Why has every server been congested and marked Legacy for over a week?

[NebbyOtt]

At first I figured it was just from the new update rush and it would go back to normal in a few days, but its been over a week now and nothing has changed, my friends really wanna try FFXIV and I really want to move around to get better deals from the market place. I know its not normal congestion status because its literally every server thats not in the Dynamis center, and every server in the Dynamis center is free and open so, what's going on? Is this normal for expansion releases?

Yes, but compared to Shadowbringers and-especially Endwalker with it's queues of over 20k people- folks can at least get into the game.

Yes, it sucks that congestion is a thing but it is what it is.

What was the reason for DT to have a lower congestion compare to the previous two expacs btw?

They were more prepared this time around for the congestion. They allowed Data centers to be visited like Dynamis, Shadow and Meteor depending on what region your in. Having a lot of servers that don't exactly have a high player population being able to go to without too many issues was kinda big. We didn't have that in Shb or EW really. There might another reason but i know that is one of them

Not a problem they also added more capacity is seems like in general to the servers and they are more strict with the AFK kick timers currently. so that is some thing else that is contributing.

They will probably reopen some of them here soon. If not by 7.01 or 7.05, then certainly by the time 7.1 roles around they will remove the AFK kick restriction and reclassify many of the worlds.
