I literally can't play this game?

I wouldn't waste your time, these threads are going to keep popping up remaining completely ignorant as to how new servers are acquired. Just let them fade into the void.

Meh. The exodus from WoW to FFXIV was gradual and ramped up over the summer. They had literal months to ramp up capacity even with a supply shortage. Its not about being "ignorant" its seemingly about them not wanting to ramp up capacity temporarily in the short term to save some dollars. I'm not taking a side either way...as a director I'd probably choose the same thing since it makes sense financially. But to just say "you're ignorant, supply shortage, blah blah" is also ignorant.

You understand that they literally cannot just "upgrade the capacity" when there is no way for them to upgrade the servers right? If it was doable Yoshi would have made a official statement about it like he did with the semi-conductor shortage, there was literally nothing they could have done.

I fully understand that. I also fully understand that any outfit of this size does in fact have access to necessary hardware, both in-house and outside

Most outfits would not actually have a whole server park just laying around. one, technology changes and you dont want millions in useless obsolete tech, two, chances are you outsource the building of the hardware. when you buy, you set a timeline and get a firm cost from the supplier. (plus, you arent buying servers from Walmart...)

my guess is their supplier, because it was a big order, said they could do it, and when it came time to do it, the supply was dried up. either way, thats just the OCE server, not the login server issue.

And so many of them are one post warriors.

I've noticed that literally the only thing you post is infantile complaints about people complaining.
And yet you think you aren't the problem.
I find that funny.

I've noticed that you make sweeping generalizations and apparently don't look at people's post histories when making them.
And yet you think you're insightful.

Actually, I made a specific effort to do exactly that.
Would you like me to quote them all for you?
That picture is all over the forum.

Maybe that's because whining is all over the forum. Its not in any of my posts before December 3rd.

So again, you take how I'm reacting to one situation and decide that's my entire forum presence.

I'm done responding to you, but feel free to quote this post and get in the last word if your ego needs it.

Hey thanks, I think I will.
Responding to everyone you don't agree with, with insults and stupid memes isn't a good look.
Here's an idea.
If you don't want to read a thread with a complaint in it, DON'T CLICK ON IT.
Mouse scrolling really isn't that hard.
