Probationary Data Centers Closing (na.finalfantasyxiv.com)

So nearly 2 months into Dawntrail's launch, the probationary data centers that were set up to help balance traffic in the post launch surge are being closed.

Now that we're moving into a more normal post launch environment, how have you found the launch? If you played during Endwalker, did you experience similar queue times this time around or did you have a much smoother login experience?

I know I haven't seen anywhere near as many complaints about login problems this time around, although I'm also on the Materia data center, so we don't exactly have a large population to begin with!

Share your thoughts! Did SE learn from Endwalker and fix the problems with their login servers this time around do you think?

Endwalker issues for me were mostly the insane login queues.

Dawntrail went much smoother and you can actually see places where they beefed up capacity, even within a server. Field areas and large cities had more instances than they did in Endwalker - up to 6, as opposed to the 3-4.

Aether I think kind of caught fire, but on Crystal it was pretty chill except for that one time the entire datacenter got dumped back to the login screen. I also heard stories of people getting momentarily trapped on Dynamis if they visited during peak, since the server also validates load when you're coming home.
