QUEUE is Failing / Error 1017

The queue is not failing. It simply means that there is no possible way to get another person on the server. It is at max capacity. The queue is there to make sure people log in slowly, one at a time, to prevent crashing / DDoSing the server. It is not a wait in line till someone logs out. The 1017 error is the wait till someone logs out.

No, it's amazing how incompetent(learn to spell) people like you are. Every MMO has issues at launch, every MMO has connectivity issues even after launch when they release a major patch/expansion. I hate to bring up WoW, but look at it's launch. It was the worst in the history of the genre, but look at it today, it's the most popular in the whole freaking world, even after the fail of cataclysm.

Give them time to fix the problems. There will likely be a patch soon that resolves it.

Should demand pictures or a live stream of them actually working on the problem. Haha.

Another idea! Everyone go log into the JP servers and cause them to not allow anyone else on too!

I think the issue right now is there is no auto disconnect for afk players. Currently you can stay logged in indefinitely. If they add an auto disconnect after say.. 15 minutes of being afk, it will resolve this problem.

Well first you would have to define failing. But let's say we take failing to mean, not working as intended, then yes the queue most definitely is failing. The reason for this is that, as people are reporting, there is an issue where people are logging in and receiving "you are xx place in the queue" and then after several attempts to login are receiving the 1017 message that states the world is currently full.

So, if the queue was working, as intended, you would simply move up a place in the queue and not be returned to a 1017 "World is full" message. However, this is not the case - hence it is appropriate to say the queue is certainly failing to do what it is meant to, which as you point out, is to let people log in slowly as people log out.

I understand there's some issues at launch, like every MMO, but there's no information about that, and that's terrible for the new players that just installed the game and try to log in. Since the last maintenance, it seems that for them it works as intended, no news.

I understand there some issues but they really have to communicate about it even if it's bad news.

(PS: Game crashed, can't log back :P Error 1017)

If that happened, most Japanese people would do what they characteristically do - wait patiently and write positive encouragement to Square Enix stating how much they are looking forward to playing the game once they can log in. Something to think about, don't you think :p

Hey Genius, i did spell it right, maybe you should learn to read or shall i look up the definition for you. I've played a ton of MMO's at launch and this one by FAR is the worst. I played WoW at launch, i could at LEAST play the game. Even if there is a que i don't mind, but they have LOCKED me out for a game i paid for. I have not been able to play for 3 straight days, for a game they sold and happily took my money for. That is 100% PURE INCOMPETENCE. Next time you tell me to learn how to spell please feel free to first read correctly. Thanks.

I disagree, that isn't the problem, it is the RESULT of not being able to log in. This issue has been going on since the last phase of beta, it isn't new. The main problem here is that people are not being able to log in and the game just started. Sure, booting people out after being AFK might solve this problem SHORT TERM WISE, but when more people start playing, the real issue regarding server capacity and keeping the servers from crashing will have to be addressed. You can't just tell people to go to lower pop servers when they have created a character from beta in that realm. They aren't just gonna pick up and make a new character after they have put in so much work. Another issue is that you are being put into que, and then booted out. Kicking the afk'ers isn't going to solve this problem.

I'm a pretty patient person, but the time to fix the problems isn't after launch, it was during the EA period. These server capacity issues were noted day 1 of early access... any human being with a functioning brain would expect the matters to be worse after the game actually launches. Not only was SE completely unprepared for an incredibly popular brand to have significant server traffic, they've yet to inform us of any progressive action towards an actual resolution. Resolution is not limiting logins, the resolution is everyone can play. And to say that this is an acceptable occurrence just because other MMO launches have it too is a very foolish rationalization. Plenty of other companies have multiple MMO launches, and their first ones are bad, and get progressively better.

That being said, I am definitely subscribing for this game, as it is very fun. I will be disappointed though if some people who were in charge of preparing the networking portion and those who gave them a budget for servers still have their jobs. Someone has to be to blame and the playerbase who bought the game shouldn't be the ones to suffer. You can call this an "entitled" post or whatever you will, but the fact of the matter is that SE is a producer and we are consumers. If the consumers aren't happy with their product in any way, the producers would be foolish to lay the burden on them as a corrective action.

HAH, if you played wow at launch, you wouldn't have been able to play. That game critically failed so often it was unplayable for a long time. The error is a result of max capacity being reached on the server AND the queue. They'll fix it, give it time. I apologize for misreading your spelling. My mistake. But they will fix it. Likely they will simply add an auto-disconnect feature so the servers don't stay maxed.

the problem here is that SE put all the NA/EU people on one login server so yea we are getting congestion, just like they went on to put us all on same server for duty finder, they need to fix that basic issue.

Name: Meliae Rivanhart
Server: Ragnarok

Also, I have no idea if anyone realize how bad it is on personal and professional levels to rationalize something because others have failed at the same things. I thought the purpose of our brains and superior thinking was to always improve and not to repeat the same mistakes as our predecessors.

Square E. Don't be dumb shut your game down and add a AFK timer to your game THANKS!

People that want to play are stopped because of people in game AFKING FOR HOURS AND HOURS!!

Well I hope they get it done quickly and correctly. I am looking forward to continuing playing!

Incorrect. It is working as intended. As my previous post states. The issue is that the queue is full. The queue allows people to slowly fill slots one at a time. If the queue is full because it cannot allow any more players onto the server, that results in a world full error.

What you want is a queue that works based on people logging out and in. That is not the system they have in place. Their queue just lets people in a little at a time.

I did play WoW at launch(was also in the beta), along with many other MMO's. I expect them to have issues as we all know MMO's all have issues on launch, this is beyond that. The thing that has really made me angry is the fact i'm basically locked out of a game i paid for(for multiple days), and on top of that, the producer has acted like pretty much everything is fine, a few oh sorry some people can't get on to play for a while please just deal with it messages are not going to cut it. You cannot take peoples money and not provide the product. It's been very disappointing to say the least. No plan of action no nothing, just oh we are going to cut down the servers so some you are just screwed. Not acceptable in any business world. That's like me buying some shoes trying them on, paying for them then they take my shoes throw em under the counter and say come back next week. Not acceptable.

Like i said, put me in a queue for 3 or 4 hours i don't care, but let me play the game at some point i paid for, OR tell me what's going on so i can know when to expect to have a chance to play the game, don't just simply lock me out. Honestly what they should do is take down the servers until they have a real solution. If that happened i'd be fine with it because i'd know they are addressing the problem. At this point their 'solution' is anything but that.

EDIT: and i apologize for snapping at you, but this situation has me very angry, mainly because this game is an awesome game and i just want to play what i've paid for. My friends are in game and levelling up, while I'm falling further behind each day that goes by.

This error needs to be fixed, I'm tired of having to wait till night just to log into my server, not getting enough leveling done that way.
I'd much rather just be able to wait in line, instead of having to try and get my character in to the server every second not knowing how long its going to take.

:mad:

I have entered a queue with less than 10 people only to have it cancelled with a popup of the 1017 error. This is definitely NOT working as intended.

World: Hyperion
Character: Laurelia Grig

I agree this is a problem and is wearing thin on my patience. Whats making me mad is that all of us are being left in the dark on this, I have yet to see an announcement or anything from them saying there working to fix the problem.

Name: Nyumi Aitken
Server: Ultros

figures again

At this point, I'm not sure why I bought the game if I can't play it and I have no idea when I will be able to play it in the future. If the que worked, I could deal with it - "Sure, OK, I'm the 2,346th person in line. Excellent. I have a rough timetable."

This clicking for two hours and still not making it in stuff is for the birds.

same issue for the past two hours

Server: Behemoth
Character name: White Emperor

Still 1017
Name: Jessica Le
Server: Adamantoise

I'm getting fed up now. Been trying to login for agges and keep getting the 1017 error. You have put limitations on the servers to stop more characters being made. Does it not make sense to allow space for the characters already made???

This could literally destroy any large future this game has by the amount of frustrated players.

Seems like the JP servers waiting que works so why doesn't ours?

I can't login either. But I'm sticking to this game cuz I never got to play the original one

It's not a bug SE Intentionally limited the servers to a lower amount of players who log on so that error is literally just that the server is full. The reason behind this is to help stabilize the servers so they don't crash. The problem is that the rest of 100's of thousands of people if not millions who bought the game cant even log on at all. They should of pushed the release date till when they could of fixed this issue. I feel this was utter negligence they should of anticipated this. It's not like its been over a decade of mmo launches with this issues or anything, not to mention SE already has 3 with this one, one of which failed miserably. Im tempted to demand a refund. This is seriously unacceptable.

I get locked out as well, however repeatedly attempting to log into a character has worked so far for me. Usually takes me 10-15 minutes, but it does work. Given this works for a very large number of people is saying that they're at a max capacity, not that there's an error bug or something. I except them to have an auto-disconnect function, or an increase in the max capacity of the servers implemented soon.

This worked for me the past two days but I must have been lucky. I've been at it for an hour straight with two queues that turned into an error.

I've not had a queue turn into an error yet. I get the error for about 15 minutes or so, then I hit the queue and it lets me in within a matter of seconds.

I attempt to login and see I am in X position with Queue, only to see the 1017 error popup and be sent back to attempting to click through and another queue.

This continues perpetually without end.

World: Gilgamesh
Name: Yesiam Weard

I haven't had any problems during the beta or Early Release (although my friends have been plagued with errors), but we finally get to release day and I get trolled by 1017. I guess my luck ran out...

Then you are indeed a lucky one. I've gotten into a queue once in the last three days, i was in that queue for about ten minutes before it booted me and gave me the 1017 error.

1017 Error

Server: Gilgamesh
Chara: Einherra Innakita

I don't really see why this is even a thing. Literally all the servers are full accept for one (NA) , There NEEDS to be an afk kicking system or something. It's getting out of hand

Server : Behemoth
Char : Psy Kai

Three hours now. I've gotten into the queue twice and have gotten the 1017 error both times.

Server: Faerie
Name: Senah Amariyo

Same. 1017 Error for two days now.

I wonder if it might be specific to certain servers then. I will say that I cannot get past the error on my character on adamantoise, but I made a new character on fairie and so far I've hit the error, then it lets me hit the queue and log in.

I do have a feeling they will add an auto-disconnect soon, because people on this server have been stating over /sh in the cities that they will not log out due to these issues, which means that pretty soon this server will be locked down entirely. I'm wondering if this might be what's happening on other servers as well.. A large enough congestion could make the servers just go "wtf" and generate a large number of bugs and issues.
