Endwalker launch was a huge success. So successful that Yoshi-P and team is now stopping sales of FFXIV and giving away 14 day of free game time. They also uncovered new bugs related to Error 2002.

Big "stop praying for my grandfather, he is becoming too powerful" energy.
Just deploy the servers on the Amazon clouds 4head
its the long term players that kept FFXIV alive from the start in 1.0 so this is the right choice. 🙂
Once again I have to say that ffxiv had the biggest redemption ark in the history of mmos. What started as a mediocre at best mmo quickly became more than that. It became a memorable journey. We celebrated, we cried, we got angry, we were content. And now that the final dlc is out we look to see what Yoshi P has in store for us next.
Not having the extra servers ready to go was really a SE failure.
Tbh they should have stopped sales on EW launch considering we were already seeing several hour long login queues during early access
I'm just thinking -after watching the 1.0 documentary-, of the team that are still here now years later from the failure launch of 1.0.
But then witnessing today's version – its ultimate success to the point where the game is TOO popular from its praises. It must be kinda mind-blowing!
So refreshing to see a dev studio so dedicated to ensuring a great player experience above all else.
Nah it’s not a bug, just debt paying from the 1.0 era. Back then 1.0 was losing players and the problem was not that profound, and moderate scale login restrictions makes sense in the code. But when you have over 25 million players and 10s of thousands of players trying to login at the same time, the problem in the code is starting to show. My guess is they got the code team scrambling to change the codes for the past week or so.
The problem with the team now is to face the issues that have been there since 1.0 era and hopefully they will start phasing out stuff if they want the game to continue with the success.
At first I was a bit angry regards server congestion. It is still my belief that its one of the rare times SE screwed up royaly. These servers should have been in place pre COVID during ShB. Ironically the hard to get in to game dilemma could be the best marketing that's happened to them.
Gotta respect YoshiP and FF XIV team here.
Giving free days, pull back everything that may lead to influx of new players including freakin' advertisement when Christmas and New Year definitely coming soon might as well considered as suicide move for a lot of game devs, SE is no exception.
Not only he and the team will have to go back to the meeting table, managing schedule, checking patch and preparing countermeasure on long run as he can't afford future update patch hindered, but also being responsible to weird situation of minimum sales of Endwalker for last leg of 2021.
Yet, he's willing to bet on community goodwill and Endwalker itself being culmination of 10 years teamworks that it will stand strong through test of time.
Hopefully he and the team able to get enough rest, having fun taking vacation before moving to next story arc. Really, thank you for all your hardworks and dedication.
Hi, payers, this is S. Jastice. I just want to say my condolences to the payers at F.F.X.1.V that the Endwalker expansion is flopping so hard that they have to stop selling it like Cyberpunk 2077. But for those people who are disappointed, World of Fruitbowl will always be there for you!!! We have a rainbow of colored mounts with a 0.1 % drop rate waiting for you to grind!!! Or you can buy them in our convenient store for a low low price of 199.99 dallars for a loot box that may or may not contain them, what a steal!!.
Game doing so damn well they show to the world they will stop sells during the Christmas holiday. Big mic drop from SE and the FF team to other game developers and publishers.
I don't think them putting a stop to marketing will help. With their boom of popularity and the fact that most players are walking advertisements for the game, they are probably still going to grow despite it. xD
I love seeing a development team broadcast the values they put in the game and doing what they think is right over what gives profit.
FFXIV#1
Odd considering how greedy SE has become.
FFXIV team must have a good amount of sway
"We must merge all the sundered servers into one mega server" – the Ascians probably
This is why ff14 is popular. This is why the game is loved by millions. This dev team is the team others should aspore to be
well, if they don't want me to play their game I won't then I guess.
well when you dont have that many servers of course you're going to run into this prob lol
I just started last Saturday but I wasn't able to get into the game because all the servers were full. Luckily a few days ago I was able to finally log my character in and see a que time. Guess like I just barely made it into the game on time Lol.
I don't deserve the 14 days extra as i never have queues at the time i play lol.
as far as i remember, this is unheard of anywhere anytime in the MMO world tbh~ so yeah, again I know I'm biased, but damn yoshi P and team really earned my respect
"Too successful". Such a weird narrative. I love the game and its devs, but I just can't get behind this.
I know many have different views on this but I suggest buying some items on the item e-shop. Even if it's a small $5 item, just show how much we like the game and the devs.
I've always loved final fantasy but I can't get into ff14 but I would buy the game just to support such good practices.
haha I "just" bought the game and transferred it from a trial account to full game 2 days ago. I was going to wait a month and let the queue chill but I was like nah, christmas event pets! lol Also I play at like 2-3am and the queue is rarely over 50 so no big deal. Glad the game is doing well though about time I played something so regularly and it's not dead or crapped on daily. Js.
Black Market selling FF14 Gamekeys!
I totally get it, I just want more of the game. Im now working on SCH/SMN since im done with Warrior and story. I thought the queues would be better after two weeks but nope, but I get it, everone wants to play as badly as me lol
While it's sad that it makes it harder for free trail people. There are people who are most likely on the free trial logging in every day to just AFK at Limsa. Those people in my opinion are more of an issue than the people who are new to the game and haven't gotten to Stormblood yet.
I havent logged in for 3 weeks now. Ill wait till the hype dies down. Also my pc just died. RIP 6 year pc.
We will have a commend from S. Jastice ? 🙂
i might break my not buying shop items to support Yoshi decision to stop sales by buying some emotes, glams or mounts
I can't help but feel cheated now that I was never able to play Heavensward without completing ARR, and now that I did complete the MSQ, I still can't play EW due to the queue. I paid the money. Why can't I at least do the MSQ parts that don't require other players? So twice I have tried to play a current xpac, and twice my money was taken, but I'm still looking for the first delivery of the product I purchased.
I myself had a work arround for the queue issues
By giving me free time I will stop queuing during peak hours since I'm not in hurry to finish msq. Gonna play other games I got during peak hours and open a slot for someone else
SE is giving away like $20 million in gametime. That couldn't have been an easy decision to make for the company.
Iconic 👏🏻
That shirt you're wearing is amazing Quazii.
I haven't been experiencing error 2002 the last few times. I've safely stepped away for half an hour without a problem
