Error 1017, when is it going to be fixed?

Been uh...kinda waiting to play since early release.

I haven't received any 1017s since the maintenance.
Perhaps it's just your server's high capacity?

Have you tried switching to a different server?

I STILL cannot login either...I'm not starting a new character just because my realm is full. A week of free play time will not help if I still can't play a game that I purchased. -.-

Are server transfers free? Not paying to switch.

Before 1017 ruled just about EVERY server. It was a legitimate concern that people could not play, anywhere. Now you are consciously making a choice not to play (as there is plenty of opportunity, but no true desire). I don't mean to nitpick, but at this point, after all the work that has just been done, you are truly reaching for a reason to fuss at them.

All hope is not lost, however, server transfer services should be coming on line in the next week or two, and I am sure there will be free transfers for world-population balancing, too.

Same here, just tried to log in, and I'm also getting error 1017...

Ayrie, nobody wants to restart their character they worked so hard on. It's a pain in the ass.

If they were free that would be great, however I highly doubt that would happen. God, I really regret creating a toon in Midgardsormr.

It's rather unfair to suggest that someone should start over on another server because their main server is overcrowded. SE needs to address the issue at hand rather than some random person on the forums saying if you really want to play you'll go start over on another server.

It is unfair to claim that a game is unplayable and that the extra week of time they gave you for free is not suitable compensation when the issue is they are not capitulating to the demands of every person with relatively small problems. I understand that this past week has been a disaster, and by no means am I excusing that. Not being able to play the game (the past week) is a far cry from not being able to play in a specific location (the problem at hand).

I also mentioned that Square Enix has already stated their intents on dealing with the overcrowding issue, back at least a week ago, by implementing a server transfer function on the mog station site. They're working on it, but to their credit, I believe the 1017 issue coupled with the instance server acting like poop were bigger concerns at the time.
