Can SE do something to make the wards not crash 3+ times a day?

Just wondering because if we had an Auction House this wouldnt be an issue.

ITT: december?
My retainers have been up since the last maintenance, which is becoming more and more common.
They're working on a way to keep the retainers up over maintenance and crashes.

You can't assume that just because XI's AH didn't crash often that XIV's wouldn't...sadly.

Market wards have crashed 2-3 times today on lindblum. I heard about them trying to fix it, whatever they have done hasnt solved it.

FYI, in the 4-5 years I played FFXI, I don't think I ever heard of or saw the Auction House going down.

I think I've seen the AH go down about twice, however that was during the DDOS attack I believe.

Ouch, I stand mistaken! But yea, compared to the current system thats not alot considering really. xD Atleast the AH had reason!(DDOS Attack as u say haha)

They've physically closed it a few times, moved it's servers around, partial maintenance and even over congestion back in its prime where you get kicked out of it.

Wards reset a lot more than crash from what I've seen.

Again, those were FFXI developers. These are XIV developers. Clearly the XIV developers have generated an insane amount of errors in their coding across the board from the ground up. You can't assume the difference in crashing is due to the difference in style. In fact, it's probably not.

Same dev team, btw.

Since unlike the AH/Search server of XI, in XIV people are actually physically utilizing it compared to just accessing a search system, so without optimization, it won't be the most stable thing ever.

Uh no. Largely not the same team until the panic button was hit. Which is about the time the crash frequency got cut by 80%
