Endwalker was released a few weeks ago in Final Fantasy XIV and while the servers seem to be recovering from their emotions after days of congestion, the team has decided to give more information on what is coming in the future.
Between news about new data centers, worlds and updates, Naoki Yoshida has announced that players will soon be able to purchase the game again.
This decision follows directly on from the forthcoming opening of the Data Center in Oceania, therefore serving local players who would not have been able to enjoy the new server without being able to buy the game.
The team still has reservations, saying it could stop sales again at any time if the situation becomes problematic again.
Here’s the full explanation from the game’s team:
The resumption of the sale of downloadable versions of the game, currently not accessible to new players, will take place on January 25 at 9:00 am (Paris time). Here are the reasons behind this choice:
- The opening of the new Oceania data center will allow the increase in the number of players.
- We want new players living in the Oceania region to be able to start playing in the best conditions.
- We want existing players to return to normal login habits.
However, please note that in the event of continued significant congestion, we will consider suspending sales again. We understand that some of you may find this premature, as some Worlds are still very congested during peak hours, but we appreciate your understanding.
In addition, the free trial download will also be reinstated as the situation evolves.
