TOKYO, Japan. August 28 - Recently launched MMO from Square Enix, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, has received a positive commercial reception, so much so that the publisher has halted digital purchases of the game.
The servers are congested and as a result, players are having to sit through long ques in order to get playing. Cutting newcomers is the company's temporary solution to remedy the issue.
An official announcement on Square Enix's Facebook page reads:
"Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, we are currently experiencing extremely long wait times for users to be able to log in and play. As a temporary measure, we will halt sales of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REALM REBORN’s digital download products so we can accommodate all of those wishing to play. We are working to expand our server capacity in the coming days."
Launch issues tend to plague newly released MMOs, that is until the tech is brought up to snuff or player interest falters and they abandon the game shortly after only to revert to the tried and true World of Warcraft. We'll have to wait and see what becomes of A Realm Reborn.
