Servers up

now im getting error 1017 world is currently full, please try again later =[

They're listing server difficulties for individual worlds now.

ooo 1017 error. that's new

It's moreso how often I call off lol. Which is quite often.

Balmung...I'm in

In queue... wait, nevermind. "Currently full, please wait until an opening is available and try again."

You sure it's not just fear for your livelihood rather than guilt? :p

Thank god they extended maintenance an extra hour to prevent this. Would have sucked if it had happened one hour earlier and been fixed by now.

That's not why. Someone doesn't read their news posts so they have a reason to complain.

Meh.. I'm a college student. It's work study. I also have a bit of job security, considering I'm the most experienced student worker lol they don't want to retrain new guys too much. I just feel bad I lie so damn often about it lol.

You know, I was reading the reasoning for the extension earlier today and thought, "Yeah, because that makes SO much sense."

However, we received feedback from our players which stated that the one hour gap between the originally scheduled maintenance’s end time and the weekly reset time may result in a rush of player logins, potentially causing server congestion and general chaos. For this reason, we have decided to extend the maintenance end time by one hour. Thank you all for your various feedback.

You were saying?

wtf can't even get into the queue ;.;


OI! Guys! Balmung sucks! You should move to Bahamut! >_>

Edit-we have a ticket posted now at least...37 min after it was officially opened lol
Oh well *settles in to watch some something something TV*

I guess technically subteraneanbird is correct. Nowhere in those notes does it state that there would or would not be a huge rush of players because of some small patch or update. The only said they would remove the rush of players because of the weekly reset time. Which they did. And yet, here we all are, knowing the weekly reset time was going to be the least of the reasons why people would log in right after servers come up.

Essentially, the time change didn't change anything, though.

It was to prevent people grabbing a whole week's worth of poetics right before reset, essentially putting them a week ahead.

That's the plain truth.

Yeah, exactly my point.

But, at least for Balmung, so this is not done on purpose, but some problem to be fixed, so I feel better:

Some folks will read anything they want out of very clearly written text to reconcile their cognitive dissonance, I guess.

They tried to stop a server explosion. They failed. Get over it.
