SE - Please fix EU situation now

[RitsukoSonoda]

Outside of major content updates and expansion launches I'd never had a queue to log into the game until they put the world visit system in unless there was an actual server issue that dropped a large amount if not all players from the game all at once.

I need a better way to kick all those tourists off my lawn :P

They already adressed the problem, lol.

It is really not that hard to understand that this problem is something that can't be solved atm. It is really mindblowing how blind and just unwilling to learn some players are.

But to make an easy example for you fellas. IF YOUR LOCAL FARMER CAN'T SELL YOU POTATOES CAUSE THEY DON'T GET THE SEEDS DELIVERED, THEY CAN'T SELL YOU POTATOES. They might have some potatoes still in stock, but they can't sell you the same amount they did until they get their forking seeds. AND THERE ARE NO SEEDS ATM. And throwing money at the provider of seeds doesn't help cause...ALL THE FARMERS WANT SEEDS AND THE PRODUCTION OF SEEDS TAKES TIME. So it will take time.

They can solve it, they can rent space and then when they have theyr own servers update it....

Yeah it crashed, yes it's annoying.
But it'll be fine.

Not like they want to lose their entire EU community and they won't do anything so don't worry.

We need to indicate the problem anyway. Also, it's not just about the queues. The servers become unstable. I experience disconnects; it takes a lot of time for NPCs to load in the capitals, and so on.

Yeah, Except it's not that simple. It's not like it's literally impossible to get new servers(or do something else to limit stress on the servers the already have). There are thing right now that is making it more difficult sure. It's just going to be alot more expensive since the supply is low and the demand is high. This said is it any wonder that people get upset if they literally can't play the game they pay a monthly fee for? It would have been smarter to have more servers before the shortage happened just in case things like this would have happned. Being proactive rather than reactive. Since the servers have been kinda full even before the surge of new players. This said i'm not that upset personally even if it might sound like it in this post. I'm just worried about the future since it would be sad if their success is ruined because of bad servers.

And with what do you fill this space? Hot air? Servers need semiconductors. There are no semiconductors atm. What should they do anyways, double the amount of servers so you don't have to endure like 20min of login que? Would you like to pay double the sub fee for this too? I mean the money for this has to come from somewhere right?

Stuff will calm down again, like it does after every new expansion release. Why the heck should you triple the amount of servers for something that will bother people for like some days? Sure you should ensure that everything is smooth. But you don't have to like overdo it to an extreme just cause some days were really busy. You don't just double the size of an highway just cause there is a traffic jam on a holiday. lol

... Would you like to pay double the sub fee for this too? ...

Nah, just get rid of free loader login camps

You don't get it, the production of semiconductors is VERY limited. And the producers have CONTRACTS. BINDING CONTRACTS. They can't just say...oh yeah we will sell to the one which throws the most money at us. The car industry needs them. Smartphones. Laptops. PCs. Everything that needs computers to run and yes cars also need these. Against these SE is like a small fish in a shark tank anyways even if there weren't these contracts which binds the producer to deliver to their contractors.

The production time takes (average) 15 weeks. They have to be produced literally under lab conditions. They are literally produced in a nitrogen atmosphere.

Everytime I see my main character in Light with Data not retrievable I get really scared something awful happened to it but it seems the servers/DC are just having a meltdown judging by the huge queues. (Had like 1k to 4k)

Still I blame my optimism, it is really bad.

Yes i know this. But it only applies on the creation of new hardware. Not on existing already created hardware. They don't need to build new servers from scratch they could rent server space. And yes the production of semiconductors is limited but this does not mean 0 servers get created. You can take Sony with the PS5 as an example. They also need semiconductors. And this is why it's hard for people to get ahold on a PS5. But they still produce ALOT of systems. It's just that the supply is lower than the demand. Semiconductors are still being produced and it's not impossible for companies to get a hold of them, it's just that they can't produce as much as before.

tbh i dont see a point having free trial just with one big restriction which its limited to 60 lvl or some sort of msq etc. but hey, im agree with OP. its getting ridiculous, that lags can happen also during 4am or something .

they can try do some emergency solution just for some months before they will solve it for longer time
