5 Million?
Really, where is this data coming from?

There is an article saying over 750,000 copies of FFXIV have been sold to date, but that includes 1.0 (sold in 2010) which seems to be a little over half that number. SE said they were experiencing 300,000 to 350,000 concurrent log ins, while they were prepared to handle about 250,000. Hopefully, they offer free transfers to the new servers for those that want to move, so we can have more room on the crowded servers. Otherwise, our servers will still be full and they will merely be directing new characters to the new servers.

Yeah I know about the 750k copy sold counting also 1.0, so it's like 400k counting only ffxiv arr, and that's really far from the 5 milion
Still they manage to achieve the worst release in mmo history.
