Servers Locked Again..!!

"In case we do release the limitation, there is a high chance that the corresponding World will crash or cause issues, and we are thinking that it will be difficult for us to release it for a while." -Yoshida

...and how exactly does a world crash if there is a queue system preventing too many people from logging into a world at any given time?

You gotta wait for the new players without plans to filter to other servers first. It's inconvenient and unlucky but necessary to avoid population issues on any server.

It's interesting how people are supposed to "suck it up" because they cannot create character on the first day of the EARLY ACCESS.

I agree that server lockdowns need to be lifted ASAP, lots of new players were not able to play the beta and are waiting to join their friends during this early access.

[Rekujen]

It's not acceptable, period. We paid for this, why should we move to another server with no friends then pay for a transfer later? what is wrong with you people.

unlock the servers and use the queue system ffs.

[Jeneti]

It's stupid... there are probably like thousands of unplayed beta characters on moogle and people who have paid money for early access can't get early access.

I have friends who have spouses joining the game who can't play with each other cause of this... Not to mention the friends who I personally talked into getting this game to play with me. I can't believe this... My 20 friends and I get locked into full servers to keep us away from new players, but now our friends who want to join us get locked out... Come on SE, this is BS and you know it.

[Lephise]

Really, there is no way for anyone to justify this. For example on moogle when I logged in (yes i have character from beta 4) the queues were as huge as 15 players, and it was like hour after the server was already restricted. In MMO it really is the same as not being able to play the game at all for people who would play the game with their friends. It's not a solution to say to them that "go play on other server", as they would have to start it all over later or pay to SE to transfer their character to server they wouldve wanted to play on in the first place. Its absurd that a server is locked right away on the first seconds of EARLY ACCESS. SE really f'd this up.

[Rav---]

I don't think they understand...the people waiting to get on the locked servers are not just going to go to another server. They will wait or give up on the game altogether.

They should just lift all restrictions on character creation and let the very high queues sort it out. Those who got lucky in BETA 4 and were able to make characters should not have preference over those who were not so lucky or recently purchased the game. Everyone should wait in the same queue.

I like how there's more JP servers than NA/EU, considering the western world apparently has way more players.

Actually wait no it's not. But still would adding anymore to at least NA/EU help?

Juuuuust a passing thought.

I think there were exactly the same number at the start of phase 4 but they added a couple extra to the JP region because of population
