Final Fantasy is too popular for its own good – sales are paused

Resume when server chaos has subsided.

During the past year Final Fantasy XIV Spring marked the second, and players flocked to the online role-playing game. This turned out to be both good and bad news, as the servers didn’t have the power to boost players. This becomes even more apparent if possible with the new expansion, EndwalkerReleased a week ago. The interest was enormous, which added to the server stress.

in a new post Naoki Yoshida told that they had made the decision to pause the sale.

Players are currently experiencing extremely long wait times due to the heavy concentration of playing hours that exceed our server capacity, especially during peak times, and that is why we have decided to temporarily put the sale and delivery of Final Fantasy XIV on hold.

Pausing digital sales is one thing, but of course it’s quite another to put an end to the physical part. Yoshi-b, as he’s called, says you’re working as efficiently as possible.

Subscribers were previously promised a free week to repair their wounds, but this has now been expanded to three. On the other hand, free players will only be able to log in at night or early morning. At the moment, the possibility of new free trial recordings is also discontinued.
