World is full

I can't log in because the world is full. Why create a system where the number of people created is greater than the number that can be online at once? This makes me sad. :(

I just want to level ma mining ; ;

I just want to play, period. I would just level up CUL if that was the only option I had.

timezones, and in general varied playtimes, there is also the fact that people are extremely concetrated to a few areas atm

This is a bad problem. The server needs to be improved to handle more people.

Been playing FFXIV: 1017 Edition for the last 5 hours.

This just seems like a statement you didn't think out thoroughly. No matter the timezone, or the playtime, or the fact that people are concentrated in a few areas, there should always be a spot for you to log into your world.

An analogy I can use is:

Would a movie theater sell more tickets than they have seats available? No they wouldn't, they would put up a SOLD OUT notification.

Square definitely put up a "SOLD OUT" notification by locking new player creation, but they forgot to up the limit of players online at one time. That should always match the number of players created on that world, to ensure they can always log in to play.

6 hours straight of the world being full after 2 hours maintenance after yesterday's servers not working and being in maintenance almost half the day. Awesome early access.

Airlines frequently oversell flights because they know some people will not show. However, only a few seats. SE has extremely over sold there servers. With "regional" servers, potentially everyone on that server could want play at the same time. Servers need to be bigger!!!

I have not been able to get in all day, literally been trying every few hours since around 2PM EST. It is now 7PM EST and I still can't get in. Not sure if SE realizes when they start charging for subs people actually have to be able to play.. then they will pay.. I even created a toon on Hyperion for a bit logged off to do some stuff now that server is full as well, I quite literally can not play, unless I play with Japan.

I think people are just not logging out, to let other people in

I'm suspecting the same thing. Having no AFK-kick at launch is a horrible mistake... Being unable to play throughout the entire weekend is really annoying, especially because the game is actually fun...

Okay whats the point of paying for a game that i cant even play cause the worlds are full and i cant even log into. Square Enix is messing up if it is not the errors then its cause the world is full. Sqaure Enix does not even show how full the server is and is just letting you run in blind for new players and old alike. were to Suffer for paying a Subscription that we cant even use or take a line of 1000 in Que. Sqare enix needs to start letting us transfer worlds free for the new players that went to legacy servers that had No idea that they would be this full and it better be fast not a week i mean in a Couple of days cause if this crap keeps up whats the point of paying for a Subscription when i cant even use the service we pay for with our hard earned money only to get a restriction and we apologize . its like Square Enix making this game just to let us play it for free and letting it stay like that forever. it makes no sense :mad:

If this continues past the launch date then it'll be a problem. As of right now, I know I haven't paid any subscription and this weekend was gimme time. Does it suck I can't log on and play, yep without a doubt. But like I said, this is free time. I didn't pay any extra to play before the launch so oh well.

I think it's good they have so many ppl logging on that it's screwing up the servers. 1.0 was almost a ghostland towards the end. It'll be nice when this all gets worked out(hopefully by Tues) and Excalibur is booming.

I agree SE shouldn't be letting more players into a server when they know for surely sure they can't log in to play at once. That's really not fair and poor planning.

Guys, it's not that hard! Take about 5-10 minutes and continuiously try logging in, even though it will say it is full. Once you reach the QUE process keep trying and within a minute or 2 it WILL let you in. I had to do this all weekend, and was playing all weekend. I am more concerned about the other glitches they are having with the system right now, such as not getting past the instances. GL and hope to see you in there.

Does no one on Excalibur work? Its Monday morning 8:30 Eastern and the server is full O_o

working from home has awesome rewards ...
make your own hours
0 traffic
If you don't like a certain contract you don't have to accept it
save $$$ on gas
you don't get as sick often - because you're 1-happier, 2-not around sick people who like making their co-workers sick

This is just unbelievable.

I am positive there would be more posts expressing frustration if people weren't cycling from character select to ok log me in to ok 1017 suck to start to character select...

WTF!

I packed out my old auto fire controller for the login. Works like a charm

Excalibur is full of us, Europeans, many of which are home, playing, while NA people are still at work/school. If I log out in the evening, like now, it's impossible to go back in cause that's when you people across the big body of water are active. Plus, no one logs out these days, less they have to :p Thank gawd the title screen is so pretty!

There is no bazaar system in this game like in XI, it should honestly log you out if you go idle for too long.

Been trying 20 mins and just endless 1017 and the other day i tried almost for 4 hours the point being i shouldnt have to try to get into a server this isnt early access anymore its launch which means money has exchanged hands, all im asking is for what i paid for its not a bad thing and it not nerdrage its from the point of a consumer buying something.

And yeah people were talking about being logged in all day leaving to go get something to eat afking for hours because they refused to log out because of this exact problem.

And in doing so, these people only make the problem worse.

My biggest peeve is that the game doesn't just automatically put me into a login queue. I don't care if I am number one-thousand in line, just let me be in a queue so I can watch a movie or something instead of sitting here spamming the login button and hoping I get lucky.

lol just trying over and over and i guess it got tired of me trying because then it gave me a 2002 error and closed my client

lol, been playing this game since 8am this morning not very easy to get levels though

I like when you get kicked from game and cant get back in <.< pisses me off

It's me, I sat in grid for 4 hours so i didn't have to log back in, i'm the problem.

Game closed on me around 3:00 PM my time. It's now 9:30 PM and I still haven't been able to log in. Twice I have gotten the message that only 3 or 4 people are in queue, then a couple seconds later the game says it's cannot connect to the server lobby and kicks me to the main screen.

I love not being able to play a game I supported when the whole of gaming thought it was a pile of garbage. I did my part. I paid for the game before Legacy was even announced. I participated in all the Beta Phases. I even gritted my teeth when I couldn't play for most of Early Access...but this is just ridiculous. This game is out now. This is a launch and I am still not able to play.

Ive been trying to get in game for the last 4 days straight. I work for a living...I don't have the time to sit there and spam the log in process. I get home from work and I want to play.

Its now 10:38 pm mountain time and Ive been trying to get in constantly since about 6:30 pm.
Is it too much to ask for to play the game that I paid for?

This isnt beta or early access...lets get with making this game playable. This is supposed to be a finished product. Sure as hell doesn't seem like it....but then I cant get in to even tell.
