[Update Details]
◆FINAL FANTASY XIV Hotfixes (April 24, 2019)◆

■Laid the groundwork for addressing the issue concerning the World Visit System.

Shortly after the introduction of the World Visit System in Patch 4.57, issues were occurring with several Worlds, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused to our players.

These issues were a result of congestion from many World visits occurring during login rushes, which caused high server load on the database server.

Now that we have been able to gather information from past World visit system usage, we can somewhat predict the amount of load caused on the servers, which we will monitor, and plan to control congestion as necessary by taking steps such as limiting the number of visits during peak hours.

We will continue to monitor the situation and put in our full efforts to ensure an enjoyable gaming experience for our players.
