NA/EU character list down again

Here's a new one, I got 1017 on the character loading screen before even picking my character LOL

Just a bit concerned now. This is the second time this has happened to me and obviously you all and others.

I could care less about the already addressed issues i.e. log in restrictions/congestion, it's been addressed with a possible fix soon.

I'm more worried about this current issue that has happened the past two days now. Yes SE knows it exists, but will this new issue be something unrelated to the congestion? Will it still persist even if/when the congestion is fixed? I thought the 90k error had been addressed and dealt with already any ways? I just hope this is merely still congestion problems and not a whole new issue.

I have played many and know that this game still has a long way to go to be the "worst launch in history" people are just being pathetic calling this the worst launch when there is evidence of far worse launches and this game doesn't even come close to it.

Got to love stupid people that keep throwing out wild accusations.

Btw this is not aimed at you machazareel.

How is 1017 possible before selecting a world?

Samething here guys. Definitely is a joke

I think you need some perspective about bad launches:

I'm saying this as yeah, the servers do go offline ( a lot less since open beta) but when you get on there are zero issues. The game is a charm, no glitches, no sync issues, no lag - these are my experiences but I haven't heard of others having constant issues (other than logging in), once in, boom it is a fantastic and wonderful game.

Or the dorks demanding a few months service for inconvenience of a few days...

I think we are all hopelessly addicted to the game, and as a result are completely and utterly butthurt we can't play. I've got a few games i need to finish, and these issues give me a golden opportunity. But I'm so addicted to this game, im willing to sit here and spam the login, because id rather play it and waste all my time getting online to play, then play those other games. I just wish they would institute a waiting queue. Id happily wait in queue 30min-1hr to get in. even if they have capped the logins, let me sit in queue, so i can have FFXIV in a window to the side so i can do other things. I know its been said hundreds of times now. These threads all look the same at this point and nothing new is ever said. bleh

I Agree completely with Rauder. Been playing MMOs since Ever Quest 1. I always try to help with beta and I'm always on launch day and I would have to say this is probably the smoothest launch I've ever seen in an MMO to date. So all the cry babies out there who are upset need to go do some research on MMO launches. This is all normal and to be expected. To be honest I have had some problems getting in at times but never have I had to wait more than about 10min max of trying to log in. After I log in the game runs incredibly smooth with no gameplay problems at all. No MMO in the history of MMOs has EVER been like that. Their are always constant roll backs, character deletions server crashes etc.

This is a great game. Stop threatening with cancelling your subs cause everyone knows your full of crap. You're addicted, just wait it out a couple weeks and everything will be smooth as butter.

Because the Login servers are full.

I'm getting the exact same thing. It all started when I was about to enter the Ifrit battle from Duty Finder. Started with Error 90000, followed by 3102. Now I'm getting 1017 before my character appears. What?!

I should hope not lol! Today is actually the first time I've had any issues, so I'll just continue rewatching Sons of Anarchy while attempting to log in. I've seen plenty of launches much worse than this, heh.

I don't think there are more problems. I think the reason it seems worse is that it's the weekend.
Last weekend was really bad and until they implement their server improvements this week then it's not really going to improve.

I did see a emergency maintenance spam before servers went down, I wish they would post it up on the main page though

Once you go Jap you never go back!

Did you just picked this date out of the hat and didn't update yourself with the news that has been out since yesterday?

FYI:
- Server expansions planned for Wed, 8/4, JP time. Exact time is to be announced
- Due to login issues, trial period has been extended another 7 days, after the 8/4 expansion.

jc

at least you can get in to look at the non existent character screen,
I've been plagued with error 2002 and 1017 for the past 3 hours

*shrug*

This is the game telling me to go get some lunch. I'm inclined to agree.

I've fallen through the terrain 4 times today, and about 5 times before that since the 27th. Aside from those you're right.

name one MMO that has had major errors that have locked tens of thousands of players out for over a week. Name one, the biggest MMO of all time has server congestion fixed in less then 36 hours. So please name one, because at this point this makes Neverwinter launch look like they knew what they were doing.

World of Warcraft. The launch was a train wreck. I know, because I was there. Anyone else who was there will tell you the same thing.

Hard time logging into the full servers? WoW's servers weren't even up most of the time. And for months after launch it was plagued with tons errors. The one that annoyed me the most was a bug which locked you into the looting animation. That took them a year to fix.

NA/EU worlds r down again today sometimes it gives me NA/EU worlds but no jp worlds and sometimes it doesn't even pop up a character and says this world is full..

He's right about that, my account from launch (November or December 2004 i think) has 37 free bonus days on it from back then due to all the server crashes on Deathwing US =p

You mean the original that was a decade ago when this kind of mass MMO was non existent? And every expansion was fixed in less then 36 hours and had 10x+ more players. That one? Comparing this launch to launch when the wheel was being invented is a fair comparison with a 10 year difference in knowledge / technology / programming. GTFO

WOW launch wasn't as bad as this one. You were still able to login albeit with a queue, but latency was bad and would get disconnected frequently. They fixed it after a week or less. And, they did something that was pretty much unheard of for a gaming company. They gave you free days everytime a bad thing happened. When it came to customer service, it slapped another Japanese company (SOE for EQ) in the face as a lesson on how to do things right.

EU wow had some lag on it and some crashes

but atleast they didnt plainly lock out players like here
the game is great tho to easy but plainly saying go away we dont want to increase server bandwitdh cause where to greedy to get more servers please wait 5 hours before you can log into a queue system for another 1 hour wait

sorry not done if this isnt fixed soon * they havent even tried it other then saying WHERE ABOUT TO also days ago* wel lets just say i see 1.0 happening again -.- wich whould be a real damn shame

How sad. I really feel bad for Yoshi and the Development team. To think they basically redesigned a completely new MMO from the ground up in a short period of time, and actually delivered a game whose potential seems to be that of awesomeness, and then ... this happens.

Is there any way this could have been foreseen and prevented? @ poster above me... Sim City Online was pretty bad at launch.

Oh god, do I cherish that launch. I was there too, and I swear to you I think I almost lost my cool with that one. Blizzard had one hell of a bad launch, and yes that loot animation bug took forever to fix. The complaining about server stability was SO BAD on the forums that they actually took the forums down for a bit. HAHA! The good ole days.

When this game came out 3 years ago the launch wasn't this bad. The game sucked but I could at least play it. Now I love the game and can't even see my character list. :(

So the issue is the login servers are down which is why the NA/EU server list doesn't show up when I log into the game?? I created a character on a JP server and it showed that toon instead of my Dragoon by default (last played). My roomate is on Coeurl server as well and he is playing like there are no issues. So it's not "servers are full 1017" or it is? Just trying to get some clarification and find out if Square has said anything about it or a time frame. Thanks.

You should have said "recent launch", instead of setting yourself to look like a fool.

Wish I was in Sanctuary or my room collecting rested xp. Instead I was in a Duty (error 90000) when the game kicked me over 24 hours ago. Have seen every error screen imaginable since then and still not able to get back in the game. Completely missed out on Early Access that I paid to have with my CE copy due to 1017 errors. At this point, I have categorized this game as the worst launch I have seen. I have beta tested and played MMO's for the last 10 years. I have never seen issues like this continue this long after a launch. At this point, I too am seriously reconsidering my subscription status for the future. As someone who is totally new to the world of Final Fantasy? I have to say this has been extremely disappointing to me.

I bet it's because we are spamming the character selection server like there was no tomorrow!

Filing for a refund on the game. Enough is enough and I can be patient for only so long.

the orginial WoW launch was still better then this, that is the sad part.

Jus lemme play already!!!

I can understand that they made a mistake and allowed too many people to create characters on full servers, but some info would be nice, Like oh yes guys the NA servers will be down for the next 3 hours so try in 3 hours. But this silence and not knowing what is going on is the biggest problem I have with SE. It's always been like that since ff11 days and I hoped they would be more informative in ff14, but nope!

Can somebody explain to me how this unable to update the group NA/EU characters works? I mean I herd from people that they shut down the NA character server update and than open the JP one for some time, than they shut down the JP one and open the NA, so limit traffic on the character select screen, if this is true, where is the information showing when the next window will be for NA servers to be opened so I don't have to keep trying wasting my time.
