Aether Data Center and Balmung - an observation from today

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Resident Balmung player here.

It is absolute hell trying to log in during peak times. The housing servers are literally down half the time (aka, people can't get into their houses) because of AFK people hiding inside.

Idfk why no one is looking into this glaring issue. I literally can't wrap my head around it, and the only solution that I'm coming to is that they are letting this continue to further exaggerate the server's limited capacity to try and force people off of the server.

It becomes a networking limitation, not server power. all you need to see this is when you start seeing people DC'ing in heavily populated areas. their connections cant handle it, even with the game culling players.
