Since the launch of Endwalker, the latest expansion, players FFXIV had to face horribly long queues to be able to join the game, as the servers were always full. While that achievement is quite great for Square Enix, because this game has never been so “hot”, but the problem of bottlenecks is hindering the development of FFXIV in particular and especially for an increasingly popular MMO. variable in general.

On the official blog, Mr. Yoshida wrote: “We apologize for the continuous congestion since Early Access and after the official launch of Endwalker. It’s been almost two weeks since the start of Early Access, but players are still experiencing severe bottlenecks.” As for the temporary suspension of the sale of FFXIV accounts, Mr. Yoshida said: “Players are currently experiencing long wait times due to the dense playtime that far exceeds the server capacity, especially during peak times, so so We have decided to temporarily suspend the sale of FINAL FANTASY XIV Starter Edition and Complete Edition. In addition, we will also suspend new registrations for free demo accounts.”

If you don’t consider the problem of server overload, Endwalker is a great expansion and continues to prolong the popular series of Final Fantasy XIV. Hopefully the above move by Square Enix will ease the overload and the game will be open to newcomers soon.​
