Constantly 'reserving server'

[JunseiKei]

Yea because i could see FFXIV failing because SE added some more temporary servers to house the increased player count when releasing new content. If you say so. Add new servers and data centers down the line? But not when releasing new content that is going to bring the dwindling player base back? C'mon. Don't be an overzealous fanboy. Be realistic. Adding temp servers wouldn't have hurt them even a little. Besides, its all irrelevant because like i said, the biggest issue is the lack of response. Feel free to continue beating a dead horse and defending a company that's taking your money for content you can't even play though.

Again.. would be nice to get some sort of response, devs...

I had even said in my original post that "usually reserving instance meant the servers were full." Considering they pulled the game down to address an issue, it appears that wasn't even the issue.

I'm not defending the company nor am I a fanboy, just observant. I'm stating business mistakes that been repeated by other companies that contributed to their failings to taking on additional costs (you can check out this channel's "Death of a Game" for a start in looking into this yourself; you'd be surprised how often 'additional servers to offset player influx' comes up). I already said this was getting addressed anyway with the additional datacenter and world shuffling, making it even less of a reason to add servers now, had it been instances being full.

I can't say Eureka would bring back players, given the impression I have from many that 'Eureka sucks' and that was the apparent draw this patch.

There's no reason to resort to name calling simply because you're upset and want a solution now. Be civil. Just remember, you're speaking out of anger about a company you are willfully giving money to for a membership to play their game. Also, I was busy playing the game because, well, I simply wasn't experiencing these issues.
