Fix on Wednesday

[Johnist]

First off, people need to read the post. Linked here.

For those who won't click the link to read the post, here it is:

At the following time, we will be performing maintenance on FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn to perform the operations listed below. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn will be unavailable.

[Details]
- Addition of new Worlds
- Implementation of countermeasures to handle the influx of concurrent user counts as a result of split processing the duty finder
- Address several known issues

* Clients will update automatically upon launch after the date and time below.

* We will announce details of the fixes at a later time.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

[Date & Time]
From Sep. 3, 2013 5:00 p.m. to Sep. 4, 2013 3:00 a.m. (PDT)
* The completion time may be subject to change.

[Affected Service]
FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn

So we see that they will be giving further details after the Maintenance. They do say the following.
1 - Addition of new Worlds
2 - Countermeasures for Concurrent users (AFKBoot?) and working with the Duty Finder
3 - "Several Known Issues"... this probably includes the exploit for skipping the majority of a dungeon to go straight to the big boss fight at the end.

So please... Selo... do some fact checking before just saying

Theyll just add new servers, it wont fix anything

It's perfectly reasonable to be pessimistic.

They don't mention ANYTHING about login server upgrades. They don't mention ANYTHING about an AFK kick.

Creating new worlds means all of jack and shit without server transfers.

They talk about Countermeasures for Concurrent users, the problem that is causing them to keep the servers locked. Concurrent users is the LOGIN Server problem.

It talks about concurrent users as a result of "split processing the duty finder." That item is duty finder related, NOT login related.

It would've been incredibly easy for them to add a bullet line for something like "increased login/lobby server capacity" or "increased login queue capacity", but they didn't. That worries me.

Maybe its included in the "several known issues" line, but I'm doubtful.
