Final Fantasy XIV Producer Addresses Server Congestion Issues After Dramatic Population Boom

Square Enix has been finding itself in a bit of a pickle with Final Fantasy XIV in recent weeks, with the servers exploding due to a massive influx of new players.

To address the situation, Producer

The pandemic’s effect on the global app market has not been hard to miss. In the first quarter and first half of this year, consumer spending in mobile apps hit new records at $32 billion and $64.9 billion, respectively. In Africa, it can be tough to call out exact numbers on consumer spending because the continent gets hardly a mention in global app market reports. Yet, other metrics are worth looking at, and a new report from AppsFlyer in collaboration with Google has some important insights into how the African app

Long Queue Times League of Legends: What’s Causing it

League of LegendsLeague of Legends players are currently experiencing long queue times.Having to wait for long queue times for League of Legends may be as frustrating as the game play itself. There are several reasons why long queue times happen, but it may just be a server issue that Riot Games has to fix.I know long queue times suck, and getting auto-filled isn't fun either.

TBC Classic: Server populations

The server you pick matters in The Burning Crusade Classic. In retail World of Warcraft, you can get by on pretty much any server, despite its low or high population. Servers are seamlessly linked together, connecting battle groups, dungeons, and in some cases raids, guilds, and auction houses as one. But in Classic, you’re heavily restricted to your server. You can’t play with friends from other servers or factions, or switch between battle groups. Once you’ve chosen a server, you’re stuck with it—unless, of course, you fork out $25 for

Who are the Agents and what are their origin stories, for example; what motivates The Kingdom to steal radianite, and why are people fighting over it? All valid questions that really haven’t been answered satisfactorily. We’ve had drips and drabs, certainly, but there’s not been the concerted effort to explain the weird and

Best Hand Cannons in Destiny 2

It’s nearly impossible to walk into a Crucible match in Destiny 2 where a player isn’t using a Hand Cannon. This weapon type is also a fairly common sight in PvE activities. These weapons are among the highest-damaging primaries in the game and it’s easy to see their appeal. Hand Cannons are divided into archetypes based on their damage and fire rate (120, 140, and 180 rounds per minute as of Season of the Splicer). The first type reigns supreme in PvP, but all of them can be viable in
