Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

Actual launch day is going to be hilarious. inb4 50% of the playerbase cancels subs

They should just cancel the game and rerelease it 6 months later.

Or cancel the game an rerelease it 2 years later

oh wait

Don't need that long. It's not the game , its their shitty infrastructure. Not sure how long it takes to move things from one hardware to another, but I assume its measured in days, maybe weeks.

The patch that fixes all the log-in/duty server issues will also probably nerf the Armory EXP bonus down to what it's supposed to be, just as a little nut-tap.

I've personally been playing planetside and payday 2 all day since I had nothing to do today. I wish I could play but oh well! Are you playing FF Cinge?

This has been the best mmo launch ever. I fixed my bike, my apartment is spotless, went grocery shopping, had a jog. Need more launches like this and I could be considered a responsible adult.

Can't even create a character on ANY NA servers, lafeifjwegfaggre

Not atm, I can't get past world full. But I did get a shit ton around the house and ran some errands ;P Probably wont be able to log in till late tonight when people log off.

Server caps are one thing, but to reduce the cap, by quite a lot it seems, days later(counting p4) effectively cutting off big chunks of players is not very smart and the first time I have ever seen it done

Telling you, NA players should storm the JP servers and see if the problems pop up there. If they don't, well that would be hilarious and se would get roasted, if they do, maybe it grabs SEs attention to spend some money to upgrade.

has anyone successfully logged in to gilga since 2pm PST?

This week I learned that Square Enix

1.) are confused that NA and the EU are actually different places.
2.) greatly underestimate the population of Not Japan.
3.) are apparently Xzibit fans, with the way you have queue while you queue after you register while you register.

I'm kind of surprised they haven't patched in a login screen ability bar. Maybe get a new hat or something every 10,000 clicks.

About how much European Legacy players are out there?

Depending on which point of data, that?s hard to answer, I?ll just say there are about same amount of Legacy players as Japans. The most is NA, which is about twice the amount of Japan.

#2. If you read Reinhearts translationthreadyou'll find that they know that EU legacy players make up about the same amount of japanese players. And that NA has twice that figure. So the NA/EU combined are putting 3x the load on the same amount of servers. GG.

Cause I don't play on any other server, and don't give a fuck

I want to be mad about this but I'm not. I just can't explain it. It's actually funny as hell to me. Maybe it's because I know the game isn't the 'next big thing'. Maybe it's because it's SE and there is just a level of ineptitude that I expect. I can't wait till the 27th. Will have to get the popcorn out for that.

I see waiting a few hours didn't change anything, login, get the 1017 error. Only thing now is what's going to be the compensation to early access users.
