Because queues put load on the servers also. This error you're getting is intentional. Think of the servers like a water balloon. When you fill the balloon up with water, you don't put the tap on full stream, you keep it slow and steady until you get to the point where you think the balloon can't handle anymore water... They're just going to slowly open up the servers to more people, they just can't do it all at once. Server load basics right there.

1017 means server full. It's normal. After 3-5 attempts I got in fine mid day.

Keep trying. But I still see a lot of AFK'ers. A timer would help.

I had no issue today. Logged in just fine at noon, logged out at 4 PMish at an inn, came back at 6 PM after I had gone out to eat and logged in to a queue of 50ish and then got in. *shrug*

they've responed to the AFK complaints thusly.

"we know it's a problem, but we don't think putting a timer in is the solution. we want to focus on adding more worlds, first".

Problem is, a lot of people are already committed to the characters they created in the overcrowded worlds. So unless they plan on giving us free transfers, the only real solution is to put an AFK timer in.

I can't play because of 1017. Fix it FFS

Why do they actually want to allow people to go afk forever? What purpose does it serve other than to allow people to hold their spot while they sleep so they don't have to deal with logging back on. Shouldn't the poor people that actually want to log on and play at that moment get priority over someone who has been afk for hours?

Nevertheless, they halted sales of the digital copy. They know exactly the number of people that the game has to support, and should have upgraded not only the capacity for concurrent connections on the servers, but also the capacity for the queue itself. Project management basic right there. :)

An afk timer will not help... all they have to do is use a bot program to constantly move around or if your ps3 use turbo to jump and rubber band your sticks together

Ya but let's not make it too easy for them.
