Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker da record
Player injection due to Endwalker was correctly predicted by Square Enix, although the studio warned it would bring a number of problems, such as the extremely long queues to play that we’ve seen over the past few days. Thanks to the great hype behind the expansion, Endwalker has brought with it a lot of congestion server, forcing the players to wait very long.
Not surprisingly on Twitter, the current trend is to share your current position in the queue. While some find themselves waiting behind thousands of other users, others are reporting being banned via error messages after waiting for hours in line, a sign that perhaps Square Enix wasn’t expecting such a large number of active players at the same time.
Beyond these technical issues, it is not that Final Fantasy 14 is in the midst of a very important period. the game, thanks to Endwalker, almost succeeded duplicate the total number of its users in a matter of days. An incredible closure to say the least for the MMO, which will end its support with Endwalker after many years of honorable service.
If you are a fan of FF XIV, however, we advise you to arm yourself with a healthy dose of patience, since being able to join a session may not be exactly the easiest of undertakings.
