Constantly 'reserving server'

Expect 6.0 will be about bots taking over the world. Where everyone has to join together to stop the bot invasion.

Is that how the Nier raid will make sense? Sorry couldn't help it.

It's funny, because I joked that the UFO-looking NM is how Yoko Taro made it to this game's world.

On a separate note, I hate Eureka as much as many of you are quite aware, and I was actually thinking of dipping my toes into Pyros today since I can't seem to get another clear or farm group for Seiryu Ex (not without playing on a job I'm not quite as handy with, or geared). Then this instance server thing happens. lol

The servers can't handle all those refugees apparently.

I'm going to take a guess that the "high demand for large-scale instances" might gum up the whole thing if it attempts to reserve a server for one of those instances and can't find space.

Suppose the "instance allocator" works strictly on a first-come-first-served basis. There's a new Eureka instance that needs space - and until there IS space, nobody else gets in. Combine that with it maybe not being too smart about "this is too big to actually fit" (not having been designed to handle such large groups) and it might be waiting until enough other instances complete and close down to make that space available.

Meanwhile, everything else that should have gone through is queuing up behind it.

It's just hypothetical, but it might explain why not even smaller groups and solo instances can get in.
