Why no server queues?

Seriously, why the heck did they remove those? It's impossible to get onto an EU server even though it's 2:30 AM here, so either Americans flooded Ragnarok, the population limits are tiny or there are tons of people AFK. In any case queues would spare people the headache of uselessly spamming the login server.

I get into queues every time I log into my server. Usually only takes like a minute waiting to get in. No idea why your not getting them. Unless your talking about servers being locked down for new characters?

I agree, having the same issue getting back on Leviathan. Even with a severe world capacity restriction, wouldn't having a working queue in place be a good thing?

I'm on Balmung and haven't seen a server queue since.. well, yesterday. It just goes to auto-error about the world being full and to 'try again later'

I blame the Canadiens N/A X|V servers and their tech support.

I want a refund

Check the launcher, CONSTANTLY has updates on it.
IMO, 1017 error is on purpose because there is a limit on how many people can be playing on each server,
then a limit on how many people can be in queue to even get on the servers.

Really getting annoying. I'm on Balmung and haven't been able to login all day due to 1017. I figure I'll be patient and try again later tonight, thinking maybe its some kind of timezone rotation they are going and figuring it might be a better chance once EU go to bed early for work tomorrow. Spend half an hour spam fighting with 1017 still!!

Then a breakthrough! I get a queue with 85 people ahead of me. I think, ok, better than 1017. I wait for the update to see how long it might be. It updates and the number doesn't changed. It updates again and then it kicks me back to 1017!!!

None too happy D:

Welp, I've been at work all day so maybe something's broke since I last logged in.

How are you able to do this on Balmung??? I'm being blocked like crazy. Are they sifting people via IP address?

Yep :( I got that, too. Except there was only 38 people in queue with me...and then BAM! 1017'd. Awesome.

I was in a queue 10 minutes ago on Exodus of 42. And after one minute of being in a queue for just 42 I got the 1017 error. Unreal.

Okay yup I just tried to log in and got hit with an error. Oh well. Shame cause before the queues were nice.

It took me over 5 hours to be able to get in a little while today before erroring out.
At this point, I've been trying for 2 hours now since I was last booted. About 20 minutes ago, we got a queue & several of my guild members (in Mumble) got in, but I got booted back out to the 1017 and then just locked out, we have determined all players appear to be locked out for about an hour at a time, then it allows a very small queue of players access, then kicks out the rest & locks again.

At this point they really just need to shut everything down and get to work on it. It's only going to get worse once Tuesday hits. Might as well get as much work in as possible. Sad. I was really looking forward to playing it today. :(

Yes 1017 makes no sense. Just put us in queue for crying out loud. I don't care if it's 2 hours long.
