Odin crashed Balmung.

[Xieveral]

I was in the area where Odin spawned but there was no Odin, no players, no NPCs or mobs just an empty area that was marked blue on the map. Then disconnect and 10-15 minutes of errors, queues and more errors. People outside the zone probably suffered lag and disconnects because so many people were switching zones or logging in with the hope to participate.

I managed to participate in the fight a few days ago but players and Odin kept phasing out, making it difficult to meet the criteria for gold (not that I would have gotten it due to my level) There were many complaints about only earning silver despite fighting the entire duration.

Its very frustrating and SE should have anticipated the number of players that would want to participate in these kind of fate events (that goes for a lot of other things too...). Due to the potential rewards they are not the type that people will pass up or wait for later.
