What's generally disappointing is the fact that Square Enix warned last month (before the initial access period) that server congestion could be a problem.

If this was true every time this didn't happen, the excuse was more fun. Big Game has been launched, however, Square Enix plans to provide more information about its server upgrade roadmap by the end of January 2022.

Square Enix has recently given an additional seven days of game time to all players. Will soon be showing an additional game. 14 days to help make up for problems.
