Yea I went out to play cards (MTG) with some friends Friday night. Got home at 2:30am this morning and stayed up till damn shy of 4am constantly updating the server list every 3 minutes. I understand the game is getting good publicity but this is getting stupid fast.
Unless they massively increase infrastructure then they are going to have tons of people stop playing due to not being able to play a product they purchased. That means refunds and lost revenue. That means the second death of FFXIV which I really don't want to see.
Damnit Squenix you can do this.
Edit: I just read the article. This bit caught my eye:

If the results of the internal testing are satisfactory, a large scale maintenance scheduled to happen on Wednesday, September the 4th (Japanese Time) should fix the problems once and for all.
If this is true then we're unlikely to see this till Thursday. Man they better go from considering a free week to giving a free 2 weeks for this. My free time from the welcome back campaign is burning out as it is.
