The server is full, try again later (1017)

Yeah... I'm normally a patient person but this is starting to get to me. I -really- hope this isn't a long term solution otherwise I'm taking my money elsewhere.

Was in earlier, then got kicked transitioning through zones and now getting 1017 again and again and again and again and again. To infinity and beyond.

Beta 4 server stress testing should have been extended for 2 weeks to catch this issue before early access.

On Cactuar btw.

This is fucking horse shit, and of course the Japs aren't affected...

Can you get in if you keep trying or is it locked until they fix it?

What's the point of having spent the money on a preorder for early access if I get absolutely 0 play time during said time frame? The only thing I've been able to do was make my character and join my class guild since early access started. All day yesterday and today there's been something new as to why I can't get in. Ohhhh there's maintenance, ohhhh there's login issues after maintenance, ohhhh there are still freaking log in issues today and now it's just that the servers are full? This is absolutely ludicrous. If this is what I can expect from this game's service after all of the nonsense that was put up with during 1.0, I may just not even play at all. There's not a single acceptable reason why there weren't enough servers made so this type of thing doesn't happen. "Early Access" has just become another way to say "get stressed out, disappointed, and quickly lose interest." Lovely way to start off guys...

I mean, c'mon it worked for 1 day with LOTS of bugs.. At first there were disconnections, then came the instanced battles + dungeon finder problems, then came super long maintenances, then not being able to login at all. Is that what people paid for?
I understand that it is just the first couple of days and it is normal to have problems with MMOs at launch. But this is "Early Access" which you were supposed to get, not early disappointments.

Also, why are the NA/EU servers having such problems while JP was fine? It did happen during the phase 4 beta so it should have been fixed by now no?
One more thing.. If this happened, and worlds were always full, while only those with Early Access are on.. What would happen on launch day? :/

I totally agree that people should get compensation, I mean we as paying customers did not receive the product we paid for, did not get sufficient explanation why we were given said product, did not even get the attention of the vendor. can you imagine this anywhere else and be okay with it? and all of you seasoned MMO veterans, keep the "this is normal for an MMO launch, nothing compared to XXX" to yourself. words like that are exactly what's preventing the situation from getting better. just because there is worse does not mean I have to accept what's bad.

and let's face it there ain't gonna be many more people on launch day. I mean there will be more people gradually, but since there nothing stopping people with intention of purchase to gain early access, there won't but a surge of newcomers.

SOOOOO annoyed just give me a 5 hr que that says I'll be able to get in... clicking the buttons and entering info 5million times attempting to find that I have failed to login is really pissing me off....

Gilgamesh failed attempts for last 3 hours....

I've played a lot of MMO Launch/Beta/Early Access, and not sure if it's because I like the game more or not, but...

I have never been this frustrated with a launch. I am an IT guy, so patience is a necessity, but this is just ridiculous.

I am now getting world info pretty consistently; for the last few minutes anyways. Maybe they fixed something there. Still getting the 1017 when I log in though.

If these companies want to swing "always on" games... they really need to cut this sh*(^&$%(# out

Excalibur, last 5 hours.

It's not a cut and dry number like that... it depends on varying elements at play, and balancing access with the performance expectation. For instance MS-SQL Server (database server) basically uses a 16-bit mask for tracking connections, so technically it can have up to 32,767 connections active at one time--but, one client might run multiple connections at once, reducing the actual number of users. Then you have to factor in how much data is being transferred per push/pull and adjust for the servers internal bus bandwidth, as well as the network infrastructure's limits.... long story short, it can get quite complex.

The trick is having someone with enough forethought to take everything into account early on in the project so you aren't stuck looking at a server with an exhausted connection pool and a choked up network that stalls on you.

Apparently... either SE, EIDOS, or whoever assessed the infrastructure in Montreal missed the mark.

Was hoping that early access would give me enough time to get a decent start in this game before I start classes tomorrow. Nope. 1017'd and I've pretty much resigned myself from the rest of the evening.

Ultra-busy college week, here we go.

Still can't login. SE doesn't want me in their game? Then I'll take my money elsewhere. Simple as that

Yeah this is bullshit. Seriously, and they need better reps to actually fill us in on what they plan to do. Seriously..limit who can log in? wtf.

At this point it'd probably be for the best if they shut down all EA, worked on fixing the damn servers, and just gave us all 3 days free for having to put up with this type of BS. Cancelled plans with friends this weekend because I wanted to get some time in and I think I've managed to play a total of 3-4 hours so far.

Still cant log in or que up. There goes my only hour to play the game today. -_- Please hurry and fix SE. Your fans are begging you..

Error 1017 no que just the error over and over. going on for 2 hours now
Character Drusilla Haruki
World Behemoth

SE this is bogus! I've spent the last 8 hours trying to get on this damn server. (Hyperion BTW) Seriously?! Maybe if blizzard hosted the game we would be ok? Restricting queueing? GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER SE!

Same here, I don't get it, are they only letting on 20 people or something?

This is getting out of control, questioning my purchase

Error 1017 no que just the error over and over. going on for 2 hours now
Character Drusilla Haruki
World Behemoth

same here cant log at all

I haven't been able to log on once today because of this error =[

Makes me very sad

EDIT: i'm on Midgardsormr

at least I was able to get a couple hours of gaming in yesterday >.>

I love all the final fantasy games but excuse my french this is now taking the fucking piss come on SE pull your fingers out of your ass and fix it. maintenence? What fucking maintenence you still haven't fixed the login issues ok rant over.

I think the most annoying part of this all is not really us not being able to get in. Its the fact that there "used" to be updated info on what they were doing and the problems. However they haven't posted anything new or given us any information for hours. Yeah there is a problem. I understand stuff happens. I wouldn't be half as annoyed as I am now if SE actually kept us more up to date. Give us an update on progress of fixing 1. what the problem is, and 2. how you are going to fix it either every half hour or hour. And it should be posted on the launcher, lodestone, forums, twitter, carrier pigeon, smoke signals.

You know... I fully expected issues. I expected crashes, I expected downtime, I expected queues... That's every MMO...

But now I can't even wait in que? Really?

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...92c54f45233169 Was posted an hour ago. It doesn't have much info but at least we know they are 'working' on it.

yeah this is getting rather ridiculous, and I'm honestly dredding the offical launch when even more people will buy the game at a whim, yes we all preordered it but serious, how many of these preorders are going to pay the subscription when it hits, yes there are bugs in game launches, but in all the games I have played over the years and launches I've seen I have never not had a que going to get in.

Worst one for me is when it gave me a que of 55 people, then it went down to 54, I was so excited.

It goes down to 53 and then I get the error notice for 1017 pop up OVER the que pop up, the only option to click OK and it takes me back to the character select.

..Whoo.

I just want to play on a NA server thx.

FFs this is pissing me off, iv'e only had 2 hours playing time in early access ridiculous seriously and i'm actually buying the game unlike people who did code glitch filling up our servers -_-

They opened it up for exactly 20 seconds. SECONDS

Are they having a laugh? World currently full? You cant play the game you've payed for!? Sorry, but f*** right off! This is the finished product and were having problems like this and the duty finder crashing! We've paid for a working game, if I'd ordered game in store as opposed to online I would be currently Not picking it up and asking for a refund. The last 2 days game play has ruined the experience entirely, been massively disheartening. Beta was amazing and worked so much better.

No que offered world is full... really?

GW2 had instance servers for this... modern age SE catch-up. :-)

+10

What is happening to Square Enix?

We are providing details of the problems, do not think it budget problem and can not hire a bigger housing.
It would be a lie because I think it made ​​a lot of money with pre order, they think like business people and how to make money, Nostros think of as our money is not wasted. And the only thing going on here that the pre order is leaving to have the desired effect, is more waiting collector edition buy more of this great company but really I could not play or open beta or the early acces as you can see I'm lvl 8 ... this is empenzando stop being funny and taking away the role would have to play a videogame.
We complain that bad rip 1.0 and 2.0 is not different is not for nothing but today pass stressed and angry.

dude they get mad props if they can write out whats wrong and how to fix it using smoke signals

It's clearly popular and lots of people are desperate to get in, whilst I agree that it is frustrating, we all clicked the box saying we understood this sort of thing happened.

The incessant spamming about how angry you are is all well and good and you have a right to say so but I've seen plenty of launches go very much like this in the past ... sadly.

I think it would be best if everyone practiced a little patience, we are only talking about a couple of days of a very long game life to come,

Now then, chess game anyone? :)

well you know know what they say... nuke someone a couple times and they get pissy. in other words the eu/na servers are made from scraps from the nuke zones, and the servers are kept there as well.
