Please Update Server Status - Way Too Many "Congested" NA Servers

[Mhaeric]

Fun Fact - a bot operator can't create new characters on congested worlds any more than actual players can. If bots were the true cause of congestion, congested worlds would very quickly lose their congested status as the existing bots get banned (see the weekly notice).

Balmung was completely bot-free for years because of this. No gil selling tells or shouts, no packs of teleporting black mages and/or archers, no DoL gathering from inside the terrain, etc. As soon as character creation was opened up after the big data centre reshuffling, the bots came flooding in.
