Wouldn't be so many people going AFK if SE fix the login problem. If you log off you can't get back on, so why log off. That's what most of them are thinking.
Sereiously guys.. SE is poor in seriousness. They said that will improve the data centers 3 days ago.. and.. the problems are here. since the release day... the problem is still here and they did nothing to improve or solution. Only they are earning money with the fee and pre-orders.. but they aren't doing nothing to listen to the customers (gamers). They are stealing our money. Please... a GM request this post and please.. give the money back to the people.
Absolutely terrible RE-launch. Great game if you can actually get in and play, but they are so completely INCOMPETENT and setting up servers that I don't think I'll be sending them any more monthly fees. Very disappointing RE-launch.
That *is* the 1017 error message. Note the yellow "1017" in the lower right corner of the error window.
Also: There is no way to know if there's an opening available. Even if there were it wouldn't last more than a fraction of a second as hundreds of people are attempting to log in in that fraction of a second. Your only option is to hammer the log in servers as hard as you can and hope your packets hit the server in that fraction of a second.
I was thinking... this forum doesn't work... any gm appeared and nobody from the staff of SE say anything never when we post a thread of any critical problems... I think that we are wasting our times creating thread in this forum :S
got pwned.... was FATE grinding in Cortheas Now
Na/Eu unable to Update............
FML
About 1 in 3 tries I get to the Now Loading screen for about 30 seconds, seems promising yeah?
BAM! The dreadful 2002 error and my game client exits all the way to desktop
Stop playing with me and put me in a queue!
I can understand that SE is incompetent when it comes to determining how many players would buy FFXIV and play (its obvious due to the server congestion etc).
but what gets me is....are they going to extend EVERYONES 30 day access for these periods of UNPLAYABLE "service"?
I for one am taking note of how long i cant play a game i have purchased and WILL get back my lost time which = lost $$$$ = SE 'stealing' my $$ on a game i can't access.
Pull your finger out from behind SE and at least post up some kind of post under TECHNICAL that has a solution AND that also answers some of our concerns (LIKE MINE, which i assume many are wondering).
Put yourselves in our shoes....we only want answers and promises that you WILL keep..
SE just posted recently they will extend everyones free game time by 7 days including 1.0 players starting Wednesday after maintenance that day. They are creating new and better servers to host everything on since the Canadian company that offered to host the servers under delivered what they promised which is why everything keeps crashing and having issues.
