Today marks the release of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on both the PS3 and PC and due to overwhelming popular demand for the game, servers are experiencing congestion due to many people logging in at the same time.
Since the early access opened up on Saturday, all servers in North America and Europe have been experiencing server congestion due to so many people trying to log in simultaneously. To prevent the server from crashing, they enforced a limit on how many people can log in to maintain a stable environment, although it annoys so many people since they can’t play. To further prevent the disappointment and madness for future potential customers, Square Enix decided to halt all of the digital sales in order to control how many people can play at the moment.
Here’s the official announcement Square Enix released through their official Facebook Fan Page.
Important Notice About FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn – Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, we are currently experiencing extremely long wait times for users to be able to log in and play. As a temporary measure, we will halt sales of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REALM REBORN’s digital download products so we can accommodate all of those wishing to play. We are working to expand our server capacity in the coming days.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this causes.
