Regarding Character Creation and Login Restrictions (Aug. 26)
In order to prevent server outages due to login and world congestion, we are currently closely monitoring server loads and making adjustments to both character creation and login limits as needed.

As we approach the peak North American play hours, the North American and European servers listed below in will have their login restrictions adjusted with particular scrutiny in order to ensure a pleasant play experience for all players.

As we continue to monitor the situation, we will be allowing players to log in sequentially. This will unfortunately have the effect of causing wait times for logins to these worlds, but this is a necessary step for the sake of server stability, and we ask for your understanding and patience during this time.

Additionally, character creation restrictions are currently in place for the following worlds:

Behemoth
Sargatanas
Diabolos
Gilgamesh
Leviathan
Balmung
Excalibur
Hyperion
Tonberry
Mandragora
Bahamut
Chocobo

In the event of any changes in the situation, follow-up news posts will be posted here as well.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and once again thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

Man, they're worthless.

They need to add Goblin to that list, I haven't been able to log in for hours.

Yada Yada Yada... Nothing to see here.

That was a pretty useless post. More of the same copy-pasted crap, and they still haven't explained to us how they're going to solve the problem. How long is this going to go on before players can log in normally? Queues would still be disappointing because they're unwilling to explain to us why they won't improve the server capabilities. What a load of garbage this is.

[Olwe]

I just wonder if this will have a solution ... and when?

I'm honestly kind of confused as to why they threw up an arbitrary list of worlds as though they are somehow different from the rest of them. I've been refreshing the list trying to make a character on Diabolos and all of them have been off or on whether they are on that list or not. At one point I refreshed and ALL NA servers were closed.

Square Enix... if you're going to restrict the amount of users per server... and you have users not able to log in because of it... time for more servers. DUH.

"As we continue to monitor the situation, we will be allowing players to log in sequentially."

Oh look, queues. Maybe.

Ultros as well D: I just want to play with my friends, like everyone else.
