Servers are full. Grats JP/GMT players. NA = Screwed.

This was the last straw for me, I'm done. I'm done playing a Japanese-centric game from North America.

I got on Gugnir but I'm waiting on 2 linkshell members to get in as well >< I'm sick of been stuck on a social server....

there are a lot more pole happy with the merger conditions then upset.

Now when you say they shouldn't listen to the community, should they open more slots for servers because people want them or should they leave as is.

There are several reasons I can come up with why SE is keeping the slot numbers limited:

1) Servers are simply full and more people might cause lag >>> SE should not open any additional slots

2) Servers are not full, but to make sure every server got enough people they are limiting certain servers to even the numbers a bit >>> SE should not open any additional slots

3) Servers are mainly full because of inactive people: Kick them and make paying/active players a priority. After this round of merge is over they could give the inactive people the chance to transfer (without having to activate their account). Too bad if their server is full.

Just my opinion, SE has the insight and the knowledge to make their own decisions. We can give input or feedback, but we should stop crying about every single fart.

There is hardly enough people in this game to lag the servers out lol I think they are trying to balance the servers for new people who start playing the game.

Do not underestimate the power of the crappy coding of FFXIV v1.0

wait, the communtiy was against the option we got? are you from another dimesnion where people didnt moan and whine yelling at a mixed option that we ended up getting in the end?

players got what they wanted, they just didnt think about the end result of it



on another hand, i personaly think tey will raise the caps on servers bit by bit over time so this isnt the end all and all servers arent capped for good

[Takinagi]

Oh god I know right...I really don't know what to expect from this company any more lol soon SE will be dead to me at this rate xD 2.0 better blow my F#$*ing mind.

3) was option 4. what SE chose. what the community went aginst.

Exactly, that what I was trying to say (on a previous post). I had no problems with that option.

Community wanted option 2, without thinking (as usual). Square Enix decided to combine it with option 4, which was fair enough. The only thing the community forgot was that the inactive people would take 50% (if not more) of the slots.

So I guess, best option would have been option 2 + 4 + ignore inactive players.

Also remember that you can not simply say "FFXIV has not enough players to lag the servers". Square Enix is currently also counting all the thousands of inactive players too and that is the current problem, a problem created by the community, so really not the place to blame Square Enix this time.
