Dear Square-Enix. Please preemptively stabilize servers.

[Hieral]

A request that I'm sure a lot of people feeling the hype will agree with:

Please have the servers ready for mass logins during both the early release and formal release timeframe. A lot of us would like to actually play the game instead of spending 2 hours attempting to login.

Please be ready!

[Nutz]

Here here! Please anticipate that everyone who preordered will be logging on simultaneously when early access starts! That way you'll more than cover the 95% of people who preordered and will be logging on right away (the other 5% probably can't get out of work )

[Hieral]

I just think the lull in the logins due to several months of no content is going to cause an overlook of how many people will actually play. Pretty easy to figure out.

Considering what happened at the launch of ARR, I'm entirely positive that they've thought of this and done/are going to do something about it.

[papichulo123]

what happened at laugh of arr???

[Musashidon]

there is nothing they can do.

when every user tries to get on at the same time problems are going to happen.

it's happens every single time to every single game.

They could always do it like Rift.

Day 1: Grind to level cap
Day 2: Grind raid requirements
Day 3: Server crash
Day 4: Server still down
Day 5: Rollback to before the expansion

Oh. I loved their forums during that period.

The only reason I wouldn't be logging in during first waves of player logins.
Or the second waves.
Maybe on the third waves.

But until June is over, I won't be touching that login button.

Well presumably they know exactly how many people to prepare for because all those people registered for early access. So they should be totally prepared for this and there'll be no issues whatsoever accommodating all of them. Also I shall fly to the Moon now.

Wow.. That's ... that's just ... wow. I got nothin.

That's something special right there.

I have a feeling it's going to be like Walmart on Black Friday.
