The server is full, try again later (1017)

Don't get excited if you get a que ... That just means people are logging off cause of maintenance and you are going to get booted out again.

3 in queue

And here I thought it would be easy to get on today...People are gonna be pissed tomorrow for the actual release.

I managed an hour today. I come to play when all my friends are on, No happening. I don't care if I have to queue for 45minutes, at least I know when I'm getting on. Shiva EU is the biggest pain in my ass atm. I refuse to make another character because I have already invested as well as my friends in this character. There should be no need to create a new character because they hit a limit. They want this to be better than 1.0, GET THE SERVERS SORTED! The game is better for sure but I can barely get on. I have clocked 12 hours on this "early access" Losing faith rapidly.

I know MMO launches can be troublesome at time but this is THE WORST I have ever encountered in my years of playing MMOs

Is this still an issue? I've been at work and trying to see if it's worth rushing home or not.

Not worth it Zoet. Well depends on server. If your on Shiva, forget about it.

I'm also at work, but it would appear there is no rush to get home.

(Sneaky part of my brain thinks you may take the advice, wait to get in, some how giving me the chance to play instead. But they sneaky part of my brain is mean, and shouldn't be listened to.)

Seriously, this is getting rather annoying, I have played less than 2 hours in this pre-release, rest of the time, I can't log in because of the damn 1017 error. What's going to happen tomorrow, or in the days to come, when more people are going to try logging in?

Yup I was on for about 3 hours logged off for a shower came back NOPE.jpeg 1017 christ, what an awful joke SE seriously. Seriously. At this point I HOPE the media tears you apart. This is worse than FF13.

How very sneaky indeed. Maybe I'll just dip out early and grab food on my way so while it seems like I'm not rushing, in truth I totally am. I had heard from a friend the issues were fixed but I'm getting the feeling he was just lucky and go on without issue.
Thanks for the input guys.

Same issue here. Just out of curiousity while we wait does anyoen know where to find the artical about people that previously owned the game. I have some buddies thinking of returning. Of course I am not telling them about this let em find out on thier own lol. But I can't remember where it said that they didn't have to buy a new copy. Thanks guys.

I'm coming back from work at the time when it's pointless to try log in. And I can't play the game i paid for. Yes they apologize. Do I care how they feel about it? No, I don't. I just want to play and certainly I don't need their problems added to mine. For 2 days of already paid time they are unable to do anything when they had months to deal with it. Not my fault they made Open Beta Test so hard to join and for 2 days only so they couldnt figure out how many western players will play.
What I need is actions, refunds and details on how they gonna make it work and how they gonna compensate my wasted nerves, time and money.

I completely and utterly agree. Though technically the game hasn't started, however I do not see any solution forth coming on Aug 27. I just want to play with me friends. That's it. I have no desire to be segregated away from them JUST because SE can't get their crap together and come up with a viable solution. I know it's somewhat difficult, but honestly this has been nothing but a let down for me. I spent most of yesterday trying to get onto Gilgamesh just to create a character to play with people that were just LUCKY enough to create on there. Did it happen? Nope. It's one of the few worlds that is constantly locked. I understand server limits and everything, but if hype up a game this much.. wouldn't you expect the response you are getting?

Darn, this morning gave me so much hope!

I've play for a few hours today, with periodic disconnects. Of course whenever I try to reconnect it tells me I'm still logged in and I have to wait. The last time I tried to log in I had a queue of 14 people, but then the dreaded 1017 error popped up. I guess we're back to no queues, and no options :(

Cerberus server still full, this getting annoying as hell. But still beter that they try an solve the error than ignore it. Japanese servers are fine just started a new game one one of them connection was not "excellent" but "good" so when the eu/na servers are back ill switch back or not i'll see

I tried logging back in, and had a queue of 9 in front of me..but then, BOOM! 1017....

same problem on excalibur

Wow, this game is GREAT! You click start and select your character, then get sent back to the start screen again! What a phenomenal concept!!!

Seems like something happend, now its a queue and the message that the world is full, its a start.
And the queue moves.


P.S.
And then its all back to the same

fucking teleport then dc then 1017

This has been a very frustrating Early Access period, that's for sure. It's a work day and many people are still at work yet servers are full? Things are going to get really crazy in a couple of hours.

I would just like to mention that JP servers are not having any of these issues.

Also, my ping on their servers seems to be just fine (~230ms). I think I'll be willing to sacrifice 100ms for the ability to be able actually PLAY; if this doesn't get fixed.

Also getting this error

Seems like some servers are throwing the 1017 error and some aren't. I'm able to log onto one my alts just fine (after a brief queue) even though it's on a higher pop server :S

So i keep d/cing and now i get server is full 1017 bullshit...didn't they say they fixed this today?? Good job Square, ignore your most popular fan base for your JP group...see how that will get ya. If this doesn't get fixed during actual release period, well congratulations Square you just gave birth to another piece of shit!

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

Ok wtf...i get on get into que get to the fifth que and then it says World is full 1017 bullshit everytime!!! WTF is going on??!! This happened 4 times in a row for fucks sake....i really want to get my money back paying for this early access was not worth it at all...

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...

we don't have problem with cap, we have problem when the que is nothing working and you have to click 200000 times to try to log in.

This "early access" is a bad joke...

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.

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

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!:mad:

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

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!

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?
