While it is true they split groups they really only split it down the middle, and hopefully since they're will be more active players instead of afk's (fingers crossed) it should work better.

-Alleviating Stress on Duty Finder Servers
This maintenance has implemented countermeasures to alleviate the stress on servers. Previously, matching took place across all servers in the various region data centers, but following this maintenance, matching will now take place within the selected groups below.

*North American/European Data Centers
-Group 1
Adamantoise/Balmung/Cactuar/Diabolos/Exodus/
Goblin/Hyperion/Lamia/Malboro/Moogle/Odin/
Ragnarok/Siren

-Group 2
Behemoth/Cerberus/Coeurl/Excalibur/Faerie/
Gilgamesh/Leviathan/Midgardsormr/Phoenix/
Sargatanas/Shiva/Ultros

Sucks Balmung and Gilgamesh are in separate groups though

-Login Restrictions
In the time period just after maintenance has completed, we predict a rush of characters logging in simultaneously. In order to prevent any technical difficulties due to this login rush, we will be temporarily placing severe login restrictions. These login restrictions may occur frequently, lasting from a few minutes to ten minutes; however, restrictions will be lifted in a gradual manner as login status is carefully monitored. We ask for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Furthermore, as a result of the countermeasures taken to alleviate stress on the Duty Finder servers, we expect to be able to increase the number of players able to login simultaneously; however, if those login numbers still surpass the maximum number of possible logins in the various Worlds, please be aware that we will continue to implement login restrictions.
So yes login restrictions will still be in effect so that the login server won't crash when everyone thats been waiting to play logs in at one time. But...

-Regarding Limits on New Character Creation
As a result of this maintenance, it is now possible to accommodate an increased number of simultaneous logins in the various Worlds; therefore, we have now lifted the New Character Creation restrictions in the majority of Worlds in which restrictions were in effect. New players who are just starting a game or those who would simply like to create a new character can do so by finding a World which has had the restrictions lifted, and creating a character there.

Please note that there is a tendency for characters to become concentrated in certain Worlds, causing login numbers to jump up in those particular Worlds. In order to create a population balance between Worlds, we will continue to be implementing New Character Creation restrictions in overly congested Worlds.

We will monitor the situation, and in the event restrictions may be lifted, follow-up news posts will be posted. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and ask for your patience and understanding.

They still increased the size of the servers so they can hold more people now. The login server issues and world size issues are separate. They are limited how many people can login on at one time but as they day goes on and concurrent hits lower more people will be able to get on.

Give it until peak hours you'll see.

This was because they hadn't upgraded the servers to hold the population yet. Though an afk timer maybe be needed to completely solve the issue, the larger population size means more people on and hopefully less afker's. => Alleviating the login issues since there will not be thousands of people spamming 0 and repeatedly trying to login which causes greater stress on the login server.

I guess I'm the only one getting an "Unable to complete version check" error after the maintenance? not even replacing the boot folder works this time >_<

You may have already tried this; when I got this yesterday it took a reboot for the problem to go away. I don't know if that fixed it or whether it was fixed at Square's end during the time I took to do the reboot.

I've rebooted my comp, but the problem remains. I think I just need to replace my boot folder files with those from someone whose client has patched successfully today. Someone from the Skype chat is sending their files to me, I hope they work ;w;

(I initially tried replacing the files with an outdated boot folder, so I guess that's why it didn't work).

It could also be that the patch servers are being hit so hard at the moment that the error message (the numbers can be different) might mean you can't connect to it.

Fingers crossed and keep trying.

It worked! Game is finally patching ^^
If anyone gets the same error, at least now we know how to solve it.

This happened to me while I was halfway through a dungeon, at about the same time... and it seemed like I was with some decent randoms Cactuar

Half an hour ago I'm just about to create an alt... and here I am with no alt at all, and inaccessible main character as well as 3102 blocks the door Cry

Still a loong long way for a smooth play, eh.

Well now it's truly an official fail launch. I was with them for a while but not adding an afk kick an seeing people get errors that kick them from the game and their characters remain in game indefinitely making it impossible for them to log back in really seals the deal on this one.

I'm starting to slowly float onto that boat you're on.. I keep trying to remain positive and believe SE will fix it.. but a problem always comes up after they 'fix' something it seems.

Been at it all day and still Balmung has not opened up for me to create a character. This is stinks, as all my RP friends are there. Honestly I wish they would fallow Arenanet's way of handling these issues. In Guild Wars 2 that have an AFK timer, you are always able to log on, and they have server guesting. Plus, a pretty smooth launch. I just hope SN eventually fallows their approach on these issues.
