Can't even get that far - lobby server's melted down with the fact it's a long weekend in the US.

They've still not fixed that yet for 14? Glad I haven't got it yet then tbh.

Apparently, according to people who still play XI with me, the Japanese servers are all fine, but I don't know if that's true.

Sounds horrid but the perception from the NA community is that the JP data centre is having it easier. However they play at opposite ends of the clock so they don't see the problems during JP peak time, plus the language barrier means a lot of the JP forum discontent doesn't get migrated across either.

Meant to be a big 10 hour maintenance tomorrow adding new worlds and tweaking server loads for instanced fights which they claim will fix things and mean they can remove the login restrictions which are people's real issue- I don't mind clicking to login and having to sit in a queue, I can go make a cuppa, window out and read the news or whatever, its the repeatedly having to retry logins that's annoying people and hammering the lobby servers.

I'm playing Splinter Cell Blacklist xbox 360. I was a hardcore Splinter cell Pandora tomorrow player and Chaos Theory player, and feel that Ubisoft have redeemed themselves with the multiplayer. Spent many enjoyable hours completing single player on perfectionist, all I need is the SvM weekly challenge achievement and thats the game maxed, but will be playing it as much as possible (so long as mrs doesn't want to watch anything) haha

Currently playing Rift as it's F2P... Console activity is limited to the wii and although I've unlocked everything - resident evil is always fun (particularly after a stressful day)..

Not forgetting Candy Crush Saga and Marvel Avengers on fb

We're going to get Outlast tomorrow and have a scare fest!

My issue with tomorrow's maintenance on FFXIV (apart from the fact that I have the next three days booked off work specifically to PLAY this damned game!!) is this:

How is adding NEW servers going to solve the problem of the CURRENT servers being oversubscribed and overcrowded?? Yes, it will once they begin server migration but that's not touted until mid/late September.

So sure, the players that bought the game at launch - who have so far barely even been able to create a character - will, once the new worlds are added, have a world to begin on but those of us who've had a world since Early Access will still continue to experience the problems that have beset us until today. How many will accept that this is going to be the case until migration dates are announced? At the very least IMO migration should be free to try to appease those of us who've wasted a LOT of time and been unable to play the game we've paid for.

Mr Sessie and I (and a RL friend) as well as a number of FFXI friends are all on the verge of just quitting - or certainly just going away and playing something else for a month until all of this dies down.

Square Enix have failed HUGELY with this launch - it remains to be seen whether enough people continue to persevere and actually see what a brilliant, improved game it is from the first failure before it's too late.

SUCH a shame this has happened because once you DO get on, it's astounding.

Well I decided to get Black ops 2. I have never been that interested in playing Cod Multiplayer as being shot to death by a 15 yrs old foul mouthed American strangely doesn't appeal to me! However to show my fellow work pals that I am a man who likes manly things I thought I would give it ago and I can confirm that I am utter useless!

Oh well.... Practice makes perfect!
