New Maintenance :D

Let's hope it fixes all :3 Go SE and make it short please Thanks.

they do not even know how long it is going to take, just get a bad feeling on this one

Calm your selves! have faith~

they should make new legacy servers and allow us to transfer to those servers so I can play with my friends :(

YES! Thank you, SE! On the ball, as always! I'm so grateful the beta was two weeks long, all phases combined! Imagine how much worse this could have been! :-D

Was there a timeframe listed in-game?

Nope they didn't find out yet what to do ^^

Seriously, I just have to ask myself... Why is it that the NA/EU servers are having such a hard time and yet the JP ones are completely fine? Did they give the JP data center the all new servers and ship the old ones to SE NA for our regional data center? lol~

What gives?

Yet another fine example of why the EU data center should have been in Europe.... and not NA.

Also, Japan has 25 servers (one region), we have 25 servers that are supposed to support two regions lol~

I'm not usually one to gripe at SE but I will also make the point that JP got all the awesome server names. *cries*

Maybe JP ones have less load?

It seems that there are way more player in EU/NA than in JP atm and the JP servers are having no problems to handle them, but ours are having a hard time with the crowd.

Did they say what the issue was? I don't see any servers listed as offline on the main page, but it must only be showing jp I guess?

and the same to you to, download and use twitter

On the ball as always? Hah! More like "if this launch goes off with any major problems this MMO is done and we wasted millions of dollars". Right now SE could care less about us players. They're scared to death the game is gonna look bad and people will just ignore it given the reputation 1.0 had. People are trying to play it for reviews ATM and these game breaking issues isn't exactly a good selling point. They're scrambling like crazy to fix it because first impressions are lasting ones and FF14 is playing on super thin ice. This better be fixed today or I see another flop. (And I absolutely love 2.0, ya know except for the bugs they keep completely ignoring.)

With how bad the white knights are around here, it actually can get really, really hard to tell...

Anyone ever hear of the expression "Don't spit in my face and tell me it's raining."? Its starting to feel like we got a Beta Phase 5, but told this "Early Access" is a reward for pre-ordering. Spending half of this supposed EA perk not being able to play feels like I just got taken for a ride.

I just finished a dungeon and when I was getting out I d/c and then get error 10102 or error 90000 every time I try to start the game... Anyone else's having the same problem?

edit: problem solved :)

Wow didn't know 2-3 hours was half of 96 hours who knew.

For the people who don't know hot long this maintenance will last

so, when does Yoshi-P make it official that Early access is really Beta phase 5?

Seriously guys, it's time to start provisioning a crap-ton of new hardware for this.

Kosmos
~official error 90000 crash test dummy - again ~

Can't connect to the server for about 2 hours now. Getting error 90000 & error 10102

Pickles!

Can we simply create chars in JP servers? Aparently JP servers are problem-proof cuz they dont have problems... ever!

I don't understand how you all are able to log in at all still. The NA/EU servers are totally down for me and this is what is posted: While we estimate the time frame of the maintenance to be around two and a half hours, we will do our best to complete the maintenance as soon as possible.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

[Date & Time]
Aug. 24, 2013 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. (PDT)

* The completion time may be subject to change.

Also this as well:
We are currently experiencing technical difficulties wherein players cannot access the Excalibur World on FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

The issue is being addressed, and new updates will follow as additional information becomes available.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

[Date & Time]
From Aug. 24, 2013 at 1:20 p.m. (PDT)

[Details]
Unable to access the Excalibur World.

[Affected World]
- Excalibur

I was getting Error 10102 and 90000 one hour and thirty minutes ago but 2 minutes before the maintenance I was able to start the game, so I rushed to a sanctum and logged out...

Like this man has said, if this isn't fixed for tomorrow, FF14:ARR's future is going to be a very, very dark future. The press has a lot of power over MMOs because a lot of people decide to buy them or not depending on reviews. And "a completely unplayable early access due to bugs and overloaded servers" isn't a really nice selling point.

We are loving FFXIV 2.0 to death. Everyone hold your love back!

For the record, today is the first day and there has already been a 3 and a 2.5 hour maintenance, amongst other problems. That's at least 5.5 hours of the approximately 13 hours that the EA has been available, which is just a little under half. I'm sure it won't be half of the total time, but so far its been close, and it's not hard to imagine there being more emergency maintenance, since y'know.. there's been one problem after another since the start of Phase 4. I get it, it's a release, and this is kinda to be expected, but you people coming on here blasting those of us who aren't happy should get off your high horse, at this point it is something we paid for, and apparently something they weren't prepared for. They should be scrutinized.

[NA] Several Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Aug. 24)

At the following time, we will be performing emergency maintenance. During this period, the Worlds listed below will be unavailable.

As we previously announced on the “Regarding the Instance-Related Issues (Aug. 24)” announcement, we will be conducting maintenance to address the issue wherein players are unable to access instances.

While we previously stated that we will be optimizing the servers prior to the emergency maintenance, we will require additional time to also implement counter measures to decrease the load on the servers.

While we estimate the time frame of the maintenance to be around two and a half hours, we will do our best to complete the maintenance as soon as possible.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

For eastern standard time.. these down times are pretty convenient! Went down at lunch time and then at dinner time. It's like Yoshi P is reminding me to do required daily activities!

In the dualshockers interview yoshiP said that the usa player base was around double japan's and the eu was on the same level as japan. So why is it our combined server total, equals theirs?

Lol at the doomsayers... If anything this is a testament to how insanely popular the game is and that they couldnt have expected so many people to be playing it
Honestly, I thought Early Access population would be lower than Open Beta because only people who pre-ordered the game are allowed to play it, whereas OB was free for everyone... I was wrong, I had no idea so many people had pre-ordered the game already

Plus, I dont know what people are talking about with "half assed broken game time"... I enjoyed most of EA today and guess what I did when I reached a story quest that I couldnt progress through because of an instance? I switched to a crafting/gathering class and started working on those instead
I know, mindblowing! So what if you dont make it to level 30 today or whatever? I bet you will be the first people to complain there is nothing to do in the game because you rushed to the cap instead of enjoying the game to the fullest

Hey, neither is the press telling people to go out and buy/support an MMO simply because of its beta but they do it. This is why gaming was much better before the internet largely - people were able to think for themselves.

No MMO has a flawless launch, not one textbook MMORPG.

Actually, GW2 was pretty flawless if memory serves. But yes, in general, this is pretty standard, though it is becoming less common for companies that actually invest in network logistics.

Not too sure about you guys, but I've seen games with worse off launches! We've got it good with all things considered.

I think everone needs to chill, go for a nice walk outside while you wait
