So the login and instance issues continue after 3 "Emergency Maintenance's". (Going on 4 now) While many feel content to blindly argue that "this is early access, bugs and server congestion are going to happen", I have a hard time agreeing with that sentiment. The problem is that the JP servers are not having any of these issues. To me, this points to a failure on Square Enix to go with reputable co-location companies, solid network and server hardware, and reliable infrastructure. I am fairly positive that there are 1000's of simultaneous connections on the JP servers with NO ISSUES. NA/EU and JP are running the same version of the game, same code, yet one game is playable and the other is broken. Until SE dumps some serious upgrades to their NA datacenters, no amount of "Emergency maintenance" or code optimization is going to fix this.
