The server is full, try again later (1017)

I think this thread will hit over 300 pages easily before the end of the day. Now back to me spamming the login screen.

2 hours of 1017 looping, finally get into a queue of 188, down to 146.... BAM! 1017.
So how does the queue work exactly?

SE's list current issues.... note that there's nothing about server congestion

You want some good reads? Click on Dev tracker above English forums... 3 or 4 posts for today, none of which have anything to do with how terrible the servers are :)

I cannot beat the mid level moogle delivery boss during the log in mini game

I got all my friends hyped to play this game, and now regret it as they all just trash talk it and stopped trying, got refunds on their preorders because they were never even able to play -- AT ALL--. Beta P3 was sweet..P4 was pretty much non-existent..Early access? What the %%#@ was that? Couldn't get in during that either. And now with launch, still unable to play? Why did we preorder? Why was "playing early" the reward? I'd literally throw a brick at their building if I was close enough. Spending $90,000 on servers would fix all of these problems and give people real options. From an IT standpoint, their sorry asses failed BAD. And don't give me "All MMOs have this problem!" No..They don't. Don't even mention WoW. That was back in 2004 when it launched. Technology has advanced so much and the game supports 10x what FF14 does any day of the week. Other games were from very 3rd partyish companies that didn't exactly have millions and millions to throw around. SE does. You didn't see this sorta of week long congestion with no feedback from anyone at any other major MMO launch. I think they're scared to admit they don't want to fund the fixes and are hoping it resolves itself. NA has never gotten real support from SE.

You made me lol irl. :)

Noone except japanese gets support from SE, so go spam the JP forums until the devs wake up.

Right now we need SE to do two things. 1. Make sure the queue is working/bring it back. 2. (I think most important) force log off anyone ideal for more then 2 hours. This is a great game and I know the servers are going to get better but spamming the server by hundreds of people can not be a good thing for the server over a queue system. More and more people are just getting fed up with this and I for one can't blame them.

**Edit** Wanted to add that it would be nice if we can get SE to at least address the issue. I did read the apology but nothing stating anything about what they are going to do about it or the fact that they are or not going to do anything about it.

i've said it before and i'll say it again. SE does not care about us anymore. they got their money from us and now they are only concerned with the japanese servers and if those have any issues. they could care less about america and european server issues. this really shows us just how much developers value their customers.

Yes, the "ALL MMOs have this problem!" is going to be a sorry excuse for any apologist has the hours of these errors progress. To be frank, I am certainly upset about all this login nonsense, but even more upset at the fact that Beta Phase 4 would have been the ideal time to test all of this. Instead Early Access turned into Beta Phase 5 which it was never meant to be.

On the first day of Beta Phase 4 it was painfully obvious that it was a huge error to make it so short and cut it so close to early access / release. It is my opinion (yes and I don't give a hoot if anyone doesn't like it) that if Beta Phase 4 had started earlier and lasted longer, this would be a non-issue at best or at worst they would have a head start on all of these issues.

Been trying to get in for 5 hours, WTF SE! I mean cmon how can you even let this go on, if i payed for a food i wudnt want it in a box i cant fucking open.
Just add more servers, for crying out loud so many players still cant get into the game, its not even early acces anymore, this is attrocious!

I posted over in the JP forum. It may likely be deleted, and I may likely be banned, but who cares at this point?
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...67#post1092567

I know you all are angry, and I am gonna let you finish

But Square Enix doesn't care about western people.

#Justiceforwesterns

The log in music is starting to drive me insane............ Off to buy Smokes and Bourbon...... Possibly with a REFUND......... Just saying.

What's the point of a queue system if it's not going to be used?

I mean, seriously, what's the deal with that.

Is square enix going to reply us?

If they just hit the on/off switch on the server once they would log off all the IDLE people and let some of us play again. The secret here to to NEVER LOG off your server.

Come on SE, make more NA/EU servers and allow free transfers to those new servers. Killing the game before it even gets up to speed.

The Atomos server over in Japan seems to be working just fine.

Well I guess if I want to play I need to create a character on a JP server.

want to know why SE is giving a shit about any server that isn't japanese? This is how they run things in their offices no doubt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2v1CHgcDvg

The problem IS all the idle players. I was on earlier and there were literally hundreds of people afk at the sanctuaries. SE, please institute an AFK kicker!!!!

I love the message too "The server is currently full, please wait until an opening is available and try again"

HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN AN OPENING IS AVAILABLE!? Guess we should sit here and click all day while Japanese players get to play non stop, smooth as you please, with 0 problems. Funny how that always happens isn't it?

Who give a crap about western players. We will always be inferior to the mighty nippon, not even worthy to wait in line.

I think the most frustrating thing is having to exit out of the cutscene when you afk for 20 seconds.

I just read the official announcement that SE will be getting more servers due to the influx of players but not until sometime next week.

Can someone with the ability to post new topics, please make one saying, "Do a reset on all US/EU servers to kick off all AFK people." This way we would be able to have a topic about kicking AFK people, and maybe the people who actually want to play the game will be able to get in.

Y'know, this has been my problem since Phase 4 started. I'd get randomly 90000'd out of the system (This would happen no less than 5-6 times a day), then 1017'd for hours on end. In fact, I haven't actually gotten to log into my main character since Saturday, or well any other character for that matter. This is absolutely ridiculous. But... at least its a good lesson in how NOT to release a MMO.

Japan...It's Japan. Do the people who keep bring this up miss the bright gold letters at the top of the announcement?

That sir is a excellent idea. I just wish someone with the ability to do so would read this.

only MMO i've seen that was so cheap on servers that you couldnt even make a new character lol.

6 hrs. 50 mins. later and I'm still 1017'd despite 0 smashing at login screen.

Been a part of just about every other MMO launch. This one wins the prize. First the EU codes being handed out to NA purchasers(on you SE). Now I can't even log into the game I paid for because of this error. You just lost two more players. Was gonna sign up for a multi-month subscription. Not gonna happen. I believe in rewarding good customer service and good products. This game... so far... has neither good customer service or a good product(I can't even play it!!@). Good luck keeping customers after this fiasco. I know you'll survive but you won't get another dime outta me. Address your users concerns and communicate. I am not gonna pay to keep trying to login to the game over and ovver and over and over again. Too bad the game itself is pretty fun.

Wrong, IMO. The problem is that SE didn't give the red-headed stepchildren enough servers. Yoshida can boo-hoo-hoo all he wants in public, but the fact is that SE has not even acknowledged the problem yet to their customers who paid money for the privilege of 1017 ad infinitum. Make a sticky in the Technical Support forum, or put a topic on the list in the launcher so that people can see that you actually care about your customers. I played FFXI from day one, and never got hit with anything like 1017, 90000, or 3102 - and half the time I played that game I was on 56K. Ten years later, with a comp that gets 7000+ on high settings, and an 80/35 mbps connection, I get 90000/3102 all over the place during beta 3/4, and now on release day, 1017gate. Unbelievable.

This game is really fun and I want to play it....I need a hug. >.<

Never logging out again, played for 2 hours today left to shop come back bam 1017. Like seriously NEVER LOGGING OUT AGAIN.

-hugs-

I'm curious to see how they handle the full legacy servers. If we can't anywhere else cuz it will ruin the economy, then what?

Looks like ff 14 is gonna fail....again. Can't get in! always says world is full. Lost a full day of my early access to that and se thinks people are going to pay to hardly be able to play? Think again! Looks like se cant even respond to their players posts. Lame company all they care about is money!
