Server too full?

[Preypacer]

It's a Japanese holiday event. It's a bit like April Fools and they try to see how gullible people are.

In reality "This world is currently experiencing unusually heavy traffic" translates to "we reduced server capacity to save money"

No, more like persistent FFXIV forum troll can't handle seeing something positive happening to the game, so they have to find a way to spin it as a negative.

There's a definite increase in people in-game. Everyone's noticing it.

But trolls will be trolls.

Good lord it must be pathetic being you.
