Increasing current World capacity?

[Alozaps]

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.
