The world is full please try again error - on character selection screen

Hi yeah i'm getting the error 1017 on the character selection screen.

Normally what happens with your game, i hit "start" and it comes up "cannot find NA/EU World list" and after 30 times. It finds it. Then i see my character and THEN i get the error 1017.

Is this a way to just avoid character selection now and just give us error 1017 straight away. You appear to be having issues with your lobby right now too. I'd get that looked at. Losing customers is fun and all, but it's probably something you're trying to avoid.

-waits for the next apology to appear on the client when i start it up- "we're sorry for the inconvenience, we only just realised that people creating new characters were adding to the problem but since we stopped that, it's resulted in brand new errors across the system"

Yep, they've obviously got so many people trying to log in they've just blocked them from getting to the servers list

Same issue

I did want to report this issue. The fact that it's skipping letting us even load the server list suggests that they have some issues on their end that they need to look into.

I have been apart of many MMO launches, and I have never seen one this poorly handled. Are they seriously telling us the character select window servers are full? really? I have no words.

Same problem here.

Half the time the 'START' button is greyed out and then it says something along the lines of failed to connect to lobby server. Other times, it won't load NA/EU severs/characters, or it says world currently full before I even see/select a character.

I got through once this morning. Then friend gets on and says "Hey log in to my server and play with me" so I log out to find a grey start bar again...

Guy.. you're a fool for saying this. If you played WoW beta than you know how bad it can be... to this day it still has issues and its been running for 9+ years. Take the pickles out of your pooper and just let SE fix their issues... or better yet, why don't you fly to them and show them your expertise in the subject matter!! ^.^

These are a lot of similar issues they had when 1.0 launched so I don't expect any less. Just frustrating as its a holiday weekend and can't play. Time to hit the start error reload game...start error ...try again loop.

Heres the thing, WoW beta was nearly 10 years ago, and it wasn't a relaunch of an already existing MMO. The 2 times I have gotten to play this game were incredible, but it doesn't make up for the complete incompetence of Square-Enix's technical and customer service divisions. They had a failed initial product, then months of beta testing to get this right. Apologies, shedding a few tears for the camera and vague promises of making it up to us do not fly when it comes to consumer goods. If they are willing to take my money on day one, you better believe I expect a functional product day one.
