Final Fantasy XIV is enjoying great success, partly due to its recent release Endwalker expansion. Even though update To reduce server errors and long queue times, players are still struggling to log into the game. So Square Enix just had to go and do it. They have suspended sales of the game, as well as new signups for the free trial version. Even the ads are being stopped for now.
Final Fantasy XIV Starter Edition and Complete Edition sales, as well as those Free Trial subscriptions, will be unavailable for a short time. According to producer and director Naoki Yoshida’s post, “This suspension will be lifted over the next few days as we work with our retail partners.”
Currently, there is no set date for them to return to the store. Yoshida said it will “continue to monitor the situation as we consider when to resume sales.” Collector’s Edition digital upgrades and expansion packs will still be available to existing players, so you can go ahead and upgrade your game with no problem.
Players were recently rewarded with 7 days of free game time to make up for all the server crap. Well, Squeenix is giving 14 more days of free gaming time to apologize further. This bonus will apply to everyone who owns the full version of the game and has an active subscription as of December 21 at 12:00 a.m. PST (that’s 8:00 a.m. GMT and 3 p.m. PT). :00 am EST).
Yoshida also brought us an update on their plans to bolster Final Fantasy XIV’s server infrastructure.
“We are looking at server additions for each region, especially large-scale additions in North America and Europe, and will look at the number of servers, the time to build the infrastructure. floors, power issues and server rack conditions to see if we should do this sequentially or in a big push. Either way, the plan is to introduce some A large number of additions, which we intend to make quickly and safely, with as little inconvenience as possible for our players, and we will monitor this as we progress. the set. “
Square Enix has previously said that their server expansion plans have stalled due to ongoing global hardware shortages.
At the end of January 2022, they also plan to release a server roadmap. No battles or cosmetics in sight – just chat between servers, which sounds pretty cool.
It’s weird to see a game actually removed from stores because it’s so popular. I like to think that Yoshi-P and his team are wiping away tears with a lot of well-deserved Yen. Good luck to you guys, you made a game so popular that you actually had to remove it to sell. It’s metal.
