Give US/EU more servers! JP Do not need 25!

There's far too many players on many servers. It's always like this because the choices are always short to begin with, friends want to play with friends, and communities of friends want to play with other communities of friends. There should always be a good decent transfer of spill overs to newly created servers to allow these groups to move together. Before it ends up being completely full with random moves. A good organized strategy of transferring is better than any strategy to transfer which is then better than absolutely no strategy.

I'm on Cerberus, I haven't experienced any noticeable lag and I were not a victim of the 3102 error during phase 4..
However, now (during Early Access) I've encountered the 90000 (d/c) error and I've constantly been waiting in queue when trying to login (highest queue have been around 250 for me).

I've also been forced to compete over monsters, we've been like 20 people trying to kill the same monsters, which gets rough when there's like 3 of them spawning once per minute or so. And, obviously, had problem with the duty finder like everyone else.

So comparing it to moogle is fine, since it's probably the same story on all the servers right now.

Guys, this is clearly an issue of Square under estimating the load that the NA/EU users would be putting on their systems. Square is in this business to make money, not to see how long people will endure crappy service before quitting. I guarantee you they will add additional server capacity to their data center to handle whatever load is placed on them. This is typical of an MMO launch. I think we can all agree that everyone is excited to play this great game. Give them some time. The bugs will be worked out and before you know it the queues and errors will be something everyone talks about and all in the past. It's not gonna happen in 8 hours but it will within the first week or so of service. They will also be opening world transfers. It will all balance out. Anyone that has played wow has probably seen the free world transfer offers etc. Gotta balance the load. It'll happen. Looking forward to this being the next awesome MMO and playing for years to come.

If you had noticed.. JP server came down prior to US servers. So they implemented the fix there first.

To all of you complaining about how smooth and awesome the JP servers are and how the NA is shite because SE hates us:

Do you really think it is a fair comparison to stack our NA server, during it's peak hours, to that of a JP server on it's quiet time? You do realize there is a massive time difference, right? Of course it's going to seem emptier, smoother, less congested if you hop on during the day here.

ETA: Post cap.

Except that alot of them will be like us and be up at like 5 AM all day to play a game they've been anticipating the moment it's opened. So the point you make is moot.

It was mentioned JP servers came down earlier. Now, I really don't care enough to verify this myself, so you may want to. But hey, lets all just keep assuming the JP servers are perfect. Makes for better rants that way.

Japanese servers are hosted in Japan, so shutting them down and "giving them" to NA/EU wouldn't really do much besides free up some money... However, Square stated that the problem was with the servers responsible for handling the instances, so again, shutting down Jap world servers doesn't do much.

maybe hes not even talking bout the instances, overcrowding? world's full all the time.

populations
USA(not counting mexico, canada, south america) - 300 million
EU (not counting russia)- 500 million
800 million people worth of possible players

JP - 130 million

and we have the same amount of servers.
