Shame on you Square

Just for clarification. At the people who are justifying this by saying they can find the play time. It's not 100% about the play time. It's about the time that I do have I don't have it sitting at my computer staring at numbers going down. And the disconnects that kick me from the queue prevent me from getting my turn. I returned at 3:00pm my time. It is now 6:20pm and I just straight up quit out of frustration from trying to get in.

We're all going through this. Not just you.

The lack of empathy from some members of this great community is truly disgusting. I hope the mods start doing something about this.

Sorry I don't have empathy for someone complaining about something that isn't even that big of a struggle? Like sure, kids, work, I get it, but in the sea of everyone else complaining about something that will be fixed by Christmas, I find it hard to care.

Anyways yea, please thought police me papa, I deserve it for being a bad wittle pawadin.

The loss of position in the queue seems to be fixed (at least on excal). I have been in line for an hour (4700 peeps) and kicked off twice. Both times, my position was kept in place by the time I came back. I'm currently 1187 in line.

I am finding all the complaining rather amusing at this point among everyone.

It's a game that just released a huge expansion at a time where the world is still trying to get back to some resemblance of normalcy due to Covid. There are plenty other things that can be done if you are really getting so frustrated. Go watch a movie or go to the movies, catch up on the myriad of TV shows or books that you've been putting off because you've spent so much time playing FFXIV already. Go spend time with friends and/or family. Go to a park or for a walk to get out of the house. The game isn't going anywhere and we all need a break every now and then.

As a developer, myself, I can see and understand what SE is going through and dealing with. They have done all that they can until they are able to physically deal with the server additions (again, limited due to Covid, beyond their control).

Chill. So what you can't play right now? It'll be there when things finally settle down, and they will, settle down.

yes, the more they see it as a new thread, the more they comprehend this is unacceptable to skimp on server space. they knew this was going to be the congestion and should have planned for it, but like with every money first organization they are choosing not to optimize for the sake of profit margins. sure player logins will equalize eventually, but that excuse them selling a product that is virtually unplayable. if we just keep commenting in the same thread they'll just conclude it's an ongoing deliberation between fans and not a problem.

I can play this game just fine, there is nothing wrong with it. I just can't log in during prime time it's the end of the world?! Omg, I played for two hours this morning but can't log in after work am I upset no, disappointed yes. Stop being a Karen.

Sometimes you can get back in quickly enough after a 2002 error and you'll get in at approximately the same spot in the queue. More often than not I cannot even get back on the queue, the server will just keep refusing my connection with repeated 2002s. After 2 or 3 such unsuccessful attempts, if I get back in, I go back to queuing behind 4-5k folks before me. It's now happened on and off like that for the last 2.5 hours. :-(

Actually, that's the exact opposite of how they work. Had all of the complaints been compiled into one megathread, they'd have been much more likely to click on that thread and read through it. But that's not how our culture works.
