It could of been a typo on their part and meant NA/EU if your comment about JP servers not having issues is true. Regardless, here is the same thing from the "An Apology to Our Players Using NA/EU Data Centers". http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/68427

Although we have successfully addressed a number of serious issues in the past several days, we have nevertheless decided to implement login restrictions for the time being due to the extremely heavy load being placed upon the servers. In this way, we can ensure that the maximum number of players can play the game without risking a server crash. I know no one wants to wait to log in, but I hope you all understand why we believe this precaution is necessary.

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.
