So what happens Aug 27th with Error 1017?

Of all the MMO's I've played, i recall no other, had this abyssmal log in restriction and server overflow issues, not even the so hyped SWOTR back then.

I can understand it's not an easy task to deal with but, the "We apologize for the inconvinience" is no longer good and truly getting old... We need actions and solutions to speak for themselves. I can't imagine at this rate how launch date it's going to be.

I can symphatize with people's frustration at this stage of "Early access". However, as much as i love this game, this is getting absurd.

Someone posted a handy visualization last night on these very forums to answer this question.

I'll not demand a refund, but if these restrictions are in place when subscriptions kick in, I will discontinue playing. I am not going to pay to play a game I can't play except for ungodly hours of the night.

I agree with you to an extent. There have been a lot of people saying that this is to be expected of an MMO and while that is true, the NA/EU servers of FFXIV: ARR should have been prepared and managed better. The original FFXIV was a massive failure. SE should have put as many resources to ensure a problem like this didn't occur.

The frightening thing is SE have given no sign these restrictions will be gone tomorrow .. do SE really expect to have a subscription stream in 30 days time given what they're offering as of tomorrow?

This is the critical point, given the mega-failure of V1, V2 can't afford the luxury of the mega-fail it's getting right now.

Yeah. I plan to play my Legacy character on Ridill Tommorow. I have no illusions about my regular server working.

I love it when I can't even play a game I buy. Can't play it now, and can't even imagine what kind of chaos tomorrow is going to bring. Which is a terrible shame because the game itself is awesome...

Works as intended.
