Good Launch Square. Good Job

i can't believe people defending this launch, i waited 3 hours for 9k+ people on queue and it moved only to 5.6k in "2 hours"

That's 9,000+ people the login system has to process, 9000+ people waiting on a game server full of people for people to log out. When servers are full, it's first-come-first-served in the queue. I'm honestly surprised 3.4K people logged out over the course of 2 hours.

Close to 10K people hitting a login server is insane load so there are going to be issues. The real test is how stable the game servers are, and so far they're holding up beautifully. This is what's called a successful launch.

Thanks for kicking people out of queue. Thanks for allowing 3rd party add-ons to connect without problems. Thanks for all these fine streamers getting an easy in to the game.

Thanks for delaying the game for that.

Using the custom launcer or the official has no difference in who gets in or not, some are lucky some are not.
my friends couldnt use the custom launcer who used it, and i logged in just fine from the normal one, its all luck.
Also theres no streamer priority whatsoever either.
Also Yoshi P said yday on stream that server issues would happen and apologised in advance.

All in all, ure Delusional or simply dont look for information.

Just because your server is holding up ''beautifully'' doesn't mean everyone is having a great time. https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forums/625-Status

I've seen worse launches in MMOs and considering the world state on getting additional server space. I say SE did a good job with the tools they have.

I've had no issues logging on.

Maybe your connection is just that bad?

Can't connect to my DC and seems many people from Zodiark ( My Home world ) claim the same.
Goodjob SE.

I was in queue for 3 hours, kicked out 3 times and now can't even get back to queue due to 2002 error

The Problem in one screen.

[Mixt]

Got booted by 2002 errors several times before even getting into the character selection screen.

Then when i finally get into the que it's 4000 long.

One hour later, it's a 3200.

2002 error, booted.

Try to get back into the que over and over.

NOPE, 2002 errors.

Finally get back into the que.

My place in the que has been lost. It is now 4200 long. Even more than the first time.
