Realistically, when will the 2002 and que issue be resolved?

[Vav2021]

Been having a rough few days, and have been a little overwhelmed with real life stuff. Oh Hyperion, the ques are easily still in the thousands. I usually play the game at night to help me wind down, and the que is so long that by the time I'm 3/4 to the goal of being first, i'm dreadfully exhausted, if the que isn't interrupted with the errors.

I'm glad that FFXIV is popular, and I'm glad there will be many more people to play with, but as it stands, the game is borderline unplayable, and I've only managed to play maybe 4 hours this week. My optimism is dying down, and being replaced with frustration.

In short: Realistically, when will this game be fixed and playable again?

I have to agree this is getting old. I work and would like to play but cant. I waited 2 hours to get on tonight went to bathroom for 10 mins and got DCed and put back to 2500 in queue. Got mad and just gave up for the night.

im hoping the "Chip Shortage" meme is just a meme.

are.. you suggesting people are making up the worldwide chip shortage that is affecting nearly every industry?

Or just that the chips are the ONLY reason that there's a problem.. cause that is a meme. The problem is severely compounded by the shortage.. but there are other factors.

I haven't heard much about anything other than the chip shortage.

Same, but for me I was watching a show on my other monitor and got a little too focused on it and got DC'd, and by the time I noticed and logged back in I got put in a 4500 queue

I really hate how you can't do anything that diverts your attention too much or makes you leave your desk because of the 2002's

Considering the amount of spam about it on the forum, not surprising.

The actual problem is that server upgrades were delayed and reactionary expansion was not possible due to the shortage. In addition we have probably the largest surge in player count ever, something like triple the amount of active users expected. The servers were not on track to deal with this and the lack of capability to react has made it worse.

Basically the population way outstripped anyones possible forecast for usage right when it suffered delays to all the planned upgrades.

i've picked up Minecraft again while I wait, so I can alt tab back over into XIV. Doesn't stop the 2002 though.

Found it in the technical support forums:

It is very interesting. And i must admit, the devs of this game have lost LOTS of credibility in my eyes.
