    I hope SE learns a few lessons from this.

    First and foremost, upgrade your god forsaken servers. This is 2017. Many MMOs have smooth launches now, thanks to mega capacity servers. We are tired of hearing congestion and bandwidth issues. And whatever happened to retainer storage increase? We have hundreds of new items (crafting mats, glamour, etc) and you expect us to take care of that with 40 new inventory slots? Come on.

    Second, please get rid of solo instances. Clearly you can't afford to run them and quite frankly, they are not anything special. You just fight a few mobs everytime, which you can easily place in open world.

    Last but not least, I hope you have learned that locking literally everything behind MSQ isn't a good idea after all. Now people can't proceed with other zones, sidequests, aether currents or any dungeon unlocks. It's ridiculous that 95% of this expansion is still locked. And thanks to your obsession with MSQ, the endgame will be lacking again, but that's a whole another essay to write. It's an unpleasant journey and an unpleasant destination. Expansions are supposed to be new beginnings, pleasant ones.

    Yes it will, however offering the bonus of early play for pre-sale then delivering an unplayable mess is not good business practice.

    I tend to agree, but we did pay early to access early, and access should include the entirety of the game. Your point is still valid though, it's certainly not the end of the world and we should have a tiny bit of patience.

    Once early access is over then have all ones that didn't pre order doing all the stormblood quests and then it be back to how it is today.

    They did, the issue is that we are experiencing an extreme (and very temporary) load, extra servers would be a waste of resources.

    WoW is literally the only one I can think of, and this game doesn't have the resources that WoW has. Even then, every WoW expansion except legion experienced problems.

    See the first point.


    This is standard for MMO expansions, anyone who thinks that they are entitled to anything, or that this is extreme is woefully naive/uninformed. I didn't take the day off because I anticipated some sort of server stability issue (because that makes sense).

    It's 2017 and there are virtual on demand servers from at least a dozen companies in California alone. You don't need to buy or even rent physical hardware for a short term burst.

    SE is being cheap. That's all. They're making so much money from FFXIV that they're turning greedy and greed is what will be their downfall. They would rather have smaller servers and endure this than overspend for big servers. The thing is they will lose money from people who are turned off by this and unsub.

    Actually Sir, neither world of tanks nor world or warships, nor armored warfare have had this problem in years. Mond you, we're taling about only perhaps four million people per game, but, there you go.. Adding to the list is Mabinogi which hasnt had these types of issues in at least seven years, and that game is managed by Nexon..
