Auto log off does not work, 2400 queue to enter after going down. Upgrade servers!

[Furiea]

And yet there was never an issue of this sheer magnitude with the release of HW back on the old servers. So there's no way they upgraded the servers much if at all.

Honestly there's no reason they can't afford a proper bigger server upgrade given all the money they were taking under the table for so many years to transfer into Balmung even though it was supposed to be a closed server. They could have prevented the problem from growing so huge if they had actually really closed server transfers to Balmung long ago. Since the World Transfer Service page had said for a long time that "Characters cannot be transferred to a World which has already reached the limit for character creation.". Yet despite that SE more than happily accepted money under the table from people wanting to transfer in for years. Thus SE's rampant greed and refusal to address the core issue of overpopulation sooner lead to the state Balmung is in now.

Because this is the way it is now.
Because they don't want to.
Because you guys brought this upon yourself.
Because you knew Balmung was supposedly closed but did it anyway simply because you could.. now it blew up in your own face.

blaming the cop for not stopping you from speeding is just lame.
