    Sometimes it makes you wonder about the person sitting behind the screen and what their thought process must be like overall to post nonsense like this.

    Just the thought that a huge multi-billion dollar company is going to immediately unlock the servers on their game because Venandi on the forums demanded "NOW" in caps. Or the assumption that an entire company has been struggling to locate servers for months but not one of their entire professional workforce had forum user Venandi's intelligence to type "server" into Amazon, so now the problem has been instantly solved.

    I mean ...just ...what?

    That's terrible logic anyways. There's a nation wide coin shortage just because your pocket is full of coins doesn't mean everything is fine.

    Getting new servers is not all that easy right now - and obviously they can't buy just any old hardware, it has to be something with the right specifications whatever they are. And I think you seriously underestimate what they cost.
    Oh, and just adding new servers to a data centre can't be done beyond a certain point, because all the worlds in a given datacentre share instance servers which handle all the instanced group content. They can only handle so many players at a time.
    1. This is an emergency we don't have the luxury to make everything fit in the data center. They can just code the server to be another specification for now or leave them on the floor if they don't fit.

    2. If there aren't enough instance servers then just buy more on Amazon.

    Wows servers cost are estimated years ago to be 120,000+ a day so adjusting for times probably closer to 180k+ I'd imagine ff14 has a similar expense. This guy wants them to just amazon servers and throw them in..

    Doesn't work that way.
    Yes that's the electricity and coding cost, not the actual server cost. Go and find any server on Amazon that is 120k USD.

    They have free returns and refunds on Amazon. If it doesn't work then just refund it. How hard is that?

    It's because the forums lack so much common sense that people don't see the obvious solution so Square Enix is constantly getting the wrong feedback. It's not their fault, it's literally because the forums keep making posts that are incoherent and wrong. People keep talking about a silicon shortage on the forums and so Square Enix believed them.

    Yes, because renewed old server hardware is definitely what will be used.


    You should go back to talking about seasons. You have more knowledge about that.

    It was worth a shot.

    Next time, OP. Next time, for sure.

    The op is providing anecdotal evidence, without understand how anything works on the back end.

    It's be like watching the news hearing ICU beds are in short supply then running a Google search and noticing that you can buy one online for 40k. Even if thar is true there's more to it then just buying a bed.

    The players have given you so much money. Why don't you just buy new servers? Silicon shortage is an excuse when you can easily find a lot of servers on Amazon:
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RJT19GS...3CMZKH965SVHWQ

    All you need to do is to buy the servers and ship it to the data center then connect them to a power supply. Seriously how hard is that? Instead we're punished as players. We only need 4 or 5 more servers to alleviate the congestion. That's like $3000 including shipping. The game makes like millions of dollars. This is a drop in the ocean. We need to demand them to buy new servers on Amazon and unlock Aether NOW.
