HUGE CONNECTION PROBLEM

[Tusembobel]

If someone of SE employees is watching this - I'm so tired of your problems.. I want my money back.. And I want good old Squaresoft back, which was always equal OUTSTANDING quality.

Leviathan. 90k from halitali hm. Went through this yesterday, thought they fixed it. Ya know, i read the comments. They said "We are monitoring the network traffic.......". What the hell good does that do? Your servers cant handle the load? Upgrade them! You have a good game SE, people want to play it. More and more come everyday. I have played WoW and Eve online, i cant say that i have exp this with those to this level. Maybe its time to stop patching the software for a bit and start accomodating higher loads on your hardware. 5000 ppl per world at one time is clearly not enough, and even then, the lobby servers you route through cant even handle the traffic volume. You must do something, id just as soon go back to eve! Ive been logged on with 30000 ppl at one time there. AT ONE TIME. 30000. It can be done.

wow seriously? Do you have nothing better to do with your life than complain. Seriously? You try being a network engineer and fix this issue. It isn't something to be simply solved with a flick of a switch. All MMO's suffer from this problem. Even W.O.W has this problem from time to time. Be patient and wait for the servers to be back up.

Down again. Balmung server. Don't mind waiting for a problem to be fixed so long as I know it is actively being worked on in a logical manner. However this is ongoing and a case of trying use band aids to reattach a limb: Its not gonna work. See a real doctor.

Speaking of which. WoW just released Warlords of Draenor and they ran into massive log-on queues, server crashes, extremely crowded zones (because they figured that they're just going to send everyone to whatever major city it was designated as which caused huge lag with hundreds of people in the zone at a time) AND they got DDoS'd at the same time. Not a fun day to be a Blizzard employee, that's for sure.

I'm wondering if someone is taking a poke at the SE servers.

Gilgamesh. I had a 90k earlier as I went to grab my weekly hunt mark from the board, followed by the lobby error. After sever failed attempts to get into the game again I waited for a while (about 20 min). Which finally let me get back into the game, it promptly booted me with another 90k followed by lobby error in 5 minutes. This is starting to get annoying especially after the bout of lag/90k's this last weekend.

Honestly I don't blame people for raging. This game has regular maintenance which is supposed to prevent this from happening. One occurrence is understandable, but multiple occurrences is not cool. They bring the game down for emergency maintenance for the smallest of things, but not this? Come on.

[Tusembobel]

U know what? I PAY for this. I have to work, I have limited time to play, and every time I want to play there are tons of problems on SE side.. Why the hell???

[Conando]

This really seems like it can't be a simple server issue. It's happening every night around the same exact time. DDoS?

Seriously, I'm tired of "patiently" waiting for you to fix these errors. We pay for this. For some of us this is our prime time of play during the day. Fix your errors and let us enjoy the game. You shouldn't be having these problems. The excuses that you just have a patch shouldn't be even existent. Test your patch, find your errors, fix them, release the patch. I fully support everyone that is raging and complaining about the errors. Man you guys are competing with the vast amount of Pay-to-Play MMORPGs that are out there. and you're tinkering with one of the GREATEST franchises that have ever existed. For some of the new generation it will just mean a bad game. But for people like myself and more it will mean a crack in the foundation of the history of Final Fantasy that revolutionized my gaming experience. You have alot of pressure on this game. I'd put more effort/pride into making a worth experience for your players.
