Aether is officially locked

[Kahnom]

I feel like Aether DC is full because of too many ERP-ers there.
And its gonna be even worse in Endwalker.
I bid you Aether residents a good luck for 5k log in queue on early access.

So Stormblood launch. I mean seriously, people act like we've never experienced this before. Look up the "Aether, Shadow of Login" memes. Been here, done that, got the T-shirt. We'll survive like we did then.

Given the circumstances I didn't find the login queue to be that big of an issue with SB. It was trying to click on the main quest givers to pickup quests that was the problem for me. That was definitely a time I wished I was on a JP server after seeing how they would form a queue.

We did queues back for ARR's release when we had similar issues. I didn't try to MSQ early for SB to run into the issues for...Reasons, so I'm not sure why it apparently didn't happen this time.

It got pretty bad during early access. The crashing was the worst part, though, nevermind actually getting into a queue, haha. Then the instance server was overloaded so were all stuck in the first zone unless we were lucky enough to get through.

I figure if we can survive that and keep playing, we can survive this.

And we did queues on Jenova. I've got some screenshots from how massive they got. I got my gatherers to 65 instead and waited for SE to fix things.

I was lucky enough to skip the whole Raubahn and Pippen EX thing. I recall FC mates complaining about it tho and being confused then going back to those NPC's and seeing the horde of ppl around them. There was only like... 2-3 ppl around them when I did them bulldozing the new MSQ as a tank for the instaqueue.

One of the worst bits for us was when someone would lie in shout chat that they got through and people kinda forgot the queues for a second before they got, no pun intended, back in line.

This reminds me.... I still want to make a "I beat Raubahn Extreme" tee shirt because of that whole launch.
