Yeah. Don't know if spamming our way through will work

The servers are still down...

Got the same error.

First it said please wait in que. I was #95. Tried again later and now the only thing I get is this screen with Error 1017.

Nope can confirm it was one of the errors I received frequently in P4 but haven't seen it as of yet during EA though

same, doesnt even try to queue up. Behemoth

"World Is Full, Try Again Later"

Go f yourself server! Yeah! TAKE THAT!

I got in initially but then had to reboot the computer for an unrelated issue and now getting the 1017. I think they might be using the login restriction thing they did after the last maintenance and they just haven't put up the announcement yet.

They are reducing the amount of people they are letting log into the servers..... not the best way to keep customers..

<edit> This is their solution to the duty finder problems...

I'm getting the 1017 error as well. World currently full.

Guys, the server is down for maintenance....

Actually, that site is kinda unreliable. It said NA and EU was down all day yesterday, yet they where up fine. The best bet is to use the official one on The Lodestone.

Well, so we don't know if its really up again?

Same issue on Excalibur

server can't be down when i'm on mumble with people playing on it. SE takes an interesting approach to a full server... Server is full, we could put you into a queue but instead go F yourself.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm really starting to run out of excuses to defend this anymore. Four emergency maintenances in 24 hours, with none of them so much as helping the problem in the slightest makes me wonder if they are even capable of fixing it, or if it will persist until enough people simply give up and quit playing.

Serves are still down according to launcher, but the post they made said they ended it 30 minutes ago...

It isn't a permanent restriction or anything. I was in bed but, from what I read, after the overnight maintenance they started with a login limit and slowly increased it as a method to avoid the equivalent of a DDOS attack on the DF server as everyone logged in and spammed their quest instances. They may be doing the same thing again.

1017 on Exodus as well. If they're not going to implement server queue's then they need to offer free server transfers to off-load some of the server populations to new servers.


Granted, it may be a temp. fix to address the Duty Finder problem, but locking out players from playing at all isn't the answer.

Not even queuing now! HEY SQUARE! THIS ISN'T A BETA!!! WE'VE ALL PAID TO PLAY!

I say ALL NA/EU players make characters on Japans servers and flood them to see how well they hold up :)

The servers are up, because some of my fc members are playing. I keep getting this error, after crashing in the main story grand company instance. This is getting very frustrating. Doesn't feel like they have fixed anything.

Obtaining World List.......

I think somebody forgot to flip a switch.
Lodestone says: "The emergency maintenance that is currently underway on several Worlds is now scheduled to end at approximately 9:30 a.m. (PDT) on Aug. 25, 2013."

Launcher says still down maintenance.

Yah definitely up because I WAS in until I had to reboot.

yea, i see all the servers as down. Can't even get the world list.

Servers just went back down.

Both the lodestone and Launcher say the servers are not back up. Yes they said they would be back up a half hour ago, but they likely ran into a problem, we will just have to wait. No need to start claiming something is wrong yet.

I've rolled a toon on a JAP server for all this downtime. Seems very little difference in connection speed with me to the EU servers.

So disappointing...
is it too much to ask to play the game :(

Well it's ok to gradually let in more players to see what the servers can handle (if anything), but what is up with that stupid message? "Please wait until an opening is available and try again." How exactly are we supposed to know when an opening is available in order to try again, a ouija board?! Why can't they just put us all in a queue, even if there end up being 2000+ players in it? As it is, only the lucky ones who happen to try at the right instant even get into a queue, let alone online. This is so annoying, the whole weekend has dwindled away and I (like everybody else) thought at least I could play on Sunday evening before having to work again tomorrow, but now it's 8pm in Finland and no sign of getting to play the game. I wonder if this will get any better with Tuesday's release and yet more players trying to get online. >_<

During the following time period, players were unable to log into the North American/European data center Worlds on FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

We are pleased to announce that the issue has been addressed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Unable to log into several Worlds on FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.


LIES!

Because the servers were brought back up (I was speaking to two friends who were in playing on my server) I tried logging in and was put into a queue. When the queue was refreshing, I was given error 1017, informing me that the world is full and to try again later. I have restarted my client and still encounter the error. I also tried to make a new character on a lower population server and was given the same error, so it's not just because of the server I play on.

Character Name: Brandt Asher
Server: Gilgamesh

As a side note, if my friends and I weren't so invested already, we'd move servers because I really feel Gilgamesh is too populous. Server transfers? =D

Yah I just had to laugh when I read that update on the Lodestone. WTF are they talking about? We cant even get the server list now.

Login Limitation After Emergency Maintenance (Aug. 25)
After the emergency maintenance on the North American/European data Worlds which was conducted from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 25, to confirm the optimization of the matching server for the Duty Finder, we will be limiting the login more than usual. We will be relieving the limitation gradually as we see oversee the status.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may caues, but we would like to ask for your continued cooperation to make this a stable environment.

Okay NOW they've posted they're doing the login limitation again...

I guess it was a mistake to dedicate this weekend to the game.
So I should just remember: Do not preorder and beleive I can actually play an online game at launch.
It's the same with all games now.

I don't understand why the Japan servers work so well but not ours.

I don't understand why the beta wasn't this screwed up. There was just as many people on. They need to just undo whatever they changed last week >_>
