I'm sure their fix will be to release more servers and offer free transfers just like every other mmo that has had this problem at launch, because no one can seem to have a smooth launch anymore. Most frustrating thing since D3. Spend 3 days trying to log in then have to work 80 hours in 8 days. QQ lol Fix eeet!

Most games, most of the time is not that they don't have the server capacity, is that the SHEER NUMBER of people trying to log in at once inadvertently acts as a DDoS attack on the login servers. Also, the number in the same areas of the map tends to cause server lag and the occasional crash or disconnect.

In this case though, yes SquareIdiots COMPLETELY underestimated the number of people who would be playing in North American and Europe. Which I don't understand considering they broke the world record for simultaneous logins during an open beta TWICE last weekend AND they have exact numbers for the NA and EU pre-orders.

To top it off, they artificially limited the number of people who can be online for each world at the start of Early Access and have yet to lift it. Plus each time they do emergency maintenance they lower it further. For more info and ranting read my previous post.

What pisses me off more than anything is when I try to log in and the fucking loading screen comes up for a good 30 seconds, then that god damned Error 1017. Its like SquareShit is saying "oh hey we are going to let you play no. HAHAHAHA JUST KIDDING SUCK ON ONE OF OUR FROZEN CUM COVERED TURDS!!!!"

The problem is all the people who log in and never log out...and SE incentivising the behavior with 1017 errors. Post in this thread and get SE to make a real solution to the problem, not a patch fix like 1017.

What is the point of limiting the queue? The dont want people to know how popular the game is? Their servers cant keep track past 100? Can anyone explain how this benefits the situation in any way?

As it is, I am not sure it is worth paying $$ per month to play the 1017 game twice as long as I get to play each night before the inevitable maintenance..maybe thats their real solution, drive enough customers away to reduce server congestion...

Saw a limit of just over 1,300 last night...

We get it SE, you want everyone to create on JP servers. Will do.
