The surge in players is causing congestion in the North American and European Data Centers, with some players unable to create new characters in specific servers. Final Fantasy 14 is also regularly breaking its all-time concurrent player’s record on Steam. The uptick meant that the digital version of the game recently sold out, which I didn’t even know was a thing that was possible. The media coverage and ongoing praise for the game from fans has also tempted players from other MMOs like World of Warcraft. Big audiences getting eyes on the game has naturally galvanized people to try it out. Well, several prominent content creators have been trying Final Fantasy 14 lately, like World of Warcraft streamer Asmongold and variety streamer CohhCarnage.
