Extreme stress for the customer support. Email bomb from massive amount of customers. Probably about "connection issues". And no, I'm not one of them. I already expected the hiccups long before the expansion.

"Hey, so I was bored because Endwalker finally launched and now there's nothing left to do, so I decided to browse the American forums."

"Oh really? Americans know about Final Fantasy?"

"I guess so! I was curious if they enjoy the game, and a few of them are saying they're having trouble playing."

"Ha ha, I don't doubt it. Even if they imported the disc, connecting to our Japanese servers from the other side of the planet must be rough."

"That's what I thought, but apparently there is an English-language client, with a dedicated North American server and everything! And apparently, the game is so popular that the server has reached capacity! There's currently a wait time to get online!"

"You're kidding! This is the first I've heard of it! Do you think Yoshi-P knows?"

"Hard to say. Perhaps we should tell him about it. In any case, some of the forum users had some great advice. They say we should buy another server to accommodate the extra players. One user was kind enough to link a unit they found on Amazon for about $350. I'm not sure if we can get corporate to approve the expense, but if so it could give our subscription numbers a boost as well as improve the user experience for our foreign fans across the pond."

"I don't know what to say, this is truly some outside-the-box thinking. You should definitely bring this discovery to Yoshi-P, it's going to knock his socks off! Kudos to our American players, that was really kind of them to offer their insights considering we are new to this MMO business and still learning the ropes."

"Right!? I'm going to suggest we reach out to some of these kind players and ask if they'd be interested in a career with us. Their modern ideas are just the shot in the arm we need to put our sleepy little game on the map!"
