Stable Servers!

[Kes13a]

So you think the WoW exodus & the lack of servers they could've bought before covid hit won't affect the state of the game?

why did they need servers prior to the wow exodus?

they were adding the oceanic for players there having to connect to NA and suffer performance issues

I would say the majority of people who bought endwalker got the pre order version which... came with the early access key. I doubt server stabilty will be any worse than now, which seem pretty stable.

the issue is the login server, which seems to be an issue in most game launches

People that claim this is a successful launch are just ignorant to the actual issues that exist. That is sadly a major issue with the FF community is every one white knights over this game and ignore actually issues that should be address. Shadowbringers was actually the most successful launch so far, no server issues, queues were reasonably 30min - 1hr, and no getting booted from the queue due to a poorly implemented fail safe. I would say this has actually been the worst expansion launch FFXIV has had and yes I believe it is worst then Raubahn as at least you could actually get into the game.

If you think this wasn't a successful expansion launch, you've never participated in a bad expansion launch.

In a bad launch, the game is near unplayable once you get past the log in queue.

"Good News" it looks like you can log in sometime around 2-3 am or so CST... "Bad News" if you work you're probably asleep... "Great News" you most likely won't be able to log in when you get home... "Worse News" you have to sleep before you go back to work... "Excellent News" you have to do hard drugs if you want to play this game any time soon!!!

It's not a server login problem it's a there's not enough room for people to login in the first place problem. Even if there wasn't the 2002 issue having up to a 7,000 people line ahead of you during any reasonable hour which is a 2-3 hour wait isn't going to change much if the server is full & staying that way.

Early access launch day is always the rockiest. These doom-n-gloom posts are a perennial thing every expansion.

Oof that didn't age well...

How's that? Can't say I've seen any queues go up from all the millions of players that jumped in on official launch day.
