Dear Square-Enix. Please preemptively stabilize servers.

I am gonna spend all day looking at the 90k messages. I'm prepared it will happen so its not gonna upset me.
I don't think they can do anything about it because this happens to every game when they launch.

Yeah pretty much but SE have made major improvements to the servers since 2.0. The servers are generally fairly stable. Even with all that effort we will still probably see some issues, it just won't be disastrous like some people claim.

Dunno dude, WOD release for WOW was pretty bad, blizzard had to reduce the amount of active players per server to retain stability because so many people tried to log in at the same time, FF14 is in my opinion the 2nd most subbed mmo and a good one at that, its gonna be popular, expansion releases are pretty big for advertisement in it self considering how many people have been shot pretty hard by the recent mmo releases like Wildstar and ESO, FF14 has been a good mmo to turn to from there if people did not want to try WOW.

WoDs problem is that Blizzard downsized, chopped and merged hundreds of low pop servers after the mass exodus of Subs during Mists of No-Content-at-all.

Then, when all those subs came back ... Well, we all saw the result.

XIV has actually done the exact opposite, server capacity is better now than it was at launch. So as i said earlier, Zero Hour instability, then smooth sailing. I'm not worried either way. Ill get to play when i get to play.
