Is SE prepared for the Endwalker tsunami?

[ItMe]

Are they ready?

The answer is... they're working on it


Actually, yesterday Yoshi P put out a statement about just this.
He talked about what's causing the log in problem, giving some under the hood insight on the technical side of the problem, and what they're trying to do about it all.

Nice, that's actually pretty quick feedback on the matter given that we're not suffering any real tsunami yet. Normally companies wait till the fire is almost out before saying "oh yeah by the way there was a fire- lmao", here we're at the pre-smoke and we've a post. Thumbs up for that.

As for thread question, the last expansion did very well in handling the influx and influx there was. . . it seems like there might be a bigger one this time (nice job for SE), but giving benefit of the doubt, I think they can manage. Although I'm not sure one should be taking vacation days off just in case the queue times or what have you do pop up to be an issue. It's not like rough launches is a foreign concept for MMOs, it's almost the only way you can have a launch in this genre lol, the fact ShB was so smooth was almost weird to experience .
