SE's Plan: Chase players away until those who remain will fit on the servers.

At least, that's the way it feels right now. I'm sure that the apologies are sincere, but apologies are not technical support. I've heard some people defend SE by saying that they don't want to have empty servers after the initial rush wears off - as Square loses players who cancel their pre-orders, they simply accelerate that outcome. Our Free Company has already had people quit because of this, and they seem to be sincere; we haven't seen them since Saturday night.

Enough is enough. Don't just apologize - tell us how you will eliminate Error 1017. Sitting in queue is one thing, but having to press the X button mindlessly until getting into the server is inexcusable. The constant apologies are already starting to remind me of that common phone tree lie - "Our options have recently changed."

Stop apologizing and start telling us what concrete steps will be taken to ensure that consumers can play the game that they've purchased.

Either that or they already have enough members to start making money on the game , i mean the japs aren't exactly having trouble so i'm pretty sure they're sticking around and the die hard fanboys should make up the other required amount of ppl needed to start making $$$ of the game.

Maybe they don't know how they are gonna fix it yet, they can't tell you what they don't know. Seems like an easy fix but we really have no idea what's actually going on. There's no way they are actually this incompetent.

Well they themselves are limiting the number of people that can be logged in at one time so that the server stays stable , and this pretty much started happening day 1 of the early access , simple solution would be to add more servers (it's what Rift did when their servers went from pay to play to free to play and they had 500+ queue on all their servers , they added 2 more servers in a time frame of less than 1 day and kept step by step communication on what they were doing with the playerbase) , implement an AFK mechanism to log off people that are AFK ( i cant remember WoW's time limit before you're kicked but on Rift you have 15 minutes, after that you get a message that you're getting logged off in 1 minute) . With this issue appearing as soon as day 1 of EA they should of solved it already.

i'm a die hard fan but their is no way I am giving SE my money now. Great game... but sorry.... To those that stick good luck... but I doubt this game will be around long... hell hopefully SE burns with it im done with them.
