We all should have been Japanese

[Iceman826]

If we had been, we'd be on a fixed server and going to the next quest. SE please notice that Japan is not the only country that plays this game.

We need fixes here too.

This is no longer an issue on EU servers. It's just NA servers.

Specifically the data center with Balmung and Gilgamesh. I think the other data center is fine.

THERE WAS NO FIX. It's just data center population! Why can people not accept this?? Aether is overpopulated. That's all.

Primal? Nope. Barely anyone getting past the MSQ instances on Primal either.

It took me 2 days to get by both. Got lucky though...many others still stuck spamming the NPCs.

OK... well what did we do to deserve this? If you have a solution that fixes smaller servers, what cant that be applied to larger ones?

I think on the EU servers at least, it's just congestion died down. I'm guessing that's what it is at least...

(E.G. I logged on this morning to a 0 person queue on Odin, one of the most populous EU servers)

Transfer to a low-mid populated server that don't share the datacenter with Balmung

I apparently have been corrected. Primal supposedly isn't any better.

As to why you "deserved" it... sorry if this sounds harsh, but you chose to play on the most overpopulated server of all servers. There's a certain amount of "problem" expectation that comes with that. Any problem that occurs is going to be 10x worse.

As for one thing that helped alleviate it somewhat, people lined up and didn't spam the NPC on the JP servers. Someone said they tried that on Balmung, but then it went back to chaos after people got impatient.

All the spam from hundreds or even thousands of players all spamming one NPC just makes it worse.

That's not the solution. I shouldn't have to abandon all my friends to solve an issue SE should have been aware of and figured out 6 months ago.
