    It will not "even out". It's up to SE to add server capacity. The same people who were willing to sit in Qs of 10k+ are now coming to FF14, you think they mind? These are rookie numbers.

    In 2021, adding servers isn't hard or expensive at all.

    Well, I actually deal with servers on a daily basis. And they are quite expensive. The builds we do regularly cost in the 2-3 million dollar range for smallish sets of servers(lumps of 44), and the accompanying infrastructure.

    They aren't using cloud systems. They have dedicated hardware.

    That's not a lot of money in 2021. You realize SE is raking in like 20 times that per month, right?

    You realize not all of that is profit correct?

    Also, current year means nothing.

    it's 2021 and MMO players who have zero experience with programming and server infrastructure are still arguing with people who do it for their jobs, time is a flat circle.

    I said nothing about programming or server infrastructure.

    I said it's relatively cheap.

    but I guess that's too complex a concept for people like you.
