This is absolutely unacceptable

I'm perfectly fine with bugs, glitches, crashes, or any other things that go along with MMO launches. I have no problems with being in a queue.

However, I was just online doing crafting on my Weaver and the game crashed. I IMMEDIATELY logged back in and attempted to continue crafting. I was put in a queue. The window came up saying that I was number 24 in the queue. Whatever. That's a little messed up but it's fine.

What's not fine is having that window then disappear and it be replaced with 1017 telling me that the world is full and to fucking try again later.

Haven't been able to log in the past two days due to "world is full" (1017). Have a feeling my free 30 days will probably be occupied by the 1017 error.

Paying for a game leads to the expectation that one will be able to play it. So far it has been virtually unplayable for a large number of people. The excuse that it is launch and there are always problems with launches doesn't fly with me anymore as there have been a number of good launches--yes, there were bugs during launches but nothing that made the game unplayable like: login limitations, disappearing server lists, repeated maintenance down time, inability to progress story due to issues with instances, 10102 errors, 90000 errors, 3102 errors, lack of login queues and so on. I have not seen a launch go this bad since WoW. The idea that these problems will be fixed in a week or two post launch does not erase the fact that other games have produced a playable game at launch and in doing so, established a standard that FF has failed to meet. I think it is also unreasonable to expect people to pay for a game that is not playable. A subscription should not be an investment in being able to play the game in the future. It is a payment for a service that is to be rendered at the time of payment. I will gladly pay for a subscription when I can play the game in a reasonable manner. Until then, I will spend my money with another company that is able to provide the service for which I am paying.

A) The Queue should exist PERIOD. None of this "The world is currently full, try again later" bull.
B) You should never be put into a queue and then be told "The world is full, try again later"
C) If the servers have a cap, there should be an auto-disconnect timer.

With ya on that one dude, but damn if I out lvl my character on the jp server I doubt I will ever come back to NA, currently playing on Durandal. Funny thing is I don't even see any latency on the JP servers I have tried(tried 5 just to see if there was a difference), and I am not located on the pacific coast either. In fact I am in the Midwest and I swear there is a lot less leg on jp server for me than on Adamantoise.

Probably nothing at all man, in the terms/services it pretty much says that any payment received is for the "final" product at launch on the 27ths of August.

All in the wording actually. We received the EA as a gift for choosing to pre-order. The EA was in fact not part of the actually pre-order commitment and was instead offered as a bonus gift for choosing that option.

On another note, still getting 1017 but haven't brought myself to click on the jp server.. Hate doing stuff twice in 3 days on mmo's.... what a poop of a day 109 degree heat index here, been that way for about a week here.. Its not too bad though I like the heat, problem is I work for a garbage company LOL. Riding around on the back of a garbage truck, just imagine...

90+ tempratures all week long + a weeks worth of food in a trashcan(or barrel -_-) = equals things that thrive in the deepest darker regions of hell itself... oh the creepy-crawlies I seen today...-shivers a bit- It was horrific did you know some of them are like 2 inches long... but rarer still are the ones that get that long and are an inch in diameter... By the way creepy-crawlies are what me and my coworkers have dubbed the maggot...

But I was in a good mood all day, just to get home... Promising myself it didn't matter cause the game would be fixed to day all the problems would be solved... well guess what... 1017... Spose it was my fault I got my hopes up, but eh... this sucks!

I'm noticing that too and I don't like it. I'm showing "good" connection to EVERY EU/NA server, and "excellent" connection to EVERY JP server. This is pretty jacked up for the day before official launch.

That's what I've been saying all along. There is no reason why NA/EU players shouldn't be playing on the JP servers if only SE wasn't being stupid and separately labelled those servers as if only Japanese people could play on it. It's a pointless psychological barrier that didn't need to exist. If we just did away with the JP/NA/EU server labels and just have one single list of 50 servers then we'd have an even distribution of players speaking all languages across all servers instead of the lopsided situation right now where JP servers are half empty and NA/EU ones are bursting at the seams.

If you agree with this then please go to my thread and keep it bumped to the top: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...s-(PLEASE-READ)
