New Servers?

[Reyll]

Has there been any mention of them upgrading their servers/databases for Stormblood? I feel like our current servers are running on Pentium II's with such a limited housing system, technical aspects and how often they have been crashing lately. C'mon SE, I know you make more than enough money to give us something better than what feels like hamsters running on a wheel.

Yes, servers are clearly out of date, they are too slow, no reason to be melee lbed from 5 miles away because the servers can't process fast enough that I moved, or the fact something died in 9 seconds, not 11 seconds. I really do not understand why they are so slow when FFXI did not have such problems. Maybe... too much bound by ps3 limitations? maybe they are ps3s themselves? They crash too much, they can't handle patch load... I would like to know this as well.

Chances they probably will. They did for Heavens Ward after so many crashes and they were fast so I'm sure they will be expecting this if I had to guess.

Servers crashed again... 4th time in 3 weeks lol PS3 limitations have nothing to do with it (people love playing this card lol), its on SE's side. Feels like launch day all over again xD Though the serge of new/returning players could be a problem and servers can't handle it. but they are clearly outdated for this to be a continuous problem with this game *sigh*

I doubt its the physical servers themselves and more likely the coding restrictions based on the number of people logged in vs what the code was specced for. You have all these returning players, coming back to already overflowing Balmung And Gilgamesh, and the game just can't cope.

Psxx limitations is a big meme from ffxi, it does not matter if it is literal anymore. pretty soon ill be ps4 limitations. It is just frustrating to hear limitations for this or that when asking for more inventory space.

With as much as they encourage new people to play and try to get returning players to come back, this shouldn't even be an issue. It's been more than 3 years since the launch of A Realm Reborn, yet we are still stuck with a cramped inventory and a myriad of other issues due to "server limitations" or "server stability". I don't know about you, but the money I put into SE and this game really feels like it's not being returned whatsoever. XIV feels like the red-headed stepchild that does backbreaking work and gets scraps in return to just scrape by. These server issues and limitations are kinda' becoming a meme at this point and, to be frank, extremely tiring.

They should offer free world transfers off certain excessively popular worlds; no problems on mine even with my ping since it's not bursting full of half the population of the entire game all in one place.

Just wonder how many would actually move, you can constantly see people paying to get into Balmung.

Honestly, they should just split Balmung and Greg into 2 servers each and move half of the split servers to Primal, then lock them to transfers for awhile. Splitting them would allow for them to add housing to both of the new servers, so people wouldnt lose those.
