    I dont get it

    I don't get why no one that releases games ever has enough capacity on their servers. I mean they knew how many people were going to be playing. I don't see why they wouldn't upgrade their hardware asap to accommodate? Isn't that possible? I'm sure their fix will be to release more servers and offer free transfers just like every other mmo that has had this problem at launch, because no one can seem to have a smooth launch anymore. Most frustrating thing since D3. Spend 3 days trying to log in then have to work 80 hours in 8 days. QQ lol Fix eeet!

    Most games, most of the time is not that they don't have the server capacity, is that the SHEER NUMBER of people trying to log in at once inadvertently acts as a DDoS attack on the login servers. Also, the number in the same areas of the map tends to cause server lag and the occasional crash or disconnect.

    In this case though, yes SquareIdiots COMPLETELY underestimated the number of people who would be playing in North American and Europe. Which I don't understand considering they broke the world record for simultaneous logins during an open beta TWICE last weekend AND they have exact numbers for the NA and EU pre-orders.

    To top it off, they artificially limited the number of people who can be online for each world at the start of Early Access and have yet to lift it. Plus each time they do emergency maintenance they lower it further. For more info and ranting read my previous post.
