Data center travel suspended

[NekoMataMata]

I doubt anyone could predict 15,000 requests per minute....Honestly that's just mind boggling and I can't really understand why so many people want to hop data centers so badly like that outside of maybe the OCE players.

If I'm being honest, I think they might've actually predicted it.

Every time this game has a big release, something like this happens. The hype is unreal. If anything, chances are they're not going to do anything and hope the hype dies down to what they consider normal levels, rather than bother prepping for what they see as a one time adjustment.

That's all fine to me as well, but at least let people travel back to their home datacenter.

The Issue will fade once the Novelty wears off in a day or two. they're not going to lift a finger for a self-fixing problem or you can ask the community to stop DDoSing the system.

The system is suspended until further notice, so it wont just "wear off"

I mean it will, they only turned it off to stop people clicking the button. it will be turned back on soon.

I mean I'm not defending them in any way or form. I'm just saying, I feel like there's a good chance they knew this would happen and that they feel like it's going to fix itself on its own.

It's not right, but this is their usual mode of operation sadly.

tbf what could they of done not release it? There is no point in building a system that could handle 15k requests a minute when in normal use it wouldn't see numbers that high. just need to wait for the player base to get the novelty out of their system anything breaks when you push it past its limits.

Better to have something that can handle it than not at all.

for like a day or two? now they've got a lot of unneeded capacity costing them money.

And?
If it's them burning money or having peoples chars literally stuck on other DCs for an unknown amount of time, I'd go with the first option.
