I am pleased to announce that Final Fantasy 11 is where it's at right now – Square Enix has had to shut down the MMO's most popular server to new players beca🎃use, well, it's✃ too popular.

On the game's , producer and director Yoji Fujito shares that "overall player popul🎉ation has been trending upward recently." More players are always cool when it comes to online multiplayer games, but it's been a tricky one for༒ the MMO's most popular server, Asura.

"The Development and Operations teams have been working hard to help all of you enjoy your gaming experience even more, but it has been discovered that the concentration of player populations on certain Worlds has led to a series of unexpected issues that have managed to affect the quality of that experience somewhat," Fujito says. "This includes things like syst♉em messages not displaying properly in Vana'Bout, for examp𓆉le."

The solution? Unless you already call Asura your online home, it♋'s now a no-go zone. You can't transfer there for the tim👍e being, nor can you create a new character tied to the server.

"🌸We plan to continue monitoring the number of logged-in user꧟s as well as various other factors and will seek to resume the above-mentioned services and functionality when appropriate," Fujito adds.

"In addition t🤡o developing and revising in-game content, we are working hard to maintain an environment where players around the world can enjoy the game, so we appreciate your continued support of Final Fantasy 11!"

If you're wondering why Final Fantasy 11 is cooking up an absol﷽ute storm right now, it's likely several factors.

Final Fantasy 14 fe♓atures a FF11-themed raid series that's likely making veterans pine for a return or encouraging new players to give it a go &ndash🅘; something that's easier to do right now thanks to discount campaigns.

Also, Final Fantasy 14 its▨elf isn't cooking quite so hard right now. The Dawntrail expansion has been a bit of a struggle, and while signs of recovery do appear here and there, w🍌e're not quite there yet. Additionally, it's probably worth noting that server capacity for Final Fantasy🦹 11 is likely less than Final Fantasy 14.

That, and people like to hop around MMOs sometimes. World of Warcraft is in pretty good health right now, but a lot of people are 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:currently vacationing in Olꦅd School Runescape to enjoy different scenery.

Regardless, it's lovely to🌼 see a 23-ye✤ar-old MMO get some love. Unless you're trying to log into Asura, I suppose.

It's wild to think that Square Enix considered shutting down the original Final Fantasy MMO years ago. Thankfully, the devs received "a lot of support" to keep it going.
