Regarding Results of Maintenance (Sep. 4)

[Starlord]

I just felt since people don't choose to read ( or just choose to not find it @.@) I'll make an thread about it here!

-Login Restrictions
In the time period just after maintenance has completed, we predict a rush of characters logging in simultaneously. In order to prevent any technical difficulties due to this login rush, we will be temporarily placing severe login restrictions. These login restrictions may occur frequently, lasting from a few minutes to ten minutes; however, restrictions will be lifted in a gradual manner as login status is carefully monitored. We ask for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Furthermore, as a result of the countermeasures taken to alleviate stress on the Duty Finder servers, we expect to be able to increase the number of players able to login simultaneously; however, 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.

-Regarding Limits on New Character Creation As a result of this maintenance, it is now possible to accommodate an increased number of simultaneous logins in the various Worlds; therefore, we have now lifted the New Character Creation restrictions in the majority of Worlds in which restrictions were in effect. New players who are just starting a game or those who would simply like to create a new character can do so by finding a World which has had the restrictions lifted, and creating a character there.

Please note that there is a tendency for characters to become concentrated in certain Worlds, causing login numbers to jump up in those particular Worlds. In order to create a population balance between Worlds, we will continue to be implementing New Character Creation restrictions in overly congested Worlds.

We will monitor the situation, and in the event restrictions may be lifted, follow-up news posts will be posted. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and ask for your patience and understanding.

-Addition of New Worlds
With this maintenance, preparation for the addition of new Worlds has been completed.

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.

At this time, the following new Worlds have been added.

*Japan Data Center
-Pandemonium

*North American/European data center
-Famfrit/Lich (Europe-recommended World)

Please note that, after a new World opens, we predict players will be concentrated in that specific World. In order to create a population balance, please be aware that we will be implementing New Character Creation restrictions or login restrictions in overly congested Worlds.

We will continue with the addition of new Worlds as we monitor the login situation and public opinion in real time, and updates of any new Worlds will be posted.

I mean come on people, once the " everyone trying to log in at once thing" blows over, meaning people go about there lives and come back when they are ready to play, not " I'll log in RIGHT AFTER maint." and everyone does this, of course you are going to see login restrictions.

I also said before that this maint, won't be the magic button the fixes everything, it will probably take another 2 more emergency maint. before the server issues/congestion goes away.

I put my faith in SE and did not log in this morning before I went to work. I hope I can get in later.

Normally I'd have trouble getting onto Leviathan even at this hour, but I was able to hop right in without a single problem.

Still cannot log into MASAMUNE. As usual... for the pass 3 days. The so call "queue" kicked me out, after showing I'm 32 in the queue....

I'm on Masamune, and I get on every times ( yes sometimes it takes 10-20 tries to get in but I do get in) 27 ACN 26 CNJ 25 THM.

First time trying to login:

Queue in line: 76

( All the servers are updating and my character is appearing a lot quicker than it usually does around JP prime time)<----- I consider this maint. a success. Normally it can take from 30 secs to 2 min for my character to even appear.
