Not everyone has this luxury.
Some how the mmo crowd has gotten used to mediocrity, poor treatment and bad customer service. There was plenty of time to fix this, it is just a shame. With all the cloud services out there and I know most vendors would have depoted servers for a launch incase they were needed.
So with all the NA/EU server congestion and stuff going on, it seems that SE is going to be adding more servers... but it seems that they are adding more JP servers... don't believe me? http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-%28Aug.-27%29 See for yourself
Things that make 1017 bad.....Once people do log in they stay logged in even if they aren't playing. They sit in town and go afk for hours so they don't have to hassle with 1017. They also tell others to do the same. So if you want to play you can't because people know they have no automatic afk booting system.
If you get any bug that boots you out you can't even get back in with a bug grace period. Which I've seen with other games that have queues.
And we need better server status then just UP. They need a gauge that says low med high full so we know if it is even worth trying.
Oh I call this the lol error because 101 looks like LOL after awhile its SEs way of laughing at us
