Perhaps you've heard of a little game called Final Fantasy 14, which has seen such a boom in player count that it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:recently ha🍰d to close off some data centers. Be🌟fore the popularity surge got too out of control, Square Enix had plans for cross data center travel, but now those plans are being pushed back.
Final Fantasy 14's Endwalker expansion will still usher in a new era of cross data center travel, you just won't get to experience it on launch. The system's features aren't all public just yet, but it was expected to allow you and your friends to party up regardle💝ss of which server you called ho🍃me (so folks on Primal could go visit their friends in Aether, for instance).
Now, it looks like that function will come in a patch post version 6.0. During the MMO's most recent Live Letter, director and producer Naoki Yoshida explai🔯ned that he and the team felt it was best to focus on keeping things stable for the launch of Endwalker, and adding a new data center travel system posed too many risks. "We're still recording a record number of log-ins," Yoshida said. "We anticipate more people coming in with the launch."
Yoshida and his team are working on how to keep servers stable through the stress, and once again highlighted how difficult it is to expand and improve infrastructure during a ha🔯rdware shortage largely caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The director also noted that the automated logout feature♐ will stay as the servers struggle to keep up with increased demand.
Final Fantasy 14 announced its Endwalker expansion back in February of this year, and players have flocked to Eorzea ever since. Yoshida has remained transparent on the team's issues surrounding server demand, and outlined how his team is trying to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:keep up with the "staggering" spike in popularity.
Recently, Square Enix held 🔴a stress test for servers in Japan as the game gears up for its Endwalker update. The expansion will begin its 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:early access weekend on November 19.
