Still can't play on the server I want too...

I know this weekend has been rough on everyone and I am sure that things will be far from perfect going forward but we have received no news as to when the servers will be reopened so we can play with our friends!

I have been trying to get on the Levi server to play with friends for the last 2 days and the server has not been letting anyone make new characters on it since they came up for EA. What is the point of me playing if I cannot play with my friends? Should they be forced to lose there progression and re-roll on a new server (that may or may not work) just because the minority of us can't get in? Not a very fun MMO if aren't able to play with the people we want too.

Please give us something! News or even acknowledgement that you are aware of this issue would bring great joy throughout the land.

Thank you!

Been having the same issues trying to get on one of the JP servers, would honestly be nice to get some input on this before launch, but sadly doubt it will happen.

I find it odd that JP get their own servers and NA/EU are recommended to cohabit their own servers together. There are a lot more people in NA/EU than JP so obviously those servers are going to be full, quicker.

I know you can go to any server you want but I think they should have had over flow servers for NA/EU people, or perhaps 2 servers one for NA only and one for EU only. That way people who have no intention of playing with people from other parts of the world can use those servers and free up some space on the mixed servers for others.

I don't understand why almost all of the servers have opened up at one time or another but Moogle and Leviathan have been closed. There has to be more room on them by now, unless of course SE isn't doing anything about it.

I just deleted (almost) all my alts now that I have a clue about how characters progress. I just need a free xfer or two to keep my vested characters one per server...

This is very frustrating. I convinced about 6 ppl to buy the game, and only ONE of my friends managed to get on the same server as me. The other 5 are totally locked out, and ready to get refunds. I keep trying to assure them that these issues will be fixed but they have lost total faith, and I cant say I would feel any different in their situation.

I can't even get a clue how they progress because I can't get on long enough to play. It's ridiculous beyond belief that the NA/EU servers have been down so often and for so long. Early access to frustration. Not even sure where to have my main now...at all.

I know exactly how your friends feel. Its not fun being unable to play with who you want.

You think this is something they would have learned after making FFXI. That game also made it hard to play with your friends, and its the reason it never got as popular as other MMO's. One had to work very hard to get on the same server as another person they wanted to play with.

I would invite you to play with us but I don't believe that will happen anytime soon. With all the other problems occurring this seems low priority.

Poor decision to go the easy way by locking the server. What about people with friends already in the locked server? I cant ask my friends to quit and start anew neither am i going to play alone out in the cold on other server.

Hard locking ppl out in a mmo is a very inconsiderate move.

Im seriously thinking to give this game a pass because im so annoyed by this.

If there was anything else on the market that played as well as this does I also would pass it up.

Thing is, I REALLY want to play the game, I have friends who have purchased this game, and are hopefully joining us tomorrow, although they won't be because the servers will be locked, and will be faulted with login restrictions, so we will eventually be on the server, just not at the same time.

On a side note, I have just asked one of my buds, if they are actually playing right now, they said no, they are just afk until later tonight (to keep their spot on the server), so I asked them, mind if I take your spot for a few hours? No reply, wonder why?

I really want to play with my friend on Excalibur, but it seems to be always locked. It's kinda frustrating, so I've been leveling a character on another server, but I don't want to get too far.

I think I'm going to try early in the morning when there are fewer people on. Maybe my luck will change then?

It worked for me - I finally got my choice char name on Diablo around mid-day today. better try sooner than later as folks who don't have EA or skipped ea will be out in force tomorrow.

I can't post due to my lvl, and it's obvious cause i can't play it!.
Hows that!

Here is what i want to post
They didn't know how many early access had?
I mean how many people would get in this past weekend to upgrade their servers? (even legacy got huge problems)
I felt this like a BETA 5, but it isn't, we pay for early access, not for wait hours to get in a server (I even didn't get any quequ)

It is possible to manage this kind of situations.
- They knew how many get the early access
- They can put a limit in each server of how many people can do a character in.
- Make more server
- Upgrade their servers
- They can us an auto kick AFK players

I can keep going with this, but... I'm not an developer, I'm just a client who REALLY LOVE THIS GAME and want to PLAY it during weekends.

Do something.
Like someone here say, I'm a patient person, but i payed for this, so i want it now.

I think it would be good of SE to post a list of servers which tells you the maximum number of characters allowed for that world and how many there are currently. That way everyone can see just how full or empty each world is and decide what they want to do then. Be good if they chucked in a free transfer for everyone as well so that groups of friends could all migrate together without having to restart etc.

Tried to create a character today, no EU servers available at all!

It seems at times there is no room on any of the servers.

I've been finding this so frustrating too. Everyone I know is either on Moogle or trying to get onto Moogle yet it's been closed practically all early access. If they gave out free world transfers for the first month then maybe I'd be alright about it but Square aren't doing anything to encourage and help people play together. Guild Wars 2 launch had cross-server partying, overflows and free world transfers (iirc) at launch and that went pretty smoothly. I just don't understand why Square haven't researched all this.

Agreed. I'm sick to death of playing the refresh game and watching all of my friends progress before my eyes, while I sit here twiddling my thumbs. I'm not one to insult others, but it's very moronic to keep people from playing with their friends when that is what keeps people playing, or convinces them to play altogether. Open up Leviathan, Moogle, and Gilgamesh.. GEEZ!

Seems like more servers are closed now then before. So if we don't get in before tomorrow we most likely wont be getting in at all.

Launch actually -should- be in about 11h40min if they do it at the same timing EA started.
Hopefully I get to FINALLY join my friends...but I really doubt it sadly. :/
