This is Endwalker's early access launch, but wait times will presumably get even longer when the expansion releases fully on December 7th.As is quite often the case when it comes to content launched for MMOs, FF14's Endwalker expansion is seeing some teething issues when it comes to server wait times. Most recently, New World was plagued by queues after launch, prompting its developers to scrabble for a solution. It's entirely typical for a new MMO or large expansion to lead to long wait times for players.

"Furthermore, following a dramatic increase in the player base in all regions since this summer, we are currently experiencing record numbers of active users, and therefore are expecting a number of logins that is yet to be seen since the launch of FFXIV. "Since the launch of a new expansion is when a large number of players will be playing for extended periods of time, we are expecting far more simultaneous logins compared to usual," reads the post. ![]() In a forum post, Endwalker's developers say that the game's surge in popularity over the past year means that they're expecting "a number of logins that is yet to be seen since the launch of FFXIV," but that the global semiconductor shortage means they can't fix the issue. Early access to Final Fantasy XIV's Endwalker expansion kicked off today and players are reporting hours-long waits, frequent errors and more while trying to join servers. ![]() It's the launch of a new MMO expansion, and you know what that means: queues.
