I wonder if this is a case of codes running out or them artifically preventing more code purcahses to avoid overloading the server.
It's almost certainly the latter. They talked about expanding the server capacity due to how overloaded it's right now with players.I wonder if this is a case of codes running out or them artifically preventing more code purcahses to avoid overloading the server.
it's likely they don't generate the codes ad-hoc and instead have a specific inventory of them that gets periodically restocked
I believe they already said they were implementing a huge server expansionDoesn't bode well for Endwalker launch week, or month even. They better upgrade their server immediately.
They really didn't expect the burst of popularity to hit them this way. Last year they were prepared for the new players that would come from the enhanced free trial, but these WoW refugees basically sideswiped them.

The chip shortage must not help with this situation.They are working on a multi-million dollar investment in servers. They don't think it will be done by launch though, but they are aware.
Responsible selling. They don't want to overload servers (something that they faced at ARR release, because they underestimated the number of people that wanted to play).
it's this, they are keeping the servers from getting even more overloadedI wonder if this is a case of codes running out or them artifically preventing more code purcahses to avoid overloading the server.
Yeah, I think that's fair to say. If you consider where FFXIV was at 1.0 launch and then compare that to where the game is now? Absolutely.Might be the biggest turnaround in gaming history, especially considering commercial success.
"There are no obstacles for developing the Xbox version. We were able to undertake development and provide our service thanks to the immense efforts that Phil has invested. For that we are truly grateful!Hate to be 'that guy' but does anyone know anything regarding an Xbox version? I heard murmurings....then nothing?
He's playing it now lol
Generally speaking, you can buy XIV right now elsewhere and for cheaper anyway.This was honestly a good move for Square Enix to make. Stop players from joining and scaling their services so that they can ensure they receive an optimal experience.
While normally I would ridicule companies that make digital games sell out (looking at you Nintendo), I think that in this case it's more than acceptable.
Ah....I shan't hold my breath then =_="There are no obstacles for developing the Xbox version. We were able to undertake development and provide our service thanks to the immense efforts that Phil has invested. For that we are truly grateful!
The sole factors are the workload and the order of steps. Now when it comes to the Xbox version, there's unfortunately not much I can say presently but just that we cannot work on all the steps simultaneously and need to follow the order for proceeding with these things. Since we're currently involved in the development of Endwalker and preparing the PS5 version to follow on from the title's service on PS4, it'd be appreciated if we can return to touch upon the Xbox version once things have settled!"
Square Enix: An Xbox version may still be coming for Final Fantasy XIV (update)
Square Enix says the MMORPG has enough content for another five years of expansions.www.windowscentral.com
