Why no new servers? Not just this launch but the last 8 months?

ooooo i wonder if they ever considered restricting the early access availability as they knew the servers were going to be a bone of contention........

crickets !!!!

Restricting it to.. what or who exactly..? Free trial players cannot get in unless it's calm enough to where there isn't thousands of paying players waiting.. so.. restrict what or who? And someone who owns SHB and is subscribed has just as much of a right to log in and play as you who have EW and want to enjoy your Early Access.

I like how they said can't get more servers but some how the new mmorpg's that just came get them. Like New World Online that just came out this year. They could have added a new database and server's a few years ago before this shortage. They just didn't think about prepairing for the future player base that they have now. Pretty sure there hasn't been a chip shortage going from 2010 when 1.0 came out to now. If they really want fix the server problem they could add offline playing option. I think the old phastasy star online games had one.

I did read both posts but find them wanting.

Don't know how to tell you this but CBUIII doesn't develop their game to revolve around you.

there has not been a shortage, but WoW was also dominating and until early this year, well into the Pandemic (you heard of that happening right?) and global supply chain shortages as well as travel restrictions, and when WoW imploded.... there was not as pressing a need to bring extra servers up. Its a different philosophy than Blizzard, who added a TON of servers, and are now closing them, oops, I mean "creating joined worlds". that sounds better right? The players know the place is becoming fairly empty and know the truth to the lies they are constantly fed.

No one could have predicted what happened to WoW or where those players would jump to. in Early 2021, people were still happy with the game job they had playing WoW. the future looked certain. why would they decide on a pressing need for more servers?

besides, the point is not the servers, they are fine, and stable. the issue is the login servers. should something be done about those? certainly. that is something few people would disagree with. but the actual game servers themselves, seem to be doing well

What about our oce customers are you saying your more Important then them? Sounds pretty entitled to me.

Yes, the current playerbase is more important than potential future playerbase. The current playerbase is currently paying now and not getting access to the content they paid for. There won't be a potential future playerbase if they see that the current playerbase is not getting access to the content they paid for.

except those players in the OCE are not POTENTIAL. they are already players, and have been playing trans pacific for years because many of them log into NA servers.

its comments like that, where you actively ignore other parts of the CURRENT player base that makes you look bad. saying you are more important than other CURRENT players who pay just like you do... what makes you so special exactly?

:yawns: how will the future OCE server help the CURRENT OCE players that are not able to play right now due to lack of servers?

It's comments like this that make you look bad since it looks like you either are not able to understand what you are reading, or purposedfully choose to be obtuse to troll.

*smiles* how cute.

I guess you missed the main reasons the OCE servers were not up and running already.

I guess you are missing information that was given out, many times, or simply choosing to ignore it, either way, it is definitely a comprehension issue. have a nice day.

How many people would be willing to move to another data center o world? So many of us are invested in our worlds - our friends are here, our FCs are here, those who have houses don't want to give them up. Many of the streamers joined worlds they already knew people were playing that they could play with so gravitated to certain worlds. Some of the influx of the newer players would have diverted to the new data centers, of course, but many wanted to join specific worlds to play with people they knew already played. Not to mention the fact that even if they had chosen to use the servers bought for the OCE data center for EU/US, they still would have had the issues they ran into in getting OCE set up. The installation teams still wouldn't have been able to travel. Squeenix would have had to lease space for the new data centers, or hope the existing server housing was big enough to add more.

Travel was much more open for business between Japan and USA. Not ideal, but who knows when it will ever be. And if SE says it wasn't possible they are lying. Business travel has happened for many people. Again some shitty hoops to jump through. But that might be the cost of doing business going forward.



The question would be more logistically could they have moved them from OCE to USA. Also it does show that SE can get hardware, they just have to wait. They predicted poorly and now the player base suffers. It is the same for other industries as well though, companies predicted poorly and are unable to provide a decent product. The customers have to live with it. It just shows until they had actual people playing, someone at SE did not believe in the growth potential of 14.

That's like saying " Why you aint got a PS5 bro? I got one. It's EASY to find one." Covid and whatnot is a thing.. that fucked EVERYONE.
