Not enough Server Capacity. You need more!

[RemotaySugoi]

It's the second most subbed MMO with numbers going up everyday. How much more money needs to be thrown before you call it "stable"?

WoW expansion launch - no queues
ESO expansion launch - no queues
GW2 expansion launch - no queues

This is the only modern MMO with servers of 1999. It's quite embarrassing.

How can you even compare FFXIV to GW2. GW2 is a good game, but their playerbase numbers are tiny compared to FFXIV. WoW also built out their infrastructure when they had literally millions of subscribers (12m at peak) vs 1 million for FFXIV. Cut Square Enix some slack. I play on Aether and this is one of the smoothest MMO expansion launches i've been through.

You are so right! In fact I called Squares America CEO, and told him to sign a new contract to lease more servers, he said why? I told him "Ferocious" is basically JPMORGAN of the MMO world and dropping cool 500k lease contract for new servers would be EZ FUCKING PZ money.

He said no crud, why didn't he ever think about that. In fact HR has just freed up 1+ million for new hires to maintain all this new equipment . HR said it would be the best 10 year 1 million dollar investment ever and asked who inspired such great business planning?

I said God king himself, one who knows all, infallible I'm his ways, "Ferocious"

They said they wanna poach you from your 10am-2pm job at Macdonalds to make you CFO and CEO at the SAME time.

Since you give out the best, most thought through advice any man has ever seen.

There's no point in increasing it unless the numbers are going to stay stable.

There's a good chunk of people who are just going to play for a month, maybe three months and then the regular, settled population will be what remains.

It happens all the time. No point in spending the extra $$$

I think players who can't log into the game who are actively paying for a subscription should be reason enough to increase the servers. Not only that, but we currently have more congested worlds then not.

I'm skeptical of these amazingly full ques... new expansion or not.

Was @ 290 for about 2 minutes then down to 7 for over 5 minutes. Rather odd.

They can't find my alt on Gilgamesh.

Honestly kinda suspect they may have throttled down the max capacity to reduce strain.

I think SE needs to give a free 30 days actually in my opinion my cousin's nephew bought game with 30 day free hasn't been able to play because of congestion or create a character in same place so he got locked out.

People paid for expansions to get in early can't even get in the game they have work and stuck in a 1000+ queque also the fact is I went to the store to get into the game for 2 hours came back at 1000 queque and it was at 5.

I waited 2 hours to get into the game that is terrible especially when you are paying day by day and it doesn't equal what you are paying for a monthly subscription so if I miss out on 2-3 days cause of que que I am not getting what I paid for.

Cousins wife she gives up because she works and by the time the queque ends she has to go to bed for work now that is jacked up.

The loss of 2 to 3 days (which is suspect since honestly this has been one of the smoothest launches) does not equal 30 days of game time.

Sure it does, cause it was only a example, you figure I am missing out on hours every 2-3 days I can log on and then 2 weekends when its free sitting there for 2 hours sometimes less to get into the server only to dc with a 2002 and giving up till later the night only to get a few hours on a whole day I missed then weekend work and those 2 hours can't get in congested if I am lucky I can play a few hours more.

please don't try to soften the problem. its not just me people who actually bought the game cannot get into the servers they want and they get 30 days free what you going to tell them sorry your just out of luck.

thanks for the support but too bad? lol you make me laugh.
