Petition to Lift Balmung Server Lock / Impact of Server Lock on FFXIV RP Community

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Yeah, it's called logging onto the stable server and encountering no issues. Give it a shot sometime.

But, goodness, I forgot that we - lowly consumers - could never, possibly question SE, and that SE has never, ever made any sort of organizational mistakes or errors in the development of this second reiteration of an MMORPG.

Did you not play, at ALL during 4.0's launch? 4k in queue, 2-3 hours to get onto the server? Man, what selective memory we have.

I'm pretty sure I have a better idea of how stable the server was, considering that I was on it 7 years.

Implementing an auto-AFK kick fixed the queues within days. Server locks were ineffective. Server creation policy should not live in the past. There is no evidence of server instability issues at the present time, and we're years away from another expansion that could potentially cause similar issues (which will likely be fixed next time around by implementing an auto-AFK kick and other less restrict measures).
