Undo what has been done - split servers up.

ITT: Serious jimmies getting rustled over a server crash

"A server crash" on top of the other 2x maintenances and the patch downtime? Hmm so that is 20 hours (assuming ~5hrs each) that the game has been down for - not to mention the random crashes / freezes / inability to login (which has been happening ever since the patch). I am speaking for Ridill here. So basically gameplay has been interrupted for pretty much 2 full days (leading upto weekend when *everyone* is online... well... lets see how that goes).

It is not just one "server crash" it is topped with the frustration of consistent interruption of gameplay.

Show me where in that statement it says "players" or subscribers are in 2.0 servers? Oh wait you can't can you? "we" as in devs you moron. Reading comprehension 101

How can you say something so stupid when its said. Require a reboot? ROFL its hardware, its no different than adding ram to your pc at home, or upgrading your CPU.

The server reboots all the time, ya know WHEN IT CRASHES or during maintenance, im sure we've had plenty of maintenances..

I was beginning to think this forum was getting smarter, then this thread just blew my mind.

They will increase specs over time, as hardware gets better, just like you upgrade your pc over time. The issue is the big jump from 1.0 to 2.0 is SERVER CODE which Yoshi says. I give up trying to explain it, learning the alphabet is harder than this....

Even the patch notes today have fix's that caused server crash lol

forwardslashragemuch? /hug

Holy crap you serious? i even quoted



Everything is to do with the CODE, not the server, or the hardware, it is the Network Code that cannot handle threading properly, like they said. So the congestion is causing the server to flood out. That is 1 reason for the server crashes. The next is bugs, which they fix'd today, that is why you had a patch, IT WAS A CODE issue.

No point trying to tell them, they obviously can't see facts even when the Producer of the game states what they're using

I don't know what your server is like, but Selbina/Ridill has had these issues, for as long as I know. It just so happens that there is a new secondary problem with the release of 1.22 but by no means the route cause.

I've been playing on Ridill/Selbina since launch.. don't see these huge problems you speak of.

Ok guys, let's be reasonable here. A server merge was possibly the worst idea so far. Due to this merge we are experiencing bottlenecks in high traffic areas that everyone (including SE) are aware of - that is Ul'dah, Gridania Garuda/Ifrit/Moogle quest NPC, and now (for obvious reasons) the Garuda fight entrance by Camp Dragonhead.

I won't be the first one to say this but let's face it - the servers aren't handling this. I know it would be nearly impossible to "split" a server as such but can we possibly have an extra 2-3 servers created with the option to move to them for free? That is just one solution of many but I mean this is getting beyond ridiculous.

I would rather a slightly less populated server then a laggy, buggy, crashy server any day.

What brought this up? Well I, like others have been experiencing crashes for the previous 2-3 hours since the emergency maintanence, with the inability to log back on. I continually get the error message "An error has occured on the game server" when I attempt to - if that error doesn't come up then I recieve the "High traffic error" and that my login has been placed in a que. 10 minutes later that message goes away with the original "game server" error once more.

This is extremely frustrating. Please "split" the merged servers up.....

Hahahahahahahahahahaaa...... you crack me up.... lol.....

Meh, it's no problem at all according to Wirritosama, all you have to do is quit...apparently this kind of service is totally normal for an MMO.

Oh right because it doesnt say the exact wording you want to hear, you're in denial lmao. Ok ok ok. I can see exactly where this be going if it continues.

Goodday.

Well apparently you are one of the few. * Jealous*

Ok then guys, if you think Yoshi's post has nothing to do with us being on 2.0 servers now then you tell me wtf does he mean?

ALL you have to do to swap over to newer severs is changed the bloody harddrive RAID over thats it, its a CODE issue not a hardware one, jesus christ
