Who wants to bet that we still have 1017 after maintenance?

If the game is not fixed in the next 3 days, i'll quit from all SE products. No jokes, no kiddies, no rages... just ill move to another game where europeans are important (like japanese are in this game).

Yes, I do expect that we'll have 1017. Part of the good timing for the patch is that the JP region will be in its prime time when maintenance ends. SE said in the announcement they would be very careful about how many people they allow in at first. They need to control things so they can monitor the new system under load, and determine its actual safe maximum capacity:

When Worlds do finally reopen after the maintenance, we expect a rush of players trying to log back in. To prevent any further login issues, we will be using the utmost caution when restarting each World. Please understand that there may be some congestion at this time.

I have faith that everything will be fine by the end of the week!

Well call it wishful thinking...

Per today's Maintenance notification from Yoshida.

"To resolve this issue, we will be performing maintenance from September 3, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. to September 4, 2013, at 3:00 a.m (PDT), for the purpose of increasing the number of available Worlds, reducing stress on the Duty Finder servers, and increasing the number of concurrent logins allowed for each server."

Uh, you might want to read them again, because it DOES state that they're increasing world capacity.

"...and increasing the concurrent number of logins allowed on each server."

To be fair, in corporate speak that might be just a different way of saying "relaxing the login restrictions" that sounds better.

Thing is while adding new server will help cause new players can go to those... We still will have TONS of players on the older servers which means problems could still go on. That's why they should allow those wanting to transfer to a new server do so.

Some players won't want to stay on a over crowded server and most won't want to start all over. So allowing transfers now would really help.

Totally agree, I'd be willing to xfer my toon to a new server if it meant I could log in when I wanted to play. The fact is I'm 50, with a few 20-30 crafts and I'm not willing to scratch everything I worked for already. I'm on adamantose and I don't see this maintenance fixing the problem.

As it stands I've had a simple num0 macro spamming for the last 3 hours with zero success
