8 PM EST, if I recall, all servers are being taken down for 10+ hours to add more servers, increase the capacity of current servers, and do some stuff with the duty finder.

They are. From 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. PST I think.

Remember when XI came out...very smooth after 3-6months
Remember when 1.0 came out...it was never really "smooth" but close and I played that for 15months off/on (mostly on) all for free, aside from the game purchase....
Now we have 2.0... if you're not happy, come back by the end of this month and see the improvements.

This msg was approved by our fellows Gamers and is mixed with true information:

"Whoops, we forgot we made 1/2 the worlds from 1.0 into JP worlds and didn't make new ones for each side (especially since we capped logins per world). Sorry we only prepared for 250-350k people to start the game right away. We are currently at 1.5M and counting. Wed's 10hr maint should address some of these issues. We are opening new worlds and raising the login capacity considerably. Enjoy an additional free week on us and don't forget, world transers will be opening in the next month or so."

Remember when WoW came out and the expansions? When WoW came out it was everything but smooth and every maintenance day meant a entire day offline, and more often then not the day after as well. So about two days you couldn't play. And the queues where long to get in as well. When ever a expansion came out the queues where long as well again (not as long as here but yeah here they only have a small amount of people who can queue compared to WoW i guess, and WoW had a afk kicker). Then again Blizzard had a hand full to manipulate the queues. Never did you had queue lines once things where smooth and suddenly you saw your server appear on a list of high population and that there where long queues so they would open transfers and suddenly there where queues xD

Anyway, the FF14 week after launch isn't that much different from WoW, Warhammer online, Age of Conan, etc. Often the first week is a bit wonky. Granted Rift and some others had a smooth(er) ride but it has been like this in most MMO's i played in the last 10 years. There will always be problems. Problems that need to be fixed. SquareEnix could have perhaps participated on it earlier, i mean its remains silly it takes 1,5 week before they actually gonna increase capacity. But to enjoy a MMORPG you better wait till a bit after launch when they got to fix things they didn't anticipate on and found out when so many players try to play the same time.

Reading these comments I'm getting more annoyed that everyone seems to be free cause of labor day......I'm at work atm :S

I understand, been at work for 3 hrs now. Took 5 min of "me time" on my tablet after a couple meetings.

I agree about the AFK-kicker. 25min of afk then have a 5min count dwn before the kick. (total of 30min). This should have been setup in phase 4 and tweaked as needed, AND continue with the game. Yes they are addressing some issues to help but the Kicker would continue to help alleviate some future potential problems.

For those of you who ofc will say "You must play PS3!! No PC player would want that! Blah blah blah, I'm upset about my e-pein!"
I DO play PC. I also own a PS3.

this is getting funny in a bad way... the people in AFK mode are really destroing the game... there are people saying is their right to do it and is SE problem but thats not true, why I say this, a least last week there was like a flow of people going in and out of the server in none peak hour but now thanks for the people going AFK the flow is none existent.
everybody know the server cant deal with all the people but that doesnt mean they can prevent others for playing by pure selfishness.

They should've had discongestion procedures in place before releasing the game, period. I bought the game but can not play it. I expect a second month free.

havent been able to play for 2 days allready, sunday when i came home around 19:00 CET i couldn't log in cause of the 1017, same with yesterday.. came home from work around 16:00 cet and and i stoped trying to login at 21:30
and now i have been trying for 55 min allready.. so yeah i can see another evening of trying to login to the game comming..

1017 almost 2 hours now .. i login after the jobfor 5 minutes .. (Oh TY SE for the experience) and after crash (again with no reason) all time 1017.
