You gross 200 Million in subscriptions a month why are your servers junk?

[Hero188]

its literally 2 post above you, accept bad servers.

Fixed it for you.

Not at all, suggest a solution that isn't move to a almost as crowded server, or you know.. literally anything at this point and we might have something to go on.

Right now, I see literally 0 proposed solutions and all the more reason for people like you to just accept your paying your subscription fee for no reason.

What are you talking about? I'm on Balmung. You know, Balmung? The server that has been over populated since day ONE of ARR that is STILL over crowded. You know what my highest queue was (that wasn't ddos'd enhanced)? 27. That's right. 27 person long queue...on BALMUNG. Do you know why? Because when Crystal was added everyone and their uncles on the other Crystal servers decided to move to Aether and Primal. Perhaps if they'd stayed our queues would be longer and yours shorter but no the word from Aether was "RPer's are BAD PLAYERS! Come to Aether if you want to be able to do raids and dungeons because the new expansion will be dead on arrival on Crystal!"

And they listened, and they transferred. Well...guess what? We're still getting dungeons done. Pretty quickly and easily because RPers actually are just as good as everyone else. We have to be because it's the ONLY way we'll get the gear we want for roleplay. Now we just get the added benefit of low queues because everyone else has a phobia of us.

Want your experience to be better? Transfer. Because as I said before, NO company would add extra servers as long as they have half a dozen servers still mostly empty. They will just encourage you to move on your own. Keep it up and you might find yourself on the wrong end of a server split and shoved into Crystal against your will.

You post sounds like demanding...and as a players all we can do is ASK politely for a change...not demanding like i seen not just on this but in another post, sounds like youre a boss or something, SE not going make a move for anyone who points fingers in theyrs faces.

Good news, because to run 30 more servers with SSD's 32GB of server ram and Xeon Processors 3.5Ghz AND 1GBS of upload speed is only.....

(drum roll.....) 4,950 dollars a monthhhh. Which isn't even 3% of the monthly earnings YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

32gbs of ram is nothing in the server space. literally nothing. And 3.5 ghz xeons also means nothing. How many cores are these? also. You are thinking 1gbit links, not gbyte links. these are very different.

Most of the servers I work with at an enterprise level start at 256gigs of ram, with some at 512gigs. As for cores? anywhere from 12-28 core xeons. Depends on the need of course. Most of our links are 25gbit now, with 40s and 100s at the network backbone.

For a server engineer you sure dont seem to know much about modern server infrastructure lol.

You also didn't include the most expensive part of any server farm, the SAN storage.

Sorry. That money has to go into the FFVII Remake. Please look forward to it.

I was already on the wrong end of a server split. I was on the Japanese server in 1.0. When the new data centers and new worlds were created i was pushed to Balmung.

That is how i know it does NOT work. Been though it in 1.0 to 2.0 and have STILL been having the same problem ever sense.

The quote is for fail-over off-site servers. Not on premise fully paid servers which is why its a monthly charge.

I know VERY WELL what 32gigs of ram will do in a server. Will do plenty fine as fail-over when traffic is FAR too high.

You must have gotten you're degree at the school of google, probably written on toilet tissue. Kudos for the crayon on it.

Highlander, dudebro hair, shades. I sense a rather (wishes he was a) chad personality type here and nothing that isn't rolling over for you will bring you any satisfaction.

Fail over servers work great, when it's not something like this. You are severely underestimating not only how their servers work, but what they need hardware wise. They clearly have backup servers in essence, as that's how we get the zone instances, and they have increased player capacity.

Maybe now you will stop telling people to dog pile on a single server or datacenter. It's clearly worked well for us on crystal though. No login queues for me at all. Thanks for telling everyone crystal was dead!
