Square-Enix,
Since this is the game's re-launch I am willing to overlook the shortcomings of the game architects such as the poor resource allocation by inadequate management and poor network analysis by uncalculated network architects. These people have done a poor job of projecting what resources are necessary to run this game in a stable environment. Square-Enix KNOWS they have a successful game on their hands. They also knew how many pre-orders they had so they could have passed that information off to their data centers so the network and resource architects could have calculated and planned accordingly. Obviously none of this occurred or we would not be in the situation we are in today. So we are now at the mercy of a company that has poor projection skills.
Initially during early access I created a character on the NA server Diablos. I leveled this character to 20, but this character has been stagnant since then due to 1017 world full blocks. I am not one who will cry over spilled milk. So I moved on and tried to create a new character on a less populated NA server, but I could not due to the new character creation blocks. So I decided to move to the land of the rising sun, and I created a new character on the JP server Ifrit. I leveled my newly created character on the JP server to level 15. I was totally content with starting over anew, and everything was going smoothly until this morning at 8:00AM EST when I tried to logon to the JP server Ifrit and was greeted by the notorious 1017 world is full block. (NOTE: I also received a queue last evening on the PS3 when trying to enter JP server Ifrit, but was eventually permitted to enter)
However, I am willing to overlook all of the current short-comings and faulty projection management if SE can take the proper steps to remedy these problems within the upcoming month.
I have purchased 3 copies of this game: 1 PC Collector's Edition, 1 PC Standard Edition, and 1 PS3 Standard Edition. All of which will be tied to 3 separate SE accounts with 3 separate subscriptions. I will not be activating any of the registration codes or registering a paying subscription on any of these games/accounts until SE can remedy their data center problems. Once my free access (early access time) wears off these 3 accounts will all be stagnant. I am sorry but I cannot commit to a game that is not ready.
Square-Enix, if you are reading this please understand that I will return to the game once proper management of your resources has occurred. Until then I wish my fellow gamers good luck especially if you have already committed to the game by registering the game codes and a subscription.
Thank you Square-Enix I do adore the game you have produced, but please let me play it.
