New Realms - but no fix?

[Arlekiel]

Op is right.. I was going to make a thread about it.. but I guess ill just express my opinión here.
Im afraid.. this new "measure" of just adding realms.. its not going to fix the server issues.
Our current issue is that the servers are full.... this not going to be solved by adding new servers..

Also think about this.. every single MMO experiences a curve in its population. For example TERA, had some overpopulated servers in the begining.. then a "new" mmo kicked in... and lots of ppl left.. its a normal behaviour...it would be completly normal to have less ppl once NA Blade and Soul kicks in.. or once NA archerage goes live...

By making more realms.. SE, you are making it the mistake of forcing a server merge, in a future...and also you are not solving our main issue right now.. that is that our current realms are overpopulated... and im guessing people are not going to be so fond of just making new "alts" when you already invested time on your character...

This. They're showing a complete lack of sensibility here with their new product.

WE DONT NEED MORE SERVERS!

We need:

1) raised server capacity for current servers
2) Free character transfers off full worlds and on to not full worlds
3) login q's instead of 0 spam
4) afk kick timers of 30 or so mins

Also, what the FUCK is with the posting limit on a games release forums?! HOW DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE!

Of course we need more servers.
Even if they increase the capasity for the current servers, the moment they start the online sell again the servers are full again.

You are new in the english forum?

I've explained to a few people, who suggested adding worlds would solve congestion issues, how it would not fix the problem in the long term. Having witness this happen to an MMO that started off really popular, greatly hyped and has a loyal fan base, I didn't want to see this happen to 14. Servers were added but, eventually, people stopped playing. First they got rid of all of their pvp servers, then they got rid of their regional servers. Last I heard, they only have 4 servers covering all the regions the game used to have separated.

So you can see my bit of concern and why I feel that adding more worlds is the equivalent to putting a short-term solution on something that has long term effects.

People who have barely played will migrate to the new severs. People who want to start fress will migrate to the new severs. New players wil migrate to the new severs. That's alot of people. Just because we're all of decent time invesment doesn't mean the silent majorty is.

I'm pretty sure they are improving the old servers as well as adding new servers.... That was the impression I got from their statement a day or two ago.

For the love of all that is humane and sane, learn to READ.

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.

Thank you very much for playing FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

We would like to make a clarification regarding our previous announcement “Regarding Congestion in Japan Data Center Worlds (Aug. 27)” in which we stated that we are preparing to increase the capacity of our data centers.

The first half of the announcement regarding login and character creation restrictions was directed towards our players who would be playing during peak hours in Japan data center Worlds.

However, the second half of the announcement regarding increasing the capacity of our data centers was meant to also encompass North American and European data center Worlds and not just be limited to Japan data center Worlds.

We deeply apologize for causing concern amongst the North American and European community due to our lack of clarity. Capacity will be increased for data centers in all regions.

Once again, thank you for your understanding and cooperation to help us welcome more players to the game.

Reactions over "toon" usage provide entertainment for hours.

[Briegg]

Don't remember using the term "toon" too much, in everquest or ultima....

Besides the point, give the game two weeks that's all I'm gonna say.

[Jocke]

Im going to call my character "Toon" from now on. I like the Sound of the Word and my Toon agrees.

Toon, Toon, Toon!
