Instance servers down

[Conando]

We are, I mean the Aether data center is messed up. Now I can't actually even talk to any npcs.

[Hanz]

Cerberus on Chaos DC is having issues accessing the duty finder as well. Not being locked out but queues are appearing even for fully formed parties. (15 mins for the last one)

[Elizar_Naki]

Faerie player here. Been waiting collectively over an hour to get into PotD. For some reason, a few guildies were able to get into Baelsar just fine, though they had a full group while I'm queuing solo for a matched party.

[Muziko]

Welp, even on just Midgarsomr its borked so looks like it might be the full Data Center then.

[Muziko]

Can confirm with a full cross server team that I can not get into DF for the final story dungeon.

[Conando]

Yeah, I mean when it's an issue on Mateus of all places (my server), it's gotta be the whole data center.

[Lunari4]

Duty Finder and instances are broken for me as well. Goblin of the Aether.

Well, we have official word:

Due to the heavy congestion, we are currently experiencing issues wherein players are unable to enter instanced content on the Aether Data Center.
We are working to address the issue and apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing.

What I never understood was why did not just move either Balmung or Gilgamesh to the other NA data center. This way, the instance servers would not be so congested.
