SE - Please fix EU situation now

[Sotaris]

I can understand it's hard to increase the login capacity and all but the situation for us in Europe is getting out of hand now.

Didn't help that whole EU DC (both Chaos and Light) crashed few moments ago resulting in 3000+ queues.

How is making a post in Technical support going to help whole EU playerbase when we keep having issues with queues, 30 min + for world visist etc etc?
SE's DC is having technical issues, not the players.

Technical Support
This is a place for both FINAL FANTASY XIV players and the Support Center representatives to diagnose technical issues and find a quick resolution to issues.

Just wait for when Endwalker releases.
Both new and old whom are on break waiting for it will flood back.
Releases always add queues when there usually aren't any.
So this expansion will be a blast getting in to.

I hope people got Netflix or something while waiting in the upcoming queues.

At least we'll have multi instances so it's not really like SB release. SHB was frankly pretty smooth and I expect EW will be the same but login queues will of course increase.

Funnily not everyone got DC'ed, stayed logged in while half my FC ended up with an 1000+ que lol

I think it's completely reasonable for European players to be a bit annoyed at how we've been treated over the years. Let's not forget, we didn't even have servers located in Europe back when the game first launched. They came later into the game's lifespan. Even then, our regional servers overloading and crashing has not been an uncommon occurrence over the years. Some recent statements regarding upgrading our servers have been made, certainly, though arguably that is something that should have been done already. One has to wonder why so much of the game's budget being spent on marketing if the expectation is not player growth. Perhaps the development team were caught off-guard by the game's sudden surge in popularity but at the same time these issues can be mitigated in advance.

When a server goes down, having the huge queue to login is normal, in case you never experienced that in the past. Hell I have a login queue every day on my server. When/if it crashes, login queue numbers are in the thousands because everyone is rushing to log back in. No, I'm not in EU.

Yeah, the login queues I was speaking of.
SE said themselves that they've learned not to do the same mistake they did in SB.
But I do enjoy the memes that came out of it however. ^^

whats really troublesome is how will this play out in Endwalker ...

I mean i love full servers, but they gotta increase login capacity and concurrent playerbase..

Then EU needs at least another datacenter tbh
