Regarding Preparations to Increase the Capacity of our Data Centers

[Aegis]

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!

[NA]Regarding Congestion in Japan Data Center Worlds (Aug. 27)

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.

Wake up SE issued a statement stating both NA and EU servers would also be included in increased server capacity after it's initial statement Aegis posted which translates into a SE error...CORRECT?You want constructive criticism the game shouldn't have been released SE should have took another week or 2 to polish and fix the servers.The server issues have benn happening all thru beta from alpha to Phase 4....how's that for constructive?

They clarified it because people like you made a mistake and stirred up a shitstorm on the forums. They took steps to correct your misunderstanding. It was your error, friend.

I agree that the release date should have been pushed back after the 3012 and 90000 errors in phase 4 and that it was an error to have such a small phase 4, and it was an error It's demonstrably not constructive, however, because it's after the fact. The statement in no way helps the current situation.

No, it was SE's poor communication skills, yet again.

Those with a good understanding of how English is written know that the body of a document relates to the words IN THE TITLE. Since the TITLE mentioned JAPANESE and ONLY Japanese it was absolutely correct to interpret SE as saying the new servers mentioned in the body of the text were JAPANESE servers.

No matter how much fanboys like you want to believe it, SE were at fault for the 'storm' that ensued.

To be fair, most who speak English have a poor understanding of the language. Namely since all it is, is a hodgepodge of other languages slapped together. It was a -mistake- dude. Let it go.

You can't honestly say it was correct to interpret it that way when that way was wrong. The body of the text did relate to the title. The increase in capacity will reduce congestion on the JP data centre. No argument there.

The argument is that you assumed they were only doing this to the JP data centre in absence of any kind of supporting statement to that effect. You refuse to admit you were wrong to jump to this conclusion even though others were saying at the time that there is no reason to jump to that conclusion. You didn't ask for clarification, which would have been reasonable, you just jumped to a conclusion that was wrong and refuse to admit that you were at error for doing so.

They never said "We are increasing capacity on the JP data centre only" or "We will not be increasing capacity on the NA/EU data centre". Those would have been absolute statements that you would have been well within your rights to get riled up about.

Next time, take a breath, re-read the whole statement (not just the title, mind) and see if it still says what you thought it said at first, rather than just jumping on the forums and crying foul.

All I hear from you is a whole lot of bitching like that wife that never stops yapping. You've mistaken whining for constructive criticism.

Do I agree that the game should never have been released on the 27th? Yes I do. Phase 4 was too short. They applied a fix to the 3102 and 90k and extended an additional 6 hours of beta testing DURING a time when the least amount of NA/EU were on (being it monday and in the morning when people are either asleep or at work). I believe that was a mistaken on SE part or whoever decided the release date and refused to push it back upon the discovery of problems in Open Beta.

As for your rage over SE's announcement on additional servers being added. No-where in the announcement said it was limited to Japan only. Taking into context that the announcement was made in all languages, it's safe to assume NA, EU and JP are relatively included. It was also stated in the announcement that they plan to increases their facilities, didn't state which but facilities is used in plural tense, so it's also an assumption that NA, EU and JP are included. Since SE has previously referred to NA/EU Data center and JP Data center as two entities.

Your so called constructive criticism lacks the pros & cons, citations or evidence and relative contextual possibilities needed to make a so called "constructive criticism".

And this being my third post of the day, I wasted my posting privilege on you.

Edit: Just connected to Behemoth server. I'll be enjoying the rest of my day with this game.
