Q1: After the patch went live, the instances were congested which made it very difficult to participate. Are you considering plans to move the instanced battles to the end of the quest line, or any counter-measures to mitigate the congestion?

A1: We apologize that we had to undergo emergency maintenance on the day of the patch release.

We encountered a similar issue previously which led to the same congestion issue occuring during quest instanced battles. We had measures in place for it; however, a human error occurred as well that caused the issue.

As we would like for many people to enjoy the story, we made adjustments and worked up until the very last minute, but it’s very important to be able for everyone to play it, so we’ll be sure to carefully balance this moving forward.

The structure of the main scenario quest is tied in with the flow of the scenario, so we can’t always move the instanced battles towards the end, but we will continue to make measures for the congestion.
