Aether Data Center Down

[Fendred]

Dunno about everyone else, but as much as I love balmung and my guild, I'm hopping ship. With the welcome back campaign starting in two days this will go on well into a month, this is practically the beginning of the end. I really don't care about in game money, I'm losing real world money when I can't even log on with my sub and don't even have the ability to play anymore. If I have to switch to a different world so be it.

I think many are thinking hard about a server transfer at this point.

Same here~ guess i'll have to join EU servers & sadly not Primal data center since it has issues too! while JP data centers had no issues at all

White Knights keep it up & enjoy being a masochist...

I've seen way too much White Knighting in *THAT OTHER POPULAR MMORPG* and I was REALLY hoping coming here would change that. Nope.

Funny thing is, NA servers have Launch Day congestion issues, while the 3 Japanese Datacenters are all humming along at 110% efficiency. THANKS SQUEENIX <3

Japanese expected work ethic is the difference I'm sure. It's not like they staff the Canadian data centers with the same people that staff the Japanese centers.

I think in this case it has far less to do with work ethic, and far more to do with the fact SE has two data centers for a continent with over 400 million inhabitants while they have three data centers for their home country and surrounding regions that contain less than half North America's populace.

No seriously, this. We're not any more populated than the JP servers are, and yet I don't see those servers having trouble.
Epiphany: Error Code 2002 refers to the fact that NA/EU are running on server hardware from 2002. Genius!

[DelphinePryde]

Just started getting that 5006 error, myself. I don't understand why I have to sign back into Square Enix each time it happens, can't they have a remember me/stay logged in button for the PS3. Ugh...all my plants are going to die. /cry

[DawgPilez]

Love paying a game I can't play =/

2 days straight, and all I'm going to get is a "we're sorry for your inconvenience."

Take my money?....

[R-Kine]

They should split the big population servers across multiple data centers.

[CallenDor]

I'd just like to know why Japan never has these issues. They have 3 servers not 2 and 90% of their worlds are not under character creation restrictions. Maybe SE needs to open another data center for NA and EU.
