If the given zone is full then we'll simply get put in an overflow server, much like Guild Wars 2 does.

This answers your entire issue... no worries

Hey, uhh... the game isn't out yet. Put your penises back into your pants, guys. Once we can actually understand the system by playing it in its finished state, then we can start spamming the forums with complaints.

Uh, no. While I agree that you should understand the system first, don't wait until the game is already finished.

The whole point of the beta process is to get the game's problems fixed BEFORE it gets released. FFXIV already wrecked its first chance, so it's already on borrowed time to prove itself and get it right the second time.

So voice your complaints in alpha/beta. Don't wait until the game is released to the public and its already too late.

Problem is the OP isn't voicing his complaint in alpha/beta, he's voicing his complaints before alpha/beta, on an issue he presumes will exist.

I wasn't specifically addressing the OP in that post, I was making a general point.

Why are you trying to find solutions for imaginary issues? 1.0 servers were fail and yet no one ever couldn't enter Uldah because it was full. If this problem didn't exist in 1.0, it certainly wont exist in 2.0.

How can you be so sure ? As from what I've read the only time instances will be formed are for event/raid/dungeons.
The 2 hour Live video showed as they were locked out but because the zone was purposely closed. Still it led to him being locked out and there probably isn't a method to get around to the next zone. Was mostly a suggestion if they have not thought of it.

I myself don't see it being much of a issue with dungeon finder people can go to any zone and sit there wont be need for /sh and with a better buy/sell/bid system for the ward i don't see people /sh to sell or get people for event.

Also i don't see FFXIV having that many players on a giving time to be honest maybe the world only that noob can enter and once everyone quit and go to the next big MMO release or wow get a update which only take 2-3month then they all leave. Seeing how we also going to have JP,EU,NA servers and most endgame ls would be going to there server close to them that = less players per world.
