Login Restrictions are NOT Working

[Mychael]

I understand that the login restrictions on worlds were a band-aid fix, but they're actually making the problem worse. Now people (myself included, tbh) are refusing to log out once they're on the server, which just compounds the problem so that I'm sure there are people who haven't actually played yet.

Please think about adding some additional fixes, i.e. auto-disconnect and longer queues; leaving the situation as it is will just result in a second failed launch on the NA/EU markets. We are a lot less patient than some other markets, and a bad launch (to most) is a bad game. If you can't do anything to fix the problem today, please at least let us know that a fix is coming, and when.

This is by far the most original idea I've seen on this forum.

Yes, there are loads of selfish players about it seems.

Another thing they could do is restart the servers once and a while, would kick the afk until they can find a better way to fix their problem.

What would General Discussion be if it didn't have a few [thousand] of the same idea?

Cause every big MMO launch ever went super smooth. A bad launch makes a bad game eh? I remember my WoW server being down for days at a time when the game first came out... That game failed horribly apparently...

That was the launch for WoW. This is the second launch for FFXIV. Remember how the first one went?

It's simply unacceptable to not have queues to join the game. Simply telling people to "try again later" is about the most retarded thing I've ever seen an MMO try to pull.

When a person like myself gets home from work, all I want to do is enjoy myself. The rest of the night. I don't want hassles, I don't want bullshit, and I don't want to keep pressing three buttons in some kind of online lottery in an attempt to get into a game that I'M PAYING FOR.

Fucking ridiculous. Truly. This is by far one of the most frustrating launch experiences I've had. I'm astounded, dumbfounded by the craven stupidity that is disabling server queues. You fucked up, so your response is to.. what.. randomly punish people who bought your game? Because that's what it feels like. "You aren't the chosen one. Try again tomorrow." No, I bought your game, and since it's a sub fee, I expect to play it whenever the servers are operational.

WoW was what? almost 10 years ago? So learning from past mistakes should be thrown out the window correct?

I dont understand what is so hard to comprehend here, Reboot the servers get rid of all the bots and people idling and let other people in. is it really THAT hard to understand?
