Aether Data Center Down

[Aleisterz]

They really need to put Gilgamesh and Balmung in different data centers or offer free server transfers or something to reduce this congestion. This is scary haha. O_< I mean just look at this! Also my signature. Me giving you the look SE!

That's a pretty neat torn page icon there..

edit: that just fixed itself...

This is EXTREMELY TYPICAL of SE going back as far as the FFXI launch. Their servers used to be so bad you couldn't even connect to update the client and when you did magically start the download it took hours upon hours. They'll invest the absolute minimum to maintain subscribers. This data center congestion is a real problem though. People are paying for a service and are unable to use it. They need some good old fashioned Reddit shaming. Maybe a catchy hashtag.

I'm tired of constantly re-launching when I get booted from trying to connect to Aether.

Probably best to just take a break from the game for a couple weeks and wait for this to die down.

Can't blame you. SE should take note of people with that attitude also. How many of those people who take a break waiting for it to calm down wind up doing something else all together?

Oh goodness. I logged out to take a shower and now the 2002s are happening all over again. I dread when the game becomes even more congested on Tuesday.

I wouldn't mind if I didn't have to keep entering in my passwords over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Aether is overpopulated. They need to implement free server transfers to start shedding the load onto the Primal data center. There is no point to them provisioning if they cannot equalize the load across the systems being provisioned.

People won't voluntarily leave the servers because of gil transfer cap. They need to just shut down both data centers and take the least populated server on Primal and move it to Aether and either move Balmung or Gilgamesh as a whole to Primal in its place.
