Aether Datacenter is refusing connections

Connection for either says Poor. Connection to every other data center says Excellent. I get down to 1 in the queue and still can't get in. You guys really screwed us. I agree with the above poster. You knew how many preorders you sold, so this whole We couldn't predict this is hogwash. You owe us a good experience nd you ruined it by ignoring the problem.

Did North America, both over world server set groups, get server upgrades, like I heard the Europe servers got? Not certain on all of that, could use clarification there. Also heard AFK spam bots are clogging everything in the Aether worlds, thanks to a no afk boot policy.

And does Aether just have far more players, than any other overworld, or we just got that many more afk spammers clogging it all up? Someone is getting in, and setting up camp, like a bunch of Kobolds outside Ul'dah or such, it feels like.

Would like some objective (not emotionally subjective,) answers here, since we're stuck on the outside waiting here.

Starting to feel a bit like the server crashes Star Trek Online is chronic with here. Or at least reminded of it here, forums and all.

Don't think there's any of this available. Judging by the radio silence, Squeenix is plugging their ears until the problem goes away. So here's some more subjective rage to channel into the flames.

I love how rumors like this spawn like opportunistic infection. I'm sure people are working to fix the trouble.

Well, that sucks.

[Grimnebulin]

Same problem here. Can't log in to Aether data center. I can log into other ones. It would be nice to at least have the problem acknowledged so that we know it's being worked on.

I love how they make an update proudly proclaiming they fixed the problem and by all intents it's FUBAR.

I hope a lot of people demands a refund for this quality of service.

Went and did some other things and came back to try it again, was actually hopeful....still can't log in. Wow SE, get better before the next expansion please. You are not good at this whole release thing.
