Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

[Skivvy]

Im seeing a lot more eu and jp congested worlds then it just being Balmung >w>

Shhhh, facts don't matter - these forums are for Balmung hating only.

It's almost like they said the world wide logout measures were temporary. People really need to chill. >.>

Personally, I think they are doing this because they see the rift they've created in the community with most English-speaking players blaming Balmung and Balmung players gloating about it. Aside from Early Access, I haven't personally experienced very long login queues at any time during the day on Excalibur.

I kept seeing "Well this system is implemented so cry me a river." Nothing has been implemented, this isn't new. They can push server messages just like we can tells and all the log out thing is is the same thing they use to disconnect everyone for maintenance, this can be done globally (all data centers), at the data center level (like, just disconnecting Primal), at the server level, or even at zone level (like just disconnecting everyone in Kugane). I'm not exactly sure why it was global to begin with, seems like a plan that wasn't well thought out to me...

All but 3 EU Worlds (Lich, Louisoix, Zodiark) still suffering congestion. Really think we need a second EU datacentre and move some Worlds off to that new datacentre. Followed by opening some more Worlds on there. That might also help ease instance congestion further as it'll mean 2 instance server clusters for EU, and not the one. Because congestion is as follows:
JP: 6 with congestion issues. 3 data centres (1, 2, 3 per datacentre respectively)
NA: 2 with congestion issues. 2 data centres (both on same datacentre)
EU: 6 with congestion issues. 1 data centre.

Bear in mind housing instances are apparently offered up by a datacentre wide server cluster, not the individual World server. Hmm, I can't be the only one thinking EU is bursting at the seams here and needing a new datacentre...

EDIT: Let's throw some more detail into this

Bahamut is on Gaia, Carbuncle/Tonberry on Elemental, Shinryu/Chocobo/Mandragora on Mana
Balmung + Gilgamesh on Aether, no worlds with congestion issues on Primal.
All 6 EU worlds on Chaos

I'm glad they've acknowledge the folly of subjecting every world to an inconveniencing measure that only benefits a handful of worlds. Completely and utterly weird to me that it didn't occur to them on the first pass, but all's well that ends well.

Greg isn't that bad though.

Yet giglamesh remains on the list for forced logouts.

Two day turnaround for targeting the daily logout more precisely; that's pretty damn good, SE. I really was too harsh.

While I can see the datacenter shifts working, I also think creating new worlds might not be a good solution. In a few more weeks populations will stabilize as the hype dies down, and in a couple months there will be far less people logging in. It'll eventually return to the core players, hopefully a larger number than before expansion.

I know it is still there, but it isn't needed. The queue are not that bad.

However, as the data I have put forward shows, EU has the worst congestion issues proportionally compared to the other servers. NA/JP have lots of uncongested servers. Consider the fact SE had to open 2 new EU realms, one of which is at the risk of becoming congested as shown here, and I think even after the hype does die down completely, EU will still have issues. I think a more long-term solution needs to be looked at, and a 2nd data centre opened.

You might be right. I mean, two datacenters for one country, one datacenter for a continent?
