CONGRATULATIONS SQUARE!!! <3<3<3

Why are we congratulating corporations again?

Because inside that big monster there are humans who did a great job?

I may have some issues with this expac(namely Scholar) but you have got to give them credit where it's due. They listened to the issues Stormblood had and completely fixed them! No solo instance bottlenecks right at the beginning of the expansion, an entirely new solo instance queueing system, seemingly updated and better secured servers. I am insanely impressed as I play on the biggest server on Aether.

Amazing work guys, keep it up.

Why are we congratulating corporations again?

Because why not?

This is my first time being around for an expansion launch for this game, and with the way people were talking I was fully expecting to not even be able to get into the game for days or for it to take hours to get in. So far it’s been great though. All aether worlds are supposedly congested, but the only time I’ve hit a queue today was a bit ago when lots of people got booted, and then I’d say I was back on in under 10 minutes. I’d say one instance like that so far isn’t bad at all.

Not sure how many people pre-ordered for early access. I'm hoping it's as smooth on actual release date (July 2nd). That said, I would congratulate them anyway as they are kicking butt no matter what. Server hiccups on release dates are normal. (as are DDoSes now it seems).

The launch is running a lot smoother than I expected . Didn’t think I would be able to do half of the content I did today, so thank you SE!

I just want to bump this to give my thanks to the Dev team as well! There's just far too much negativity out there at the moment but I just know that the dev team is constantly working in the shadows bringing change (good or bad) to this game that we need! Folks Hrothgar and Vieras are finally appearing on the Lodestone and they are already addressing Mogstatiion issues by taking it down for maintenance tomorrow. No matter how you may feel thus far, you have to give SE credit where it's due, they are definitely working behind the scenes and just not saying anything about it. Even though this is early access and the true test will be once the expansion drops I have had no issues queuing for anything thus far and logging in has been just like usual. Keep up the good work Yoshi and team!

Thank you SE and Yoshi P for shadowbringers and viera and the amazing dancer. Also thank you for making dancer so amazing that in all the time I have been playing ffxiv which has been since the launch of arr. I can finally say I have a main job and that is dancer.

Early Access is not launch. Some of us still aren't playing ShB yet. ...because we never got our email with the necessary code. SQEnix is the only MMO dev I've ever encountered where the player has to do the work of properly registering their preorder of the expansion. Everyone else, that's handled automatically by the system, regardless of where you bought and play the game through.
