This doesn't give me a lot of hope for getting onto Balmung, as there's no mention of server capacity getting better. So, anyoen else have insight to this I'm missing? Is there any hope of still getting on Balmung? Because after pulling an all-nighter and other late nights leading up to and over the weekend, the server doesn't seem to be opening up ever.
So, I had wondered about this until someone actually explained it on skype last night. The problem with server capacity, apparently, is that the duty servers are actually the ones causing the problem. So they've put a cap on all the servers to keep the people using the duty servers to a manageable level. Once they upgrade the duty servers, they'll be able to use the regular servers to the capacity that they were built for - which is a lot higher than they are current set at.
That's why the message indicates that they are upgrading the duty servers but not the regular servers because the regular servers actually aren't the problem. And it means that after the data center has been upgraded (which is primarily intended to upgrade the duty servers), then they'll be able to raise the cap and hopefully unlock the other servers to allow more people to play.
I hope this helps I didn't see anyone else explaining this. And I can't promise I did a really good job, but that's my understanding.
