just shut the servers down

[ebuu]

dear SE,

its not the right way to let 100k ppl play and 150k ppl to waste their time with trying to log in.

just shut all servers down and take your time to release a stable game

you had enough time for stress testing, didnt you saw these things coming?

im just pissed

What did you just say about me, you imp? I graduated top of my class in the immortal flames, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Ifrit, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in thaumaturgy and I’m the top black mage in the entire company. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on Heydalyn. You think you can get away with saying that to me over the Internet? As we speak I am contacting my secret network of scions across Eorzea and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my scepter. Not only am I extensively trained in thaumaturgy, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and I will use it to its full extent to wipe you off the face of Eorzea. I will cast blizzard all over you and you will freeze in it. You’re dead, kiddo.

Shut the servers down and then turn them back on to kick all the AFK players so other people have a chance to log on. Sounds like a solid plan to me.

Its better business to let (i.e.) 1 million people "sample it" than it is to only let 150,000 out of 1 million get to try it, leaving 850,000 pissed off people.

yes????

[herolaine]

Guys are the servers still down at this point ? im not able to get in!

[Omegaxx]

agreed shut the servers down, bring them back up.. Kick all the AFK people let others play

Besides which shutting the servers down for the time being won't help anything development-side. The problems are largely capacity based. If they can run the game and upgrade the servers at the same time - as they've clearly shown they can, stating they only need a single maintenance window on Wednesday to integrate the expanded infrastructure, then surely switching things off until then would be an entirely pointless gesture.

Of course, if they were to (accidentally of course) say.. trip over the safe shutdown button, and then immediately reboot, causing all those people (not)playing while elsewhere to be disconnected.. well, wouldn't that be a shame.

Why does everyone think that kicking the AFK players will solve the problem?

If 1000 people are AFK and 15000 are trying to log in, you're still screwed either way.

Ignorance is awesome isn't it. If you reset the servers all the )*&^% people that are AFK in game will be logged out and the ones that are waiting to play can log in. Thinking about things logically is hard I know but try it sometime. You might surprise yourself.
