sad and worn out

[EnnCee]

I've been monitoring my log in attempts for hours upon hours and days upon days, and usually, if I'm patient, I get in, BUT, today, since 3pm est (almost 5 hours) I have attempted to login in 4 times and each time whenever the queue gets under 1000, I get kicked out. this doesn't include the 8-10 times I was denied access to the log in server lobby.

I'm not mad, and I don't blame SE. I really do understand, but I sincerely hope they can get more servers up and running VERY. SOON.

putting it simply: this is really bad for the game.

I know the engineers probably could all use some sleep by now, so I have a suggestion: borrow a few servers from world of warcraft and new world. I have this feeling that they have a few extras lying around that they would be happy to get rid of.

meanwhile, I'll wait and hope I can get to play a little bit. good luck with your queues everybody. one day, while we're all happily playing FFXIV, we'll remember this ordeal and laugh....but not today.

regards and no, I'm not going anywhere.

Nah, if they sold any servers (they won't because even their devs are huffing copium) they would be instantly bought by crypto/NFT miners.

The sad state of our clown world, I guess.

It be better if they just shut down all of ffxi servers and used them. They could also link the servers like when its prime play time in NA it's low play time on JP servers. All they need to do is have housing on there own server so if you was on a JP server when your in NA server you could still use your housing and fc housing.

Linking servers would be worse. They are phsycally in those regions, being put on a Japanese server when you are in NA would be higher ping and you would get lag latency issues.

As an Australian playing on NA Hyperion since 2013, allow me to say:
Oh no, more than double digit ping. Unplayable!

Seriously. It always irks me when i see people whine about lag.
FFXIV is the single most lenient MMO I've ever played in regards to latency. The only noticeable effect Latency has on you is the lead time for reacting to and getting out of doompuddles.

Our actions are processed client side the instant you begin the action. Damage may appear a fraction of a second later than you're used to.

Latency has an incredibly minimal effect on gameplay.
If I was able to clear Twintania prenerf as a Monk with ping fluctuating between 400 and 600 at a time before the fixed the server tick rates (Look up old school Titan HM and EX to see how bad it was) causing the lagfeel to be closer to 900 sometimes, I'm sure you could deal with being put on a JP server to play MSQ.

I was going to say something along this line myself. I am a NA player and have had a character on a JP server for more than a year. I won't say there is no lag but I will say I adjusted to it with little trouble and don't even notice it most of the time. I am pretty much only playing my JP character at this point. I will get back to my main on NA when things settle. At least I get to play this way.

So unbelievably bad and shows a lack of understanding how these things work. Possibly even purposely antagonistic.

FF 11 is still running and still has hundreds of thousands of players. That it is still popular and busy?

I am curious as to what it is you want to say to those players, and exactly HOW you will explain why you just shut off their game that they paid for?

You DO know there is new content coming for FF 11 as well?

19 years after its launch, Square Enix's long-time MMORPG Final Fantasy 11 is still alive and kicking. With a new story arc just released in 2020, Final Fantasy 11's producer Akihiko Matsui has recently mentioned in his New Year's greetings that players can expect story expansions and more will be implemented in 2021.

Thats a flat NO.

They could also link the servers like when its prime play time in NA

The game uses a different engine to FF 14.

That's just selfish request lol, and don't you know FFXI is as crowded as FFXIV? Think before talk.

How incredibly selfish.
