FF14 is probably the biggest MMO on the market and them upgrading/adding more servers took a delay of over a YEAR because they couldn't literally get new hardware anywhere even when they were begging for it and saying they would play higher than the normal market price. You have to be realistic how fast the dev team can actually respond to this new traffic
Sheesh.. you act as if people have been asking for a miracle. Pandemic? Semi conductor shortage? Yes, that is surely why the servers are in this current state they've been in for over a year now. SSG's provider ordered a whole new set of server infrastructure, but first there was ship blocking Suez canal, then there's Covid, now there's Ukraine.. I'm sure the ship carried the parts, the captain caught Covid while anchored in the canal, crew quarantained for 6 months and now that the parts finally reached the factory in Ukraine, the plant got shut down by Russian ******

Or.. or.. it just doesn't affect enough people or the gains do not outweigh the losses or.. or... or...

Pandemic and shortage... come on.
