How long will this login que problem last?

[Laerune]

I think till end of January 2022 and the queue will return everytime there is an event or they have released a major patch.

It’s currently almost 5k queue, yeah, no..

Aether has had the same problem for months as well. Remember you couldn't even create a character on Aether for a few weeks at one point?

Here's an unsatisfying, but realistic, answer that my Organic Chem prof used to give us when we asked how long a reaction would take; "It'll take as long as it takes.".

I honestly hope you're able to get into the game at some point and enjoy the product you've paid for!

there were queues back in 2019 when i first played ff14 and i see no chance that SE will fix the problems going on now, ever. they havent even suspended sales to new players that if they bought the game, couldnt make a character. greed always wins.

Chip shortage affects many things. That depends on how bad is the server business. They are not just for games. Businesses needs servers as well.

Even desktop CPUs and GPUs are affected. I still could not find PS5 and Core i9-12900K at reasonable price after 1 month. Look at price of the graphic cards. They are insane.

Expected at least 2023 for them to fix supply issues. New manufacturing plants will be ready on that year.

Actually, it's a bit deeper. The stem of evil is cryptomining.

GPU shipments drastically increased!! And yet not any laymen can afford or purchase any low-to-mid end GPUs at all. The only GPUs we can purchase are either too expensive to expect mining profit or too flimsy(?) to mine anything (i.e. GT710, 210...)

In other words, the dwindling resources (to make fundamental passive elements and power supply components) have been allocated to GPU instead of making motherboards or CPUs (or memory modules... DDR5 is also heavily scalped at this moment) for server machines.

First time I've gotten 90k happened a little over an hour and a half ago, right at the end of a dungeon too. At least I was on a DPS, so they were probably able to complete it without me. Been sitting in queue for this entire time, it's going slowly. Normally, I'd be logging off soon or about an hour, so this is great.. I do hope this subsides soon though. I'd like to be able to take longer breaks from the game without risking this. The queue was only 2k something as well, and it took this long.

This is false, tho. Friend of mine has created two characters on different servers in the past week.

Just because you can't create a character during peak hours does not mean the service is entirely unavailable.

Why suspend sales when the game remains fully playable? No game is ever going to have capacity for literally everyone to be online all at once. You either fight the queue and the errors and try to play while everyone else is also trying to play, or you just play when there are less people trying to play.
