The server is full, try again later (1017)

[Duranos]

I have only been able to lv up to 6 since Early Release and haven't been able to get back on since the first few hours. From what little I have seen so far, I love the game itself.. but these early troubles are disheartening. Not to come off wrong, but why would any company in their right mind dedicate 25 server worlds to 1 country (JP) and 25 to +25 other countries (NA & EU)? I understand that the JP servers possibly cover the Asian countries, but it still seems very out of balance for a company that prides itself on learning from their past mistakes. Their response is to choke up on the amount of players able to log in? What is going to happen on the 27th when the game opens up to the rest of the world? I find it hard to believe that this influx of players was unexpected and caught them off guard. The cynic that I am whispers that they calculated exactly how many subscriptions they need to make a profit and they work from there.

I will give this a few more days (maybe a week) for them to find a resolution but if this continues; like many others, will move on to another MMO I pay to play.

Have you been reading the updates? At all. Its not an error. Theres a cap on logins.

That's what the 'Queue System' is there for.

We don't even make it to the queue system...1017'd from the get go.

Yep, it's a hand-off issue; like I stated on the previous page.

But, people don't seem to get it. :\

EDIT: I also like how the forums keep "forgetting" my character (my avatar pic goes missing, as well as, the character information).

Hello 1017, we meet again...

Next time I wont log off. Many in my LS are doing this in order to avoid this bloody error.

My @$%#ing god not again. I get up hoping that yesterdays abysmal 12 hour downtime actually fixed something but oh look I still get a 1017 in the cactaur server. Im just curious as to the number of people actually allowed in a server atm as it seems I can never get in unless its early morning. This is not beta anymore, early access means the game is ready to launch and just saying "Oh it's not "officially released" till the 27th" is no excuse that holds up in my court. Betas are sadly jokes and are not far off from how the final product or launch acts like.

I WANT TO PLAY MY GAME SE. UNLOCK THE GODDAM SERVER RESTRICTIONS! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ALLOWED MORE PEOPLE IN A SERVER THEN WAS RECOMMENDED!

The most baffling part about this entire situation is that a queue system is already implemented into the game. Why does this 1017 error even exist? Why would they disable login queues or even limit the size of the queue? That defeats the entire frigging purpose of the queue. SE has offered no explanation to this highly illogical situation and that is extremely vexing. By disabling and/or limiting the size of the server queues, they are just shooting themselves in the foot by adding more stress to servers as people sit there and spam server list updates. Tomorrow is going to be such a clusterfu(k...

The "Queue" is working something like this.... SE couldn't get a handle on the amount of NA/EU server loads so they choked the amount of logins. If each server is only allowing approx. 1000 players (random number) in and there are 995 users already on when you login/get the queue list and are 7th in line you're going to get a fantastic 1017 when the server limit hits it's restriction cap again (after letting the first 5 people in the queue in). When slots start to open again, you'll get a queue instead of 1017 but run the risk of getting booted from it when the server re-hits the manual choked threshold.

This isn't a bug. It's SE trying to use EA as Beta P5 and get a feel for how many connections their servers can handle.

Well that is what they are regulating now :P

[Alavastre]

Eh, so I have no chance getting into Cactuar then.

But honestly, the queue's mean nothing in this game. Got them 2 times, got kicked every time.

Fool me once, shame, shame on you. Fool me twice....I can't be fooled again!

[l3w]

Hell I have only been able to log in like 3 times since early release and once today. Its really sad, the game is great too!! Its all I have been thinking about lol. But you really have to do something about the servers and soon! What's the point on havening the game when you cant even play it?
