Undo what has been done - split servers up.

[Altena]

Ok guys, let's be reasonable here. A server merge was possibly the worst idea so far. Due to this merge we are experiencing bottlenecks in high traffic areas that everyone (including SE) are aware of - that is Ul'dah, Gridania Garuda/Ifrit/Moogle quest NPC, and now (for obvious reasons) the Garuda fight entrance by Camp Dragonhead.

I won't be the first one to say this but let's face it - the servers aren't handling this. I know it would be nearly impossible to "split" a server as such but can we possibly have an extra 2-3 servers created with the option to move to them for free? That is just one solution of many but I mean this is getting beyond ridiculous.

I would rather a slightly less populated server then a laggy, buggy, crashy server any day.

What brought this up? Well I, like others have been experiencing crashes for the previous 2-3 hours since the emergency maintanence, with the inability to log back on. I continually get the error message "An error has occured on the game server" when I attempt to - if that error doesn't come up then I recieve the "High traffic error" and that my login has been placed in a que. 10 minutes later that message goes away with the original "game server" error once more.

This is extremely frustrating. Please "split" the merged servers up.....

how about bite me. leaving the crap hole known as palamecia and getting a larger server was the best thing to happen to 14.

besides theres already a thread up about this

The mergers where made as one of the many preparations leading to 2.0 and NEW servers tard.

NO THANKS

why dont you GTFO OUT ULDAH XD

[GinTama]

So basically, what we are all in agreement with is that they done the whole thing backwards. Servers that can handle the load first, then merge. Basic logic surely?

whew, Ridill must've been populated. It didn't even merge and has mad.traffic it seems.

isnt this a good thing?

[Doho]

NO. DON'T SPLIT UP. Reason... i sense something wonderful happening.. yes, things are laggy as hell. but when i logged in this morning, something magical happened... there were actualy people in Gridania, crafting... running about.. and it felt.. good. alive even.

Indeed, 'mad traffic' equates to money. What I don't understand, is that handling high loads, and the ability to do so, is almost entirely fundamental. How on earth do SE expect a higher player pool, when they can't even cope with what they have. We all want a busy, crowded and lively playing experience as does SE. How about provide the hardware.
