FFXIV - Dawntrail: Important Launch Information!

Recommended Posts

Launch-Map.jpg

The launch of a new expansion can be quite chaotic, especially with the heavy traffic during early access and the official release of Dawntrail. To that end, we put together a list of important details for you to be aware of!

During both early access and the release, there is a high risk of too many players logging in at the same time, causing worlds to reach their maximum capacity and players to be stuck in endless queues when logging in.

The Final Fantasy XIV team has shared some details regarding possible congestions and other important matters:

  • Login queues: those happen if the world reaches the maximum numbers of players that can log in at the same time. Once you are in the queue, even if it appears to not go down, rest assured that it is working, and do not log out. Canceling the queue will put you back at the end of the list. 
    When a queue is in place, players who own the complete version of the game have priority. Free trial characters will be able to log in once the queue is cleared. This allows the FFXIV team to prioritize paying players.
  • Restrictions on Data center travels:
    • Japanese Data Center: The number of non-Home World characters that can log in will be limited. When a World has reached the maximum number of visiting characters, non-Home World characters that are logged out on that World will be unable to log in, and the World will be unavailable for visitation via Data Center Travel.
    • North American Data Center
      Aether/Primal/Crystal: Will be unavailable for travel.
      Dynamis: Will remain available for travel, and the maximum number of traveling characters will be increased compared to usual.
    • European Data Center: Chaos/Light: Will be unavailable for travel.
      Shadow: Will be open to travel, with temporary Worlds which may be helpful login destinations when other Worlds are experiencing high congestion.
  • Restriction on World visiting:
    • Japanese Data Center: The number of non-Home World characters that can log in will be limited. When a World has reached the maximum number of visiting characters, non-Home World characters that are logged out on that World will be unable to log in, and the World will be unavailable for visitation via the World Visit system.
    • North American Data Center
      Aether/Primal/Crystal: The World Visit System will be unavailable.
      Dynamis: The World Visit System will remain available, and the maximum number of characters that can visit via the system will be increased.
    • European Data Center
      Chaos/Light: The World Visit System will be unavailable.
      The World Visit System will remain available on the Shadow Data Center. The maximum number of characters that can visit via the system will be increased.
    • Oceanian Data Center
      The World Visit System will remain available as usual.

Please keep in mind that if you are on another world prior to patch 7.0, you should return to your home world before the maintenance begins, as any server traffic/queue created by the expansion's release will prevent you from returning to your home world.

  • Error 2002: this error will occur in order to prevent servers from crashing. If you encounter it, please try to log in again some time later. 
  • Error 90002/90006 During Gameplay: those errors are usually network connection errors. if they occur, check your network connection status. In general those occur for wifi connection, so we advise you use a wired internet connection if you can. 
  • After 30 minutes of inactivity, players will be logged out automatically.

      Producer and Director of Final Fantasy XIV Naoki Yoshida has shared a notice regarding the use of third-party programs and player safety. Learn more about it here!
      Recent events have revealed that some players where using third-party programs in order to check Final Fantasy XIV character information that usually can not be displayed during normal game play.
      In response, the producer and director has released a statement on the matter:
      Placeholder for tweet 188273028630124184 Yoshi-P and the FFXIV team have confirmed that indeed, there is existing third-party tools that seem to be able to gather character information that is normally not displayed in game.
      The tool is being used to reveal a segment of an FFXIV character's internal account ID alongside other informations, on characters on the same FFXIV service account as the person using the program.
      The Development and Operations teams are aware of the situation, and are discussing the following options:
      Requesting that the tool in question is removed and deleted. Pursuing legal action. Aside from character information that can be checked in-game and on the Lodestone, concerns have been raised that personal information, such as address and payment data, could also be exposed. Rest assured that it is not possible to access these informations using this third-party tools.
      Yoshi P and his team want to maintain a safe environment for players, and they ask everyone to refrain from using any of those programs. They will not refrain from taking legal actions.
      It is also a good time to remember to never share informations about third-party tools, their installation methods, or how to use them.
      The use of third-party tools is prohibited by the FINAL FANTASY XIV User Agreement. The FFXIV team will continue to take a firm stance against their usage.
