Regarding Preparations to Increase the Capacity of our Data Centers

[TonyUK]

Hello everyone,

We've noticed not just a few threads on this, and comments from many players, and so wanted to be sure to clear up a sincere misunderstanding regarding the recent announcement to up the capacity of our data centers:



As mentioned in the previous announcement that this clarification refers to, this process is looking to be finalized come early next week and we will keep you updated once we hear more about its implementation. Thank you very much for your patience while attempting to login to the game.

Some good news from our lil ol community cactaur

I'm glad to hear that they're going to increase the capacity on NA/EU data centers.
Hopefully more people will be able to play soon.

Is it just me, or did the emergency maintenance today start an hour before it was posted to?

I played up until about 5 minutes before it was scheduled to start...

Are you in the UK?

It was scheduled to start at 8am GMT right?

Good! I'll just wait right here for the apologies from the people who jumped all over this issue in other threads (now deleted) as an example of SE ignoring NA/EU while helping JP.


Any minute now, I'm sure.

Actually once again like a lot of other people you have it WRONG they originally announced expanding the Japanese servers capacity instead of all servers.That being said SE looked like they once again were showing Japanese players more support then the rest of us.Please stop kissing up to SE they really fumbled the ball once again!

Thank you very much for playing FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

Currently, an extremely high number of players are enjoying the game. Should the number of players continue to increase at the current pace, there is the possibility that our expectations and server capacity will be greatly surpassed. Therefore, in order to maintain a stable gameplay environment, we are implementing login and character creation restrictions.

In order to be able to welcome a drastically greater number of players, we are starting as early as this week with preparations to increase our facilities, to be ready by early next week. Until that time, we will be continuing to implement these restrictions as required, and we ask for your understanding and patience.

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

No they didn't. You misinterpreted it. They explained in the OP of this very thread. Stop putting your misunderstanding on them. I didn't read into the orginal statement that it was JP only. They said they were increasing their facilities, period. They didn't say they were increasing JP facilities only at any point. You jumped to conclusions and misunderstood what they were saying.

Could they have put the info in two seperate posts? Sure.
If you were unsure, should you have requested clarification rather than just assuming the worst? Most definitely.

Please find me where they said they were increasing JP capacity only then I will humbly apologise because I can admit when I am wrong.

@Fossil924 and all the others calling this white knighting or kissing up to SE.

No. Its you bunch who misinterpreted a statement and jumped to a negative conclusion like a bunch of emotional schoolgirl. And now that you feel like a bunch of dicks, you want to make up ridiculous excuse to blame SE as if it was their fault that you acted in such way or you somehow feel wronged. Seriously, grow up. And your whining is not constructive criticism by the way so don't even pull that card out. Constructive criticism would involve exploring the possible context out of an vague official statement and not straight out drawing your opinion out of your ass as facts.

Edit: Aegis, apologies if it sounded like I was directing that at you but I wasn't. It was directed at the person and the type of people you were quoting.
