Here's the list of problems logging in that I sent him. Keep in mind, only number 1 is being dealt with and that won't fix the issue immediately, it could take a week or more before the population has a chance to balance out.

1. Servers are always full....capped at 3000 concurrent players.
2. Queue isn't working and doesn't seem to go past 150 players.
3. Gold farmers have already invaded the game and there's no way to report them.
4. Players are keeping their characters permanently AFK in the game because they know they might not get back in.

I never did get in to Early Access, myself and have also only been able to log in and play a grand total of once. I really enjoyed myself in Beta, but... yeah. I'm seriously just thinking of not picking up the subscription once the 30 days are out... especially with the chance I may not even get to PLAY in the first 30 days, at this rate. This is just a poorly, poorly handled launch. Especially when you consider they just posted an update today saying the problems logging in on the NA/EU servers is solved... and clearly, it isn't. I'm not convinced they really want to keep most of us as customers, at this point.

I'm going on roughly 10 hours of 1017 error now :(

Haven't been able to log in since Friday evening on Siren. Almost 48 hours since I've been able to play. I've tried multiple servers as well. Nothing works.

I have faith they will fix at least enough issues with logging in to allow most of,us to,log in after the update on Tuesday night, although I remain very pissed on paying money and not being ale to pla more than once since the freakin closed beta.

Its really unfair people are logging in and staying log in and because no AFK boot...never logging out their character,r so it makes it impossible for the rest of us to log in. I mean is it really that important to get your character to level 5000 that you have to deprive other people from playing

I'm at 6 and a half on Midgarsormr... Got into the actual queue thing once, then got error 10102.

I'm going to be called an asshole for this but once I get in game I'm not logging out unless servers go down. I have the next 3 days off and I'll be damned if I spend this long trying to log in again.

I've left the game going with a controller on auto-fire for about 2-3 hours and no luck while other people say they get in within an hour.

Though I'm beginning to suspect geographic location/ping has a lot to do with it. I live in AZ while the NA servers are purportedly in Montreal, Canada so I have higher ping than most. When it comes to beating people to the punch and getting an open spot in the server, even those 50-100ms translate to a massive disadvantage and I might as well not even try.

Have tried logging on for 7 hours straight right now minus bathroom breaks and eating one meal. I was determined to get on. I was told not to bother by several people in my guild. Why? Because people don't log out and stay on and inactive for days at a time.

So how can people get in when the worlds are all full and no one is logging off? Obviously a few people are logging of but your chance is probably one in a few thousand of getting on at that moment when they are logging off.

Too bad SE can't address this basic issue now. Very frustrating and unfair. I will reserve judgment to see how SE reimburses us for these issues.

Honestly if you want to play keep trying until you can log in and then go ask when you are done so you can play at your leisure until the update on Tuesday night, if that isn't your path, well, good luck with constantly dealing with not being able to log in

I'm at zero hours and zero minutes, I went out the majority of the weekend and had a lot of fun. Ya'll should try it :]
