How about opening a few more servers and offering free transfers to them? This is getting a bit ridiculous.

Next week, like they said.

what i would like to know is what were they doing for the four weeks that passed by between phaze 3 and phaze 4. stress tests could have been done in that time. 3102 errors and now this crap going on could have been avoided. instead they have alot of pissed off players who can easily find something else to do with their time. i didn't beat dark souls yet so..... ill take a couple days away . for me, whats another couple days. my big question is this: how loyal do i stay to a mmo that has burnt me once, wich is now physically unplayable due to server capacity?

I have played way many MMOs on launch days. RIFTS and Warhammer had almost flawless launches. This one though, is one of the worse ones I've experienced. Even when WoW launched way back in the day, there where times when it was very unplayable. At least you could que up for the servers. I much rather see a message that says "You are currently #4560 in line" then the "This world is full, try again later" message that we get. Auto booting AFKers isn't a bad idea either. I know during the short time I got to play this morning. (Around 7am PST) During the hour when I was running around leveling my mining and gold smithing, I did see a couple of players that where literally standing in the same spot, unmoving the whole time. I should have just left myself logged in when I had to take my wife to work. Nope I made the mistake to log out, and when I got home I've had to deal with that "World is full" message since then. That's been 4 hours so far! I can already see that it's going to be this way at least for the next couple weeks. Oh well, at least I got some mini painting done while I waited.

now I don't get to.

1- afk time limit. just do it.
2- more world servers. duh.
3- allow free world transfer service so friends can actually play together.


Pretty shit-tastic of SE to offer a game, we buy it, but then can't play it. Yeah, first 30 days are free. Fine. But I still paid for the game itself.

Any lawyers in the FFXIV realm? What does the terms of service say about this? How about a class action lawsuit?

how nice... they give me the early access key when the early access is over, and them that... canceling my subs... let's see if things go better for the next 30 days... im losind the will to play...

Actually next week is for the JP servers. They've NEVER said anything about upgrading the NA servers. Just the JP servers, which are still half empty.

I dont know why we post on here seems like SE does not care solution to server problem is if we piss enough people off they will quit trying to log in

Actually, now that I think about it, I should be used to this. During FFXI, you would get errors and random crap that would prevent you from playing for a day or 2 during a new Expansion launch. So they might get their crap together in the next day or so, which is very bad, but at least they'll get it together. I still say they need to invest in better servers, and get Managers who aren't dropping the ball every 5 minutes.

What are the guys at SE thinking. People that already have characters in a world should be able to get into it. If the world is'nt quite full then just let the remainder of space be filled and quit letting more than what that world can hold be over ran with more than what it can hold. This is'nt rocket science SE. Or maybe that's just what we have here, people with so much education that it pushed the common sense right out of them. Until this gets fixed I not gonna pay for it. I'm tired of trying to get on and keep getting world full and error 1017.
