Recently, we have experienced record user numbers in all regions, with a vast amount of new players beginning their adventures. This increase is not only limited to the global version (served by the Japanese, North American, and European data centers) but also the locally operated Chinese and Korean versions as well. Player Population GrowthĪs mentioned above, FINAL FANTASY XIV is currently experiencing a dramatic increase in its player base. The message is a long one, so please bear with me. Today, I would like to go into detail about the server congestion resulting from this influx and the steps we are taking to address it.
Expectations for 6.0 are high and have resulted in an increased interest in FINAL FANTASY XIV-especially in North America and Europe, where we are currently experiencing an extreme influx of new players. Greetings FINAL FANTASY XIV players! This is your producer & director, Naoki Yoshida.įirst and foremost, I would like to extend my thanks to all of you for your continued support!ĭevelopment on our latest expansion pack Endwalker continues as we focus on implementing content and transitioning to the check and polish phase. Yoshida-san mentioned an increase in simultaneous login caps, the implementation of an automatic logout process, the creation of new servers, and more.
To address the situation, Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida published an extensive message on the Lodestone website, both taking on responsibility for the issues, and explaining what Square Enix is doing to mitigate them. While some would say that this isn’t a bad problem to have, this is causing issues for existing players, who often have to wait quite a bit in the queue to manage to log in, and this is months before the coming of the new expansion Endwalker, which will likely increase population even further. Square Enix has been finding itself in a bit of a pickle with Final Fantasy XIV in recent weeks, with the servers exploding due to a massive influx of new players.
