In particular, the increase in NA- and EU-region players over the past two weeks has been both so staggering and unexpected that many players are now having difficulty logging in or creating new characters due to server congestion, and for this we deeply apologize. The population that can be logged in to each World server at one time is capped; however, as some of you have noticed, this cap is not the same for all servers, and differs somewhat between data centers Mana, Aether, Chaos, etc.
This limit determines the overall maximum population of a data center, which is then divided by the number of Worlds in the data center to calculate how many players can be logged in to each World. If a matching server were to overload, it would result in the Duty Finder ceasing to function properly and instability when entering instanced content, hence the importance of login caps.
Differences in login caps occur due to differences in the number of Worlds per data center, as well as differences in matching server performance. As it happens, the matching servers used in the North American data centers were recently upgraded to higher-performance models.
Continued optimization of this new equipment has allowed us, as of July 16, to increase the maximum number of simultaneous logins across the NA data centers by 18,, or approximately per World server. A matching server upgrade for the EU data centers, while currently planned for the immediate future, however, is still pending.
As such, until the upgrade is implemented, it will be difficult for us to raise World login caps to the same degree as those of North American Worlds. That said, the team is currently working hard to optimize existing servers in an attempt to increase the caps, if by a smaller amount, and will endeavor to make continued adjustments and improvements while maintaining game stability. Despite the aforementioned cap increase, over the weekend of July 17 and 18, several North American World servers experienced periods of six to seven hours at maximum login capacity.
As a result, character creation was unavailable for long periods of time, and players faced average login wait times of minutes. For players residing on Worlds in the European data center, weekend login wait times were as high as 40 minutes. We deeply apologize for the situation in both regions. When a World server reaches its maximum capacity, any additional players attempting to log in will be placed in a queue and must wait until a player already on the server logs out before being admitted.
As character creation requires a player to be logged in in order to write the newly created data to the database, new characters cannot be created while the server is full. While we regret having to do so, we would humbly ask two things of our players to ensure that new players have the opportunity to create characters: first, we ask those not actively engaged in the game to log out of their characters rather than remaining logged in while idle.
Second, we request that you avoid creating new characters during peak congestion times. As mentioned above, those who log in while the server is congested may experience login queues, which allow players into the server at a reduced rate in the order that they joined the queue.
When a World experiences a large number of players attempting to log in at once, it may become overloaded and crash. This is best avoided by staggering logins. The second is, as explained earlier, that each World has a maximum login capacity to maintain stability. In such cases, players may only be admitted once others log out.
We ask that you patiently remain in the queue should you encounter wait times. These queues are necessary to ensure that servers remain stable, while providing a safe, fair means for players to enter the game during periods of increased user activity. Please also note that in order to prioritize our paying customers, the login queue is not available to players using the free trial version regardless of whether it occurs due to a surge in logins or a World reaching its capacity.
We once again apologize for the inconvenience, but ask for your understanding on this point. As an emergency measure to combat congestion, we are also planning the early implementation of the auto-logout feature originally slated for the expansion launch. With the release of Patch 5. This feature will be further expanded to address the surge in logins expected for the launch of Endwalker. We understand that this feature will not be the most popular with our players, but would like to assure you that it is an effective means to temporarily combat congestion.
We apologize for any inconvenience its implementation may cause, and thank you for bearing with us to ensure that the game remains accessible during this time. Cancel X.

First you won't buy your wife her favorite donuts because she died once in Orbonne Monastery. Now you won't go by yourself to get groceries, because she was in queue for Alphascape 2.
Why didn't you just go on your own for the groceries? Or you know, queue with her on Scholar or something.
I know you've got Summoner at 80 bro. You could be speeding your wife's queues up. That poor woman.

That way you aren't stuck in a queue until you get a party formed.
Cool so we're going to get a whole new thread every time you have a long queue time? Main Class Summoner Lv Page 1 of 2 1 2 Last Jump to page:. Version 1.
