NA/EU character list down again

I cant save the world of Eorzea if I cant find it! Im trying to live to win, but I dont think its going to happen this afternoon..

Maybe tonight!?

3 hours and 11 minutes later, 3-4 unable to update NA/EU group lists followed by the most recent, where when it was finally fixed 16 minutes got me into the queue at 320. After about another 13 minutes or so I was down to 50 and it looked like it was going to log me in, and then whack! 10102 > 2002 client force shutdown. I kinda just sat there for a minute, o.O my face literally looked like (T^T) decided to hop back on and brave the 1017 and try again since there was no turning back now! Got to log in screen and was greeted with "unable to update NA/EU groups" *twitch twitch* died a little inside...again haha. Oh well, you win some...you lose the rest. xD

don't worry Final Fantasy ARRagain 3.0 is out next year :)

Someone asked me last night if Odin had been up recently. Sadly Odin was stuck at the "Unable to update NA/EU" or "1017."

No, WoW never had such problems. They setup queues up quite fast and they worked fine, even if queues were long at least you didnt have to click non stop for 2 hours before you could log in.
Besides we are in 2013, not in 2003.

This is true, Wow had Queues up like the second day, and they worked with out Dcing a person, I remember trying to log in, and got put in Q, so I went to the mall for a bit, than came back was still in Q so I took a shower, by the time I was done my shower I was logged in. Moral of my story is that I did not have to sit by the computer for 4-5 hours just to see if can play... I like the game and I'm sure this will get better and will be here for the long run, but this does not look good on SE, and some people who are new to the world of MMO's might not be so patient, it's a shame cause its a very good game, and I'm sure a lot of new players will quit due to this issue and not even get a chance to see the game for what it is.

Oh man, error 1017 has evolved after devouring the souls of countless people trying to enter Eorzea! It now trolls you before you even reach character select! I wonder what it will evolve to next ; ;.

it might have had bugs / lagged but it was playable since day 3.

Knowing SE's wacky sense of humour, a future boss NM will be a giant dark elemental (sorta like a black hole) that eats time, inflicts status "Demoralize" on players, and is called "Horror 1017".

yup e.rror tenseventeen has a physical presence on the fenrir server now

JP servers are unavailable but i get 1017....are they face rolling the servers or something?
IF THE WORLD IS FULL PUT ME IN A QUEUE YOU RETARD

Zzzzzzzzz...

Sarg has 3102 and 1017 FCs...I'm sure there are others, but its Funny in a sad Num 0 way...

Chill guys, it was fixed......................

Christ, if I made as many claims to fix bugs as S-E did, my ass would be in hot water.

At this point, the S-E reps have me more upset than the server status, which is saying a lot...

I'm now getting 1017 right after clicking "Start" whereas before I at least got to choose my character.

I love this community.

Not only have they acknowledged the problem, they have also offered more free play time, said they are working on it. What more do you people want? To all those who are cancelling and leaving, good riddance. Missing out on a perfectly fine MMO just because you are impatient. Yeah, it sucks. But complaining about it and making threads on the matter over and over won't fix anything.

I had some trouble getting in this morning, but after a few attempts got in. I got kicked out of Odin EU a few hours ago, still locked out. But hey, had a good run today. Off to do something productive and carry on tomorrow.

The increase in capacity isn't going to help much unless they implement a working server queue. As it stands, the problem currently is being exacerbated by people constantly having to spam the character server instead of being placed in a queue.

You got paid to say this!!!

lol that is awesome if they give FREE time back too people... but hopefully we can get back on before tomorrow i been pitifully spamming loggin for the last few hours..

I have been getting the "unable to update NA/EU server list" since yesterday and it got worse today, I'm placing my hopes that wednesday will bring at least aome relief to all this, getting pretty tired of the errors and the community whining about the "Dead Since Day 1 MMO" which nobody is forcing anyone to play or buy I might add...

How sad for people who has not been able to play for a couple of hours...
Me, along with alot of friends have been out of the game for over 24 hours now!
This is NOT acceptable!

A 2 week fully open beta before release is something to think about SE!

I get to my character spam 0 to get in, while doing that I get Cannot obtain na/eu char list. Awesome............ If this isnt fixed but lets say thursday you can expect a shit storm SE.

More time isn't acceptable to some of us. You've got to realize that some people took time off from work for the launch of this game.

So because of the fact they support the Devs efforts and made a rather optimistic point they were paid to say it? Seems legit.

And a lot of people have their first month free for paying for the CE and early access. Sorry another "free" week of possible crashes/no logins/ etc isn't acceptable anymore. I know a bunch of you white knights will be like "WELL ITS BETA OF AN MMO. DO THE DEVS JOB YOU COULDN'T" Etc it isn't acceptable anymore. Most of you have got to play all weekend which is why you are not as aggravated as some of us.

You took time off from work for a game?

server unable to load still happen notice of it being fix is false, piss me off why post notice saying problem fix when it still unable to acess

It isn't SEs problem you took time off work. I admit I thought about it but I had a feeling launch was going to be rocky just from SE's past and MMO launch history in general. What do you want SE to do? Pay you your salary for the days you booked off? If you took unpaid vacation to play this game you're a complete moron... They're extending the trial...people who are itching for server transfers are going to get most likely a free transfer to populate the new servers. They've apologized profusely and are working 24/7 to bring the new equipment into service. What the hell more do people want? SE can't turn back time.

And those people have got to realize that history has proven that to be a terrible idea.

They're expecting things to be working correctly once the new servers are up and the load is balanced. I guarantee if problems persist they will ensure that the announced extra free week does not get eaten by more 1017 errors. By the way the login server was up and running after the recovery announcement it's just that as soon as an announcement happens people start spamming 0 again and the server gets overloaded AGAIN, forcing the techs to once again reset the whole thing.

Oh comooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!!!!!

From my previous experiences on logging in we are not gonna get back online and play until later on tonight just like it's been doing these past tens of thousands of times maintenance error 1017

Why I think of it is because there are people who AFK and AFC but there are also people who goes to sleep at night so they log out so when those people log out then there will be space available in the server and that's when SE will always put out a Recovery Maintenance fix saying We are pleased to announce that the issue has been addressed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

But truth is people just logging out at night to go to sleep is what making us get into the servers, see if SE did really fix it we wouldn't be having these 1017 error like crazy during mornings and afternoon times right like I said that's how it's been these past few days cause they don't know a permanent fix for this!

1017 is not an error guy. the server is full and they have stated that a number of times.
The issue today is the login system is accualy messed up and servers are not showing up.
ive been locked out from even trying to login since 3pm EST

More than likely what happened, but it's still no excuse for what's going on here. I mean, honestly, implement two things barring the server upgrades/expansions/fixes/whatever:

1) Auto-kick AFKers.
2) When I push the button to log in, it puts me in a queue (a true queue. Not a queue for login processing purposes). I am number 2,471 in the queue. As soon as that many players log out, it will log me in. Know what that'll do? Stop everyone from spamming the damned server with login requests.

I appreciate the game and what they've made it into, but there seems to be a general lack of common sense as it applies to handling the issues at hand.

It is senseless to blame other players for the 1017s because everyone you are complaining about are paying customers like you. All deserving of the same. We all have only those schedules to play that we have, and it has nothing to do with you. As customers we all have the right to expect what we have been sold. Neither you nor I were sold access only between 3 and 7AM Central time or I would not have bought into this game ever. Would you?

Honestly even if they added the queue right now people would find more things to kick and cry about, I've seen people crying about avatar booty...

It's aggravating sure, but there isn't much that can be done. They'll fix it eventually. I'm not really trying to speed things up either honestly. I'm taking my time to not get burned out really. I guess it's good that it's down.

Try reading the Dev posts. This is literally the second thread on this forum.

Resolving AFK Character Issues

"From several users on some of our more congested Worlds, we have received requests for a feature which automatically logs out characters who are AFK for an extended period of time. We are actively looking into the implementation of such a feature, but have decided to first concentrate our efforts on increasing the number of Worlds and optimizing the Duty Finder servers."

Hopefully the people that keep complaining will be fed up and leave the game, which will make even more room on the updated servers.

I think the queue issue is because the login servers are a bottleneck. Everyone is funneled through that cluster and then transferred to the world servers. The queues for every world are hosted on one server cluster. Once the login server cluster hits it's population limit the 1017s start because there isn't even room to fit people into the queues.
