Technical Difficulties

[comma]

Well a free week of play isn't a bad way to make up for the troubles.

Cool, thanks for the news, Jiro.

It was difficult enough getting hold of a copy! Online ordering was disabled (and I didn't want to download 12GB via ADSL anyway, it's slow and like a quarter of our monthly cap) and the boxed version is as rare as rocking horse poo. But it's finally on its way...

There's nothing like the excitement of a launch. I remember running around for hours in Everquest after finally getting on, trying to find just one thing alive to kill. People had figured out where each bat spawns and were stood on the spawn points waiting. People were screaming at each other across the shout channel for kill-stealing. It was glorious

Didn't get a chance to try phase 4, but loved 3 and looking forward to playing release.

In a more positive note : FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone | Server Congestion and Trial Period Extensions (09/03/2013)

Didn't see that post, whoops

I know the dev tracker includes devs replying about the issue somew

here...

So I can get on, but seem to have a choice

Full servers
or empty ones
Full servers I can't get into
Or ones where you go to the smegging INN OF UL'DAH and there's NOBODY there!

[Tavrobel]

Most people don't afk at inns.

It should be noted that you don't get to see 'everyone' until a starter quest is completed. Until then you'll be the 'only' player you'll see. Beyond that... the other servers will more than likely fill up pretty efficiently over time, I wouldn't worry about it just yet.

Ohh! I didn't know that, didn't get time to get past the starter stuff last night. That explains it :P
I don't recall that happening during the beta so it fooled me.

I know it was the same in beta phase 3 and 4. I'm not entirely sure about phase 2, and I have no idea about phase 1.

[Cloudane]

I may not recall it happening, but I guess it did

[Aulayna]

Well BoB, you enjoyed it whilst it lasted.

[Implementation of Auto-Logout]
Because there are so many users attempting to login even when the maximum allowed number of concurrent logins has already been reached (in other words when login restrictions are in place) we have now implemented an auto-logout feature. In an attempt to provide as many users as possible a chance to login, characters that appear to be inactive for thirty minutes will be automatically logged out of the game.

30 minutes, huh. Can't even make dinner without losing my entire chat log.

[Del Murder]

Tape an arrow button down on your keyboard.

Can't you export the logs? I remember them touting that you can export them to review "for strategy analysis" and stuff like that.

[Jiro]

Right now my only strategy involves kicking gil sellers in the smurfing balls. God they are annoying.
