Thread: Can Square Enix handle the influx? Raubahn 2.0 in EW early access incoming...

New character creation is basically impossible in the entirety of NA during weekend primetime, which I know will attract fanboys of the game to deflect that "tHeY CaN jUSt MaKE a New ChARaCteR dUriNG ofF-PeAk hOURs", conveniently sidestepping the elephant in the room that this is a very bad first impression for new players. Free trial characters are also struggling to actually log into NA servers because of the congestion.

Yoshi P suggested that any expansion of the server infrastructure will probably not come before Endwalker. They might very well do it at the same time as Oceania DC launch, but that is no respite for the coming storm - Endwalker early access. Will we see Raubahn 2.0? It might not be a solo instance shenanigan this time round, since they've changed that system. But other issues might crop up, who knows. Get ready to get your shovels ready for you'll be mining a lot of salt in November.

As long as they keep things the way they are currently ingame, no they can't handle the influx. I'm already seeing this appear again more and more ever since the game started to pick up traction with popular streamers. which at the rate it's going it's only going to get worse and worse man.



If you ask me they really gotta revert back to how it was like in 1.0. instead of how it's like now with everything cut-up into like 2-6 separate instances including major cities.
