Increasing current World capacity?

[ufufu]

Why does Yoshida not mention increasing the capacity of current Worlds in his new blog post? Are the existing populated NA worlds like Ultros still going to be locked at 5000 connections on Wednesday, after the new server installations are complete? I sincerely hope that they don't think people are going to jump ship from the Worlds they have established characters on to the new Worlds. Really, I have this sneaking suspicion that we're still going to be getting login errors if they don't bump up the server connection cap significantly in addition to adding new worlds and spreading the duty finder out.

I honestly don't know if they are increasing world capacity, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't, nor would I be surprised if 1017 remains a nuisance after the update. Square Enix has proved that they are incompetent when it comes to this kind of thing. Single-player RPGs seem to be their forte. "we believe that many of the login issues that players are currently experiencing will clear." - translation: it might still happen afterwards.

The way I understand it ( and they way they have it written) there is no plan to increase the maximum connections allowed on the existing servers.

They are installing new servers to create new worlds...and this is just a band aid on a much bigger problem. If I know SE like I think I do, they will install just enough servers to accommodate the current player base. This is assuming they offer a free transfer to clear out the existing servers.

And then....when they start selling the game again....BAM. Error 1017. New servers are all well and good. And sorely needed. But increasing the maximum capacity of the existing worlds is a must as well.

I would love some clarification on this from an SE rep. Is the addition of new servers going to raise the cap of concurrent connections on the worlds that are currently overloaded, or is it just going to let the folks who still haven't been able to create a character have a chance?

They can't increase the current worlds any longer. It's ridiculous doing fates with the quantity of people crammed up. There's so much people everywhere! I loved to explore the wild, barren lands, void of people with dangerous mobs roaming around during beta but now there are no barren lands void of people! There are tons of players, chocobos and magitek everywhere. They can't fit anyone else in there...

They will be adding worlds not increasing world size. When they say increased world capacity they do not mean increase of world size, just increase of the capacity of the worlds to choose from on the list. So, if you don't get to play on a server with friends, you gotta get them to move to a new server to play with them after the update.

What a load of bs! You mean to tell me the same log-in difficulties will persist?

Can I get my free days reimbursed for the days I can't play, like, for instance, today, yesterday, the day before, and most likely tomorrow and the day after?

It is not much "free" 30 days when I can't log in on any of those days right?

We still had to pay money for the game regardless of subs. This is fraud. What they need to do like most every other mmo is kick afkers. Problem solved.
