AFTER 10 HOURS SERVERS FULL??

Does this apply to new character creation as well? In the "Regarding Character Creation Restrictions (Sep. 4)" thread, they closed new character creation on Hyperion, which is where ALL of my friends are playing.

Everyone is so afraid of a repeat of the servers being full a lot of them planned to jump on and stay logged in so they wouldn't be the ones possibly stuck with 1017. Squee knows people are like that and rightly put restrictions so the hardware can be monitored carefully. Better this than a complete hardware crash like what happened long ago to another MMO where EVERY FREAKIN THING ON THE SERVER WAS LOST PERMANENTLY. People need to realize that if the increased caps aren't enough and problems return Squee has already discussed the idle kick topic we have on the forums and may be willing to implement that quickly. If every single person playing would stop trying to get on so they can then go to work/school/get a pedicure, manicure, and hair color we might get a stable system in which players would be happy. People seem to be eager to shoot themselves in the foot and/or display their lack of patience.

One of my favorite sayings is "Lack of patience leads to hospital patients." Some of you need to put down the mega mug of caffeine and chill. All I can guess is some players want to race to 50 in their free month and then declare they conquered the game and post on a blog how they rule and no MMO can contain their awesomeness. To those players I say this, have fun on X box One playing Call of Duty.

NA servers are also the first choice for South America players, so we get 3 continents on the same boat I guess

It goes further than that, EU players also roll onto servers not ear marked as being for EU players.
Because really with the server set up it really doesn't matter what server you roll on, same location same ping.

I've seen french and german FC's as well as NA.
The servers are totally mixed.

This is true and I apologize for my comment.

Meanwhile, during the duration of the stated restrictions, my trial days will continue to tick down for a product I haven't even played yet. Speaking of which, mine is still sitting at 23 days, where's the 7 days that they said they'd give immediately following maintenance?

Some need to relax.
They added something new to their server so yes stress testing is needed

You don't put a new piece of equipment in a car w/o testing do you?

I understand frustration


So...lets just hope as the day goes on their upgrades actually fix the.problem and they unlock the servers

Im also on Ultros since CB.

My GF brought the download edition at launch, and joined me on Ultros on the 2nd day of live play.

Your just not trying hard enough, the restrictions come up and go down.

This is what I'm having trouble understanding: "if those login numbers still surpass the maximum number of possible logins in the various Worlds, please be aware that we will continue to implement login restrictions."

Why would you reduce the login numbers below the server's intended login capacity? Why intentionally lock out customers you admit your servers can handle?

Also: "Although it is possible to add several new Worlds due to load balancing on servers, an increased number of players able to login simultaneously to various Worlds, and New Character Creation being possible again on various Worlds as a result of this maintenance, we will only be adding a minimal number of Worlds at this time directly after maintenance."

Does anyone else interpret this as basically saying, "We didn't feel like paying for new servers, so we just jimmied the load balancing a little and took bandwidth from the overcrowded worlds and allocated it to new, empty worlds"? Seems to me that'd actually make the problem worse as bandwidth is being diverted from the overpopulated worlds that need MORE bandwidth and server capacity over to new, empty worlds that most certainly do not. I get the feeling that this is sorta nothing more than slapping a Band-Aid on a gaping chest wound.
