Response to the Issue

[Macloven]

Did SE ever say anything about the Errors that are occurring right now with Aether Data Centers? or are they going to ignore it? I believe they patched up the centers when ARR launched but that was a while after and considering what they are doing for the Return to the game free play weekend you think they would be on it. So, any word on what they are going to do about it?

Aether has been fine for me all day, short log in queues as well.

there was a dev post stating it was just due to congestion and for us to be patient

Kinda didn't need a dev to say that. Would have liked some move for resolution to the issue.

So far that's it, but tomorrow there's bound to be more.

Greetings,

I'd like to a moment to clarify the errors you're seeing when attempting to log into the Aether data center. These errors are not something to do with a bug, or unexpected problem, on the part of the lobby server or World servers. What you're seeing with these errors is a result of the massive congestion surround Balmung and Gilgamesh (two of the largest NA Worlds), which happen to be on Aether. These two Worlds maintain an almost maximum number of concurrent users because of how large the population is on both of them. The errors you're experiencing are due to the large amount of congestion.

While the Development and Operations teams are working to ensure that the servers are stable and doing everything they can to avoid downtime, unfortunately, this issue a result of the large populations being housed on the Aether data center.

We truly apologize for the frustration experienced and ask for your patience and understanding.

Just this.

so can they move the server to a lesser dense data center?

[ErzaScarlet77]

dammit.
why did they have to put both Balmung and GILG on the same data center?

Were they crowded when they first made them?

Was asking if congestion from ppl using same server as from 1.0 or ppl came later and made it congested.

That makes zero sense lol
