NA/EU Server list won't connect for the last 30 minutes.

Unable to even see NA servers. Been over 24 hours now. I'm seriously thinking of filing a complaint with Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada over false advertising and breach of contract.

^ cheers for that, I hate using Twitter.

Guess that's me done for the evening then!

Plus aion put in an anti AFK system within days of launch.. the 9 hour queues were mostly gone by this stage. Oh how i wish for 9 hour queues with this game.... at least i could go do something.

unable to login for 3hours, of which at least 2hrs non-stop trying...

sad :(

That is why SE is most likely hesitant on aquireing new hardware, because there is no way they'll need it in a few weeks... That's why SE is kinda dumb for not going for cloud technologies.

True, I played GW2 and SW:TOR at start and had no issues with it, but I did eventually stop playing them within 3 months because I found them boring and unfulfilling.

Why would SE sell me a game and tell me its problems will be all fixed next week which is probably a lie. If you need till next week you should have made the release date next week. What makes you think you can take peoples money like that you owe me a full refund. I don't want this stupid game anymore thanks for ruining my weekend I could have bought a new release game that I could actually play.

Were just going to have to deal with this mess. At this rate ARR will go Free To Play just like the last flop.

As for now: This issue is still reproducible, it's impossible to login into game during prime time, it's even impossible to obtain list of NA/EU servers

<sigh> I was doing my "log in routine" for 20 min now and after that server became unavailable... I usually buy mmos few days after release so this is the worst launch I have ever seen. Hopefully they will figure this out soon...

One of the reasons I thought GW2's business model was the best for MMOs. Sure there are people who'll play for years, but that's probably ~1% of launch users. Let us pay for the game then play it on and off, avoiding all the hassle of subscriptions. If people think it is boring after one month, maybe the can come back when new content is there, and they won't be turned off by restarting their subscription. Just seems smarter these days.

Le venting.

Still can't get on

The carpet bombing of login attempts against 1017 is crashing the login servers. They then reset(probably on auto now) and promptly crash again. I also have some belief that they are implementing a lock to your IP against so many login attempts per hour. For the last 3 hours now I've gotten no more than 150 login attempts before the game started spitting other errors at me 10102, 2002, unable to update servers, I come back an hour later and no issues again until another 150 or so attempts pass.

I remember the last time I was truly excited about a Final Fantasy launch before XIV:ARR. It was 1999, I was soon to be 10 years old and had managed to complete FFVII in no less than 200 hours (haha!). When I got home from school that November on my birthday, I had my grubby little hands on the game I had been salivating over for months, teased by the hype and previews in various Playstation magazines. I popped in the first disc of Final Fantasy VIII to my trusty Playstation and proceeded to complete the game over the next couple of months. Not once did I get a 1017 error.

Sometimes I wonder if we've taken a step backwards with video games. :D
