Final Fantasy XI is experiencing significant server congestion, leading Square Enix to close off its Odin server to new players starting March 10, 2026. This marks the third server closure in less than a year due to overpopulation, a rare issue for an MMORPG over two decades old. The surge in popularity is occurring despite the release of Final Fantasy XIV's Dawntrail expansion.
