The server is full, try again later (1017)

Can anyone else hear ESO breathing a huge sigh of relief? XD

Server (Moogle) is full for me too. I hate how it just kicks you out of the game without even putting you in a queue. It's like, "Haha you were too late! F' off!"
I was able to get in for a few hours earlier today, but now it's peak hours it's impossible until after midnight.

Should've known, man... I played FFXI and it was shit, too... I got excited after playing beta, but this is the most useless piece of shit I've ever bought. How do you talk someone into buying a game, and then not let them play it? Can you imagine the loss HALO would've incurred had they sold every customer a disk, and only half of them worked? You useless fucks.

This. It's even worse when you consider how the error is worded: "Please wait for an opening..." As if we get any sort of indication of server population. They're basically asking us to pound on the login server until we either get in or it breaks.

This is realy annoying, how could it be planed so bad that people cant even log in because EVERY server is now full. However I think its funny :cool:

error 1017 is the worst!

First: It is not a software problem, they just don't have enough hardware (machinery) to run the population on NA servers. What happen is, they have the SAME number of severs/computers in Japan as they have in North America (those are all in Montreal, Canada). So that’s why Japan servers are not suffering login issues.

They BADLY underestimated how much players would play on THE REST OF THE WORLD and they may even had thought that they would have more japanese players than non-japanese. The servers just can't hold the amount of non-japanese players. There's no magic maintenance that can fix that. They HAVE to buy more machinery on Montreal and install it right away.

Second: You think I'm defending and justifying for SE? Not at all, and here's why.

This was a bad, baaaad move on their part. No respectable company start any kind of business without doing a SURVEY to estimate how many people are interested in the game. This kind of survey WORKS and its used on any kind of anything you sell to massive ammounts of people. Square Enix already KNOWS how much the Final Fantasy games were sold ever since more than 20 years ago and they also know that their last sales (FF12 and 13) were also well sold (at least "sold enough").

And "not doing the survey" or "underestimating the player base" maybe COULD be a lame excuse for them screwing up on this. But then, from the last beta, they immediately began to sell the PRE-ORDER and from monday to friday they already knew how much people would be LOGGING IN THE GAME because THEY BOUGHT THE GAME! And even then, from open beta until now, they didn't bought a single hardware to expand servers capacities. They're not showing sign of giving a single... ok I'm gonna say CARE, about non-japanese player base.

Third: Want to rage more? Look at this http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...d7c59b9e695188

Japanese servers ARE NOT getting overwhelmed by japanese logins, but they are PREDICTING that the player base THERE is getting bigger and so they are PREVENTING them from getting ANY login difficulties, by expanding the japanese servers in advance. So they're doing THERE what could and should be done on NA servers ever since open beta closed and ever since they knew EXACTLY how many people bought the game outside japan (and YES they know where every buyer comes from because they use IP recognition to build a graphics to know how the product is being sold on the world).

So yeah, even now, when they also don't have the excuse of "limited starting budget" because you ALREADY PRE-ORDERED THE GAME, they used the money to buy more hardware on Japan. So yeah, defend Square Enix all you want, but that’s what just happened. And I think that some day (and maybe not soon) they will buy hardware for NA datacenter and we'll all breathe calmly after weeks of headache...

But I just want you to remember this: you're not their priority, not by far.

I have 14 days of game time, why would I ever continue to sub after 14 days if I can barely get an hour of gameplay a day?

"Please wait until an opening is available" Yeah, cause we have a fucking queue to tell us how many players are in the game... What it should say is, "Randomly start the game and attempt to login because we are fucking incompetent assholes who sold you a pile of fecal matter that has no use."

surely a massive Q would be better than this as your still just going to have people keep trying again and again and again until they get in since as said there is no indication that there is ever a space for you.

Not a single post or reply that I can find about how they are addressing this situation.. All I ever see is "Login Restrictions" over and over.. Even Yoshi-P's apology said this is how they fix servers from overloading.. Restricting players from being able to play, great idea on their part..

And what the heck happened to the queue system? Even if they were restricting logins it would be so much better to sit in queue then playing the god damn lottery login..

They really need to just have you sir in queue even if full. Like if its full then sit in queue with a counting timer. I'm gettting it too... They need to fix this crap cause its getting old fast! Makes me feel like I should be like half of the game and perm log in to just be able to play. Yet doing that is rude. Make a damn booter! 10 mins AFK kick them outta game!

oh this fucking game lol, finally get a now loading screen.......and nothing. just that lol...fucking troll game

Please implement a better system for restricting logins. 1017 is crap. Thanks.

I was mid dungeon when the game kicked me. Now I can't get back in, Also have been in que 4 times now just to get kicked out with 1017...

Most MMO's are overflowed the first week or two of release. Guild Wars 2 was ridiculous and no one could get in for a week.
This is to be expected with any MMO. They buy the largest servers they can afford and don't expect numbers to reach that high, but they always do. Give SE a break and be patient.

every server has problems. Yoshi sold all the bandwith to Mario and now there is none left for anyone else. LOL
Yes thats what happened.

A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multiplayer video game which is capable of supporting large numbers of players simultaneously.

With that, we can conclude that many games are technically MMO's, for example, Battlefield, Marvel War of Heroes and World of Warcraft. Those 3 games are all different type of games, but by definition they are MMO's.

So, how is this SE fiasco normal?

BS sir/ma'am I was in the GW2 release and had only 4 instances where I couldnt log in, and that resolved within an hour

Apparently someone is capable of logging in.

You would think by this time, we would have heard something about a fix or new server being added (no a new server, but new equipment to expand existing servers).

SE....

What kind of fucking mmo doesn't have queue system in place and expects people to just mash the login button and pray that you're going to be lucky enough to get to play today? I've been a part of buggy mmo launches before but this catastrophe takes the fucking cake. I can't even form an opinion on the game itself yet because I've had so little actual time to play, It took me over nine hours on sunday to get in and start up a character and here I am AGAIN on my other only day off of the week from work having the same goddam issue again.

Wrong. They had an overflow system. You weren't necessarily playing with your friends all the time, but there was practically never a time where you were locked out from playing.

You're right, and most other MMO's had a good queue system. But the issues were still the same.
I can understand why everyone is so pissed off, but SE just didn't expect it to be so busy. They did put in a queue system but I think it caps at 60.

I think they're increasing the capacity right now as the servers are down completely for me. That's what they did this morning and they worked fine after that.

It is not the fact that there are too many people trying to log in. I totally get that. It is the way it is set up. Yesterday my wife got in 3 times throughout the day (mostly after being booted out). Yet I sat there trying most of the day unable to get in at all. I would rather a 3 hour queue, then just randomly letting the person in who happens to hit the log in button at the right time.

It would be really good if a Moderator or GM or whoever from SE would post anything on this forum. They have even allowed swearing to no extent on this forum and do not take action.

But to the point again last 3 hours unable to login due to world being full ??? WTF !??! This is beyond anything ! I am usually patient and after the "hickup" with early release i gave them time till Official release went to work this morning hoping to come home and play ... yes i did manage to play whole 30 minutes of game play just to get the 90k error.. followed by Server full queue and all that shit that was going on over the last couple days. But i mean REALYY!? Is that all you got SE ? I just hope we get some "Advanced Error Hanler" in game achievment for this or a mini-fucked up server minion ?

Speachless...

there is a Q system it's just full and that is why you get the try again error as the Q is full so you can't get into it.

Its hard at this point (release) to cut them anymore slack with the lack of clear communication that has been provided aside from blanket apologies.

Apologies are meaningless, what is important at this point is clear communication and timeframes of resolution. The post today was very confusing and unclear as to which datacenter (or both) they were referring to.

Everything up until today can be written off as early access woes. However, today is the official release and there are outstanding issues across the board:

1. A population of people who pre-ordered/bought the game still have not gotten their pre-order code or digital rights confirmation - players can't get access to the game

2. Server capacity has been lowered, mixed with no idle auto-disconnect feature keeps server at full or near capacity around the clock - players can't get into the game
-This causes people to game the system by leaving players logged in 24 hours a day in order to get around the login process and worsens the login wait times.

3. Some servers are locked to new character creation (on the day of release....) and cannot play with friends who are on a locked server - players can't play with friends
-The server queue system is not working, players get error 1017 a world is full and must sit and spam the login screen to try to get into the game

4. The error 90000 issue is still occurring and removes players from the game and depending upon time of day can't take extreme amounts of time to get in due to #2/#3

5. There has been no direct and clear communication from SE to the NA/EU datacenter customers about a plan to resolve the capacity issues or fix the queue system - This is the #1 rule of IT outages

Remember today is launch day, they had a 1 million player beta 10 days prior, they have historical evidence of prior AAA MMO launches, and this is an MMO re-release. Its very difficult for even the most patient of us to just sit here and hope.

It seems like some servers are much easier to get on that others. I have an alt on a high pop server that is locked to character creation, but I can usually log in within 15 minutes. My main is on a lower pop server that is still allowing character creation, and I can't get anything but 1017 errors.

Now that the game is launched, our 30 days of included game time is dwindling away, so I hope we're given some additional days to compensate. Free server transfers are a must too imo. If they charge they will just be profiting off their own crappy game launch, which seems pretty twisted.

That's the worst part, there is a queue system, but it's not working anymore for some reason. :/ I've tried for the last forty minutes to get in with zero luck, and I have to go to work shortly. Hopefully they get this fixed soon, otherwise I might have to eat my words regarding subscribing despite the numerous issues. . .

Like i said a million times and i have posted on this we need AFK timers to kick out the inactive players to make the Q system work right.

私は100万回言って、私はこのに掲載されているように我々は右のQシステムを動作させるために非アクティブプレイヤーを追い出すためにAFKタイマーを必要とする。

Yep same to me all afternoon message world is full 1017 and some times don't find EU servers, still waiting for fix it, thanks
World: Moogle
Character: Deedlit Ithilnaur

Can someone name me an MMO that worked perfectly the day of release? Because I can't. Patience!!

Not only can I not log in to my already created character from Beta 4...I can't even create a new character on ANY NA/EU server. How completely ridiculous.

Not adding anything new to the conversation, just wanted to bitch.

So I got into the que earlier and it booted me from the que to 1017 T-T comeon please at least allow log in to be an idle process to I won't have to sit here pulling my hair out ><

Aion, Tera, Rift. Just 3 off the top of my head.

You're funny, guy. This has been going on DAYS and even so, they don't have a queue system in order to work properly. Meanwhile, first day Japanese servers have issues and they ISSUE A STATEMENT saying they will be having more facilities open by the end of the week. RIDICULOUS. We have a right to be angry. We paid for this bull.

You know something positive I can say for every other buggy MMO launch I've been a part of? At least I was able to login to the game. No, patience is not an option at this point. There's no excuse for this, they had beta phases and pre order numbers to tell them what the population for this game at launch was going to be like. It's obvious they didn't take these numbers into account in the slightest bit

I'm just trying to calm people down that's all. :P
Do you not think they're trying as hard as they can?

Logged in for 10 min, started mining a node, got booted with a 90000, which was promptly followed by a lock-out with 1017.... WOOT WOOT i expect to not be able to play this game effectively for at least a week or two..
