They knew this was coming and did nothing about it.

I haven't played in 6 year and thought I would come back to the game now that I had more time to play. Apparently the game has other ideas, as even though I paid for the preorder of Endwalker and registered for early access, every time I try to log in I'm in a 3,000+ person queue that takes over half an hour to get into the game. Servers are flooded and they haven't even bothered to make new ones to fix this problem. This is a KNOWN problem that has existed for as long as MMO's have existed and they have learned nothing.


This just in!!! "The lobby connection has encountered an error!:" So I sat in queue for zalera for 20 minutes only for the game to kick me, wow, yea I'm starting to agree with other people demanding a refund for this, this is UNACCEPTABLE!

Regarding congestion during Endwalker's launch

It's kinda laughable they say use the visit another server to try and help with the problem when all of the servers are filled to capacity and they refuse to release any new servers to alleviate this.

Cant release new servers when you dont have the hardware due to ONGOING PANDEMIC AND SUPPLY CHAIN PROBLEMS.

Stop blaming covid for every last problem in the world, it was old a year ago and it's definitely old right now.

Stop blaming this real thing that actually is affecting multiple industries because I can't handle my fragile sense of worth being shattered over not being able to play a video game.

It's a well known fact that there's currently a hardware shortage going on, mainly with chips. Do some research before you spout nonsense.

However COVID is still a on going thing and supply chains are still affected and caused backlogging in stuff and shortages in things. Also doesnt help that there ships sitting in ports waiting for to be loaded or unloaded do to not enough people working since they want to have livable wages and treated better


You clearly a me me me and only about me person and not knowing whats happening around you

I'm sorry, but i too have to chime in, because Covid really did cause very real problems; problems that have yet to fully course-correct- namely manufacturing of micro-transistors among many many other core components computing hardware require- ranging from smart devices, to even the chips put in automobiles.

Please please do some research.

Pandemic is still on going, there is a well known shortage on supply chains & semiconductors - which are required in most electrionic equipment today including servers.

You may hate covid being used as an excuse but it's a valid excuse when it distrupt so many things.
Like I want to order a new car cause my lease is ending soon but it's a long delivery due to obove mention reasons. It is what it is and there isn't anything Square Enix or any manufacture could've been to prepare for this since they didn't have this enmass influx in 2018-2019.

Someone stated in another forum post that they haven't added any new servers in over 8 months even though they knew that ALL servers are filled to capacity.

Pandemic was going strong 8 months ago. Do you think before you speak or type?
