I'm super disappointed that I can't even get into Gold Saucer right now. It keeps saying the area you are trying is currently congested. Please try again later. I'd rather just log off.....

Not their fault that 5k+ people are all trying to access the area at once lol.
It can only hold so much. Would you rather them limit it and people be able to actually do things? Or not limited and watch it crash every 5 minutes from to much happening. Then even more people would be complaining lol
Well yes it is their fault. The patch content is mostly that so you would expect most people to flock to it. The game uses instanced areas so they should have the 'technology' to spawn a new instance of the zone when needed. Poor planning. it's similar to the queuing at launch.Not their fault that 5k+ people are all trying to access the area at once lol.

SE utilized it in 1.0 and it was horrible because you couldn't see more than 30 or so retainers at once in the market ward. It was creepy as heck for them to fade in and out as you walked down the hallway.
The maximum a zone could handle in FFXI was 700 or so. It's got to be at least that much in XIV.
A graphical render limit has absolutely nothing to do with phasing or sharding. It also has absolutely nothing to do with server load and congestion.
video games are bad
You know. A thing called instancing exists.Not their fault that 5k+ people are all trying to access the area at once lol.

Point of Interest, the Chocobo area is a separate instance, and you can get stuck in there without any teleport options set. However there is no way to teleport directly into the Chocobo racing area.Not their fault that 5k+ people are all trying to access the area at once lol.

This was guaranteed to happen at some point. It's brand new content on release day, I logged in for a bit earlier today just to get the quest done and made sure to log out outside of the gold saucer area in case it got this congested before i got back home from work. If I can't get back in this evening, no problem I'll just run other content and wait till the excitement wears down a bit. Shouldn't take long.
Well they could make more than 1 server for the bigger worlds like Balmung.
And yes! I do expect to be able to play content that I pay for monthly exactly when it is released.
