If you’ve tried playing Final Fantasy XIV in Europe or North America, you are likely fully acquainted with the extended length of downtime and maintenance period on the related server clusters. A large number of players were completely unable to log in on Sunday, and the problems with heavy loads continue to plague FFXIV’s servers. FFXIV’s producer, Naoki Yoshida, has posted an apology on the official forums in response to the ongoing issues, noting that while many of the login bugs have been fixed, there is still problems related to heavy traffic that must be attended to. Unfortunately for eager players, it looks like the login restrictions will not be going right away.
Although we have successfully addressed a number of serious issues in the past several days, we have nevertheless decided to implement login restrictions for the time being due to the extremely heavy load being placed upon the servers. In this way, we can ensure that the maximum number of players can play the game without risking a server crash. I know no one wants to wait to log in, but I hope you all understand why we believe this precaution is necessary.
