    You can't expect a company to buy extremely powerful servers that could handle a heavy load of players on the same place, all of that just for a few minutes a day in a single place, which will likely involves less and less players as time passes. It'd be a huge waste of ressources 99% of the time.

    Then they have to find a better solution. Create a clone backup instance as soon as the first one hits maximum load, or remove the time required to camp and get reward stripping an MMO feature out of the game because of a server problem.
    I dealt with this kind of problems for a long time, and now I'm tired.
    EDIT: For all the people claiming that is an user problem, if the game doesn't let me get into the area because of congestion, its not my fault. Furthermore, because of work I have a quite powerful internet connection, and have to deal with lag DCs in every occasion like that.

    Odin still laggs even today and I still see lots of people there. Also unlike other big fate bosses Ixion has a mount behind it. So no I cant see how this gets better soon. Also this is bad for a complete zone! You not only punish the people that are wanting to kill Ixion but also those that want to do story or gather. Also Ixion is not the only zone killer, PotD seems to make its zone unstable and laggy too.

    And maybe if the servers cant handle it..maybe they should just simply stop doing such fates?

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
