Sounds like Dell or whoever makes their servers promised them an August delivery and then just didn't have the equipment ready.

Not really surprising. At my work everything we try to order for servers or switches are on long backorders.

which is a good and bad thing for square since typically when hardware isn't able to be delivered -- especially large orders such as servers and hardware meant for data centres -- they typically give something to apologize for the delay and/or make it slightly cheaper.

dunno if it would offset any potential losses for players sick of waiting in queues just to log in every night but august to nov isn't that big of a gap in terms of how long each expansion goes on for.

Not unexpected. Also not really a big deal, NA has been fine for a while now. I think the highest queue I've seen recently on Aether has been 30.

Yeah I was wondering the other night if we really needed a totally new DC and 8 worlds. Then again they might be future proofing themselves for next xpac at which time it could get ugly again.

I wouldn't really count on that lol.

the short queues we have is not because the servers are full they are there to stabilize the servers more

Strangely enough, I seem never to have issues (more or less) ordering new Ubiquiti equipment. Not that it compares to server equipment a DC will use but still need dem little semiconductors.
But on that note, It's quite long delivery of order cars nowadays. First-world problems I guess.

This will only affect the next expansion for those servers. SE, your location is still bad for east coast player in NA. Give us east coast servers for near future if you want profit.I'm not recommended this game for peeps in real life due the frustration I'm dealing with the game and meanwhile, other games have the options. World Of Warcraft and Lost Ark have it why not Final Fantasy 14. This game is a solid Multiplayer and it making the money. I just don't understand they won't do it even it cost few millions to make triple profit.
