    Dear FFXIV ARR (SE), This is the real world... Buck Up!

    I read somewhere that the servers hit capacity around 200,000..? This baffled me. How could one of the most recognizable names in the digital gaming industry plan on opening with 200,000 slots available? Have you even been tracking recent news (in the last 10yrs) in the realm of MMO's? Epic failure of 1.0 aside... you are Final Fantasy (SE)! D&D Neverwinter is boasting 2+ million active users. The Elder Scrolls Online has had 3.5 million beta sign ups. WoW has 7.7 million subscribers. Aion has 2.2 million active users. These games have had PCU's (Peak Concurrent User) of 500k-1.5m (2.5m for Fantasy Westward Journey, you remember them right?!?). And you planned for 200,000..?!? Mediocre games are averaging 300k-600k active users with peaks around 60k-80k simultaneous connections.
