FFXIV RR: Sales suspended

Wow! Guess a lot of people were waiting for a new MMO to play. I was going to download Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and play it this weekend, but here’s the message from Square Enix:

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, we are currently experiencing extremely long wait times for users to be able to log in and play. As a temporary measure, we will halt sales of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REALM REBORN’s digital download products so we can accommodate all of those wishing to play. We are working to expand our server capacity in the coming days.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this causes. 

Yeah, that’s a bit of a disappointment, but good for them. It’s an indication a lot of gamers needed a new MMO, but beyond that it means there’s still strong support for the Final Fantasy franchise.

From all reports they’ve fixed most of the problems with this game, so it’s worthwhile to be patient and buy it as soon as possible.

Hope to see you in the game, soon.

Ciao
