing a situation where several Worlds are consistently reaching the maximum number of players that can be logged into the game during peak hours. This has led to extended login queues for players to log in.

The paragraph reads multiple servers are hitting maximum players which led to the login queue happening once more and will continue to be in place for longer than had been expected and/or higher numbers than expected. We've known Balmung was not the only one to get a queue, even Cactuar has it. What I am specifically referring to is the auto log-out function affecting worlds and "a data center." Balmung is the only one experiencing queues of 4k+ with a wait time of over an hour to play.
