this is getting old FAST!!

ok square get off your butts and fix the servers this make 2 days in a row I cant log in because of the 1017 monster im about 2 more 1017s from quitting and turning my WoW account back on it may be repetitive as hell but at least I can play it for christs sake. you guys had every opportunity to blow blizzard out of the water with this game but it aint gonna happen if people that's been faithful since 1.0 release cant even get on!!!

It is frustrating, but it means the game is good and popular. They already announced today that they are implementing increases to server capacity that should roll out in the next week. This means more players allowed on servers. For now, the 1017 is a temporary fix to keep more players from logging in than the servers can handle. I'm in the same boat, but I know the high population is a good thing and the fact that they have posted multiple messages regarding this issue and letting us know how they're fixing it is much nicer, and faster, than anything Blizzard ever did at WoW launch.

P.S. - WoW launch had the exact same problems for the same amount of time. Just be patient, and this game is going to continue to kick ass. :)

Cry me a river this is launch week, and also they have a post about it saying they are monitoring things and made plans on what to do.

Cry me a river? When you can't log into a game and they are taking what a week to fix it, that isn't a game a whole heap of people will be interested in. It is taking them THAT long to fix they may as well not bother because the new server space will not be required.

Wow woos unplayable for almost 6 month, because of lagg ween it released

They are not making the worlds bigger only adding more worlds as said in the post about the 1017 error. I hope the do both though

I played wow at release, i got the game at midnight. I did NOT take them the same about of time. It took them less than 12 hours. I tried in til 4 am of continued DC problems. Went to sleep, got up at noon and played all day, as did everyone else. No one was locked out for 4 days, no one had to try and spam connecting because the que was disable most of the time, the rare times you get a que you do not wait for 10 min longer just to get 1017. They also did not close support tickets because they had to many, they worked through them and got things fixed. The failed at testing the game before release and we are paying for it.

I also played WOW at release and have to agree that i may not have picked it up at midnight as i was at work but when i got off at 8 am i bought it had it installed by 10 am and wasnt able to play for about 30 min because of emergency maintanance. but after that no problems playing

The game needs less apologists like you. Idgaf if its launch week. the same issues have been happening since freaking phase 4. all the way to early access and now the launch of the game.

I'm with Max on this one, we're paying for a service to be available. That service is not available. I have yet to see SE offer any sort of recompense or hints at making things right for their community. They have explained that they're out of capacity and will fix it, but even EA had Sim City fixed faster than this and they at least made some pitiful effort to say they're sorry and offer some crappy game. At this point I spend 2-4 hours/day attempting to log in. That's 2-4 hours/day that I'm not leveling up or enjoying a game that I'm paying for. If I wasn't paying for this then beggars can't be choosers and I'd be patient with SE, since they're charging me I expect a service in exchange for the $ that I put up.

The sad thing is that the servers most likely don't even need to be increased at this point. The lack of a queue combined with the lack of an afk kick is causing a cyclical problem where a ton of the people in the game are afk for long periods of time to avoid the login grind. Add the ability to queue (Which SHOULD be there from the start) and kick afkers after 15 minutes (Only some will macro past and they can be suspended for botting).

The real gripe I have is the lack of queue. Not having one should be considered such a design flaw that your career is at stake. This is like forgetting steering when designing a car. Instead of being able to be productive while we wait and do other things we are forced to constantly try to log in. What a load of crap. Login issues are expected for the first few day, not a week after and not of this magnitude.

-Einstein is closer to solving the perfect equation before you fix your servers.....and he's dead.

-You're so fat, that even the momma from yo momma so fat jokes moves quicker than your servers.

-A tarutaru walks into an elven bar, only because his server was invaded by 1017 monsters.

-I was more excited when I bought this game than when I started playing it.

-As I am typing this I watched my dog grab his bowl, bring it to me and sit down and look in my eyes. She proposed an issue and I fixed it but not being lazy and getting up and giving her food. Would you like to borrow her and take notes?

Hope this helps. By the way Yoshida, giving everyone a free week of playtime is such an arrogant and stereotype fix. At least try to show you give a crap about the people who play your games, especially after you failed through FFXIV (1). Yet I am still loyal to FF. I must be on drugs.

I'm pissed off as well, a lot people are. You want to vent? That's fine. Just be aware of how incredibly retarded you look right now.

You're insulting Square Enix, who made a game you're so desperate to play that you're foaming at the mouth because you've been denied access to it. You seem to think that your mad ravings will somehow affect the speed at which the issue is being resolved, or that your hate-filled words will somehow travel back in time and resolve the issue before it occurs.

The funny part is that the second these issues are fixed, we'll probably never see any of you on these forums ever again. You'll be too busy enjoying the game like the hypocrites you are. I know I won't come back here, but at least I'll have kept my dignity.

Your pathetic display of child-like impatience, along with your complete lack of empathy or understanding, would almost be laughable if it wasn't so damn depressing.

Whats sad is the fucked up once in ffxiv 1.0 then they release a game called "reborn" and fuck up worse ha makes you wonder if you really need a college degree to work for Square Enix or just the mind set of a 12yr old and a keyboard.

Stop with the high and mighty nonsense. As you said this is a legit issue and SE should be brought to task because of it. Venting about a clear issue, and then enjoying the game once the game is able to be enjoyed isn't being a hypocrite.

For the life of me I just can't fathom how they A) didn't implement a AFK auto kick or B) a queue system for logging in. I mean those are like MMO development 101, basic shit that shouldn't even be a question. And to compound the issue with now nearly 2 weeks since the game going live (at least for early access) and this still being an issue is bush league as hell.

They've had a little over two years to develop something that would normally take twice that amount to build. Yes, it's incredibly frustrating but there's bound to be issues. At least they're being adressed.

You bring up two valid points and hopefully they've come up often enough for SE to pick up on them, but until then we have to bide our time. I just don't see the point in flaming a company who's game your going to play anyway. It's a waste of time and it doesn't help in the slightest.

Granted SE are having a problem because they did not think that so meany people will be playing FF, also they were on Labor day and not much people would work that day. What my guess they should do is work on the AFK problem, that way the idle people can get kicked and make more room for anyone who wants to play, another thing SE should give us at least another week or so once the problem with 1017 is fix that way for those who has been trying to log on for the last week and has no luck wont have there 30 days sub-free be waisted on "trying" to log in that is all we are asking any ways right
