Gold Saucer is congested? Seriously?

[Parodine]

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.

The hilarious part is people are constantly demanding that Balmung be open to character creation and then you get this congestion. Do people understand why, yet?

I've been thinking this for a year or so....

On the Gold Saucer: I havent unlocked it, dont have to time until tomorow due to work, but I'm not surprised it congested as its launch day much like PvP was first few days.
And I think the AFK timer should be brought back anyway for open world and GS, to many people just ideling everywhere wasting resources :/

This has crossed my mind too. A lot of people QQ to have the HIGHEST populated servers open to character creation 247, then they turn around and complain about this.

AFK Boot, problem solved

Apparently the people logging out in the GS are having issues logging back in.

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.....

Awesome, this means that hunts will be much less zerg-fest like and it might be possible for DPS to be listed as the class in-need in Duty Finder!

This ^ x 100
It really was hard to finish and get my Yoichi bow when all were hunting and df times were always 30+ minutes, even Expert Roulette was over 30.

I've not logged in since patch yet, is the whole thing a single zone..? It seems like it should be two zones at least.

It's two zones; the chocobo racing is in a separate map and currently everyone in there is trapped there on Phoenix because they can't get back into the main complex due to congestion...

It's a single zone. Chocobo Races are instanced.

As much as I understand server issues I have to agree that when something is paid for it should be available. It's like saying congrats you bought a car but you can't drive it.

Not really, it's more like saying "Congratulations, you bought a car, but so did 2 million other people who are all trying to leave the dealership also, they all pay taxes for the roads they drive on, but congestion happens due to a large, but ultimately variable demand."
