seriously?? official launch of heavensward was yesterday so naturally congestion is high... just consider yourself lucky you didnt play during ARR launch that was horrible.. 2 weeks majority of people couldnt play or even get passed the log in screen every game after releases an expansion experiences higher then usual traffic due to every1 wanting to try new content etc... wait a week n will ease up abit :3

I've been playing all day, not a connection error in site. I disconnected from a dungeon once though but didn't have any trouble getting back in and it never happened again...

Are people really having connection trouble?

[Evangela]

I'm on the same server as TC and I can play everyday since early access, along with tons of players everywhere I go in the game. so it's clearly playable.

This is what you get by trying to make a character in the most crowded server that is always locked. Not SE fault. If you have friends is one thing but if not you could have went to other server. Plus with expansion many returning players will log and make things worse for that server.

As for me only got 2 error 90002 followed by the lobby error, beside that was super smooth and a lot better compared to 2.0 launch.

Oooookaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Server capacity is SE's fault, but it's the player's fault for EVERYONE insisting on playing Balmung, yes I'm part of the problem too, but I had 1.0 friends that had their characters put there, and I joined during beta of ARR without knowing how populated Balmung would be. I started an FC on day 1 of them being implemented into ARR, and have an FC cottage and private house. At this point though, if there were some incentives for established FC's to transfer to a lower pop house, most of the people in my FC would gladly take advantage of it.

That being said though, I'm on the same server as the TC, and aside from the occasional 90002 error, and a login queue, there has been absolutely zero trouble logging in.

This. SE needs to implement a FC move system. At the moment moving servers just means losing a lot of gil, personal houses, FC house and everything tied to it.

This as well. I had trouble logging in on the first hour of the first day of early access, and after that I've gotten a DC twice and experienced logging issues twice. But I can't say there's been any major issues with the servers, in fact I've been suprised about how smooth everything has been.

IKR... After two years, you'd think that (with all the money made from this game) that SE could afford putting in special high-capacity server blocks to accommodate the demands of their highest populated servers, right?

That said tho, from what I gathered from the OP, it sounds as though s/he is pretty new. Which in a way is a silver lining - cuz there's very little progress made, and so, very little progress lost, right? I was very much in the same boat when I first started. I picked a high pop server (cuz I liked the name ), and soon found out that I just couldn't log in. Or I had to wait forever, or I had error codes, or...w/e ... I had problems. So, I said, "ef this - I'm going to the lowest pop server that I could find". And so I did, and I rarely have any problems -- no RMT, can always log in, no error codes, no character restrictions. Just smooth sailing.

Increasing the capacity of ONE server is just going to encourage more people to create a character on that server. Eventually the server will have capacity troubles again and you guys are going to demand a capacity increase again and if SE relents yet again the cycle will just keep looping. It defeats the entire point of having multiple servers.

The server issues will pass. It was better last night then it has been since EA started. Most nights it took about an hour to get to character select, then wait for 30 minutes in queue that stays at the same number until the last 5 minutes or so then it says the queue size is 1. As to upgrading the servers, SE has no need to do it, once the initial "glow" of the expansion wears off, everything will return to normal.
