Probationary Data Centers Closing (na.finalfantasyxiv.com)

So nearly 2 months into Dawntrail's launch, the probationary data centers that were set up to help balance traffic in the post launch surge are being closed.

Now that we're moving into a more normal post launch environment, how have you found the launch? If you played during Endwalker, did you experience similar queue times this time around or did you have a much smoother login experience?

I know I haven't seen anywhere near as many complaints about login problems this time around, although I'm also on the Materia data center, so we don't exactly have a large population to begin with!

Share your thoughts! Did SE learn from Endwalker and fix the problems with their login servers this time around do you think?

Some of it was DDOS but a lot of it was just server overload which sucked horrifically. DDoS was its own thing because I did have trouble logging in during those times.

ETA: also not to sound like a churl the update about a month in did fix a lot of the lag. Until then it was just really bad and I was routinely running into people in df roulette also suffering from it which just made things even harder. But I will say SE did work on it and put a fix out that resolved most of it within a month. I feel like part of the challenge may have just been I was on the "overflow" datacenter for NA and SE underestimated how much "overflow" we would be seeing. Cause about the majority of people I was paired with in df roulette during this time were travelers which isn't the norm on Dynamis ime.
