Final Fantasy XI is experiencing a revival, leading to increased player numbers and server congestion issues. The Asura server has become so popular that it has been temporarily closed to new players and transferring existing characters. This measure was implemented to address problems such as undelivered system messages resulting from the overpopulation. Square Enix is actively monitoring other servers to prevent similar situations elsewhere. Despite the closure of Asura, more than 30 other servers remain available for potential newcomers.
The concentration of player populations on certain Worlds has led to unexpected issues that have affected the quality of the gaming experience somewhat. The overpopulation of the Asura server is causing problems like system messages not being delivered, prompting Square Enix to temporarily close it to new players.
Square Enix is monitoring other servers for solutions to possible overcrowding issues, indicating that similar measures might be considered for other heavily populated Worlds in the future.
