NA/EU Server list won't connect for the last 30 minutes.

Seems there's an issue with the servers or at least the list of them... Can't even create a character on a JP server to tied me over since they are all locked at the moment... :mad:

Goes longer than that. I've been trying unsuccessfully for the last hour.

Has anyone seen an acknowledgement of the NA/EU character list issue?

10:22 AM, getting the same error still. Lobby server broken. Then NA/EU can't connect. :( I don't want to waste ANOTHER Sunday not being able to log in. C'mon folks!

You think 30 minutes is bad? I purchased the game 4 days ago and this is the message I've been getting upon every login attempt.

Still encountering that Error , been trying again for 3-4 hours.
Its like Early Access all over again....

Please SE fix this Oo

Only thing today is the JPN data centre worlds (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forums/625-Status). Nor anything on twitter.

Maybe it's SE fixing their servers and all will be well after this....

I have been having the same issue since around 9:00am cst. Is this going to be a problem every day, do they plan to ever fix this. The server problems have been ongoing since launch.

I lost connection last night at around 21:15 BST, gave up on trying to get the NA/EU server list. Went to bed, got up at 9 this morning, went to work, am now home from work and I still can't get the NA / EU server list!!!

These server/connection problems are definitely annoying. But what bothers me even more is the lack of clear communication. I haven't seen the servers up for awhile now.

Its a Japanese corporation the culture over there is to acknowledge the problem then put your head down and fix it. They posted We know there is an issue we are gonna fix it this is how we gonna fix it and estimated time till completion. After that there is no need for any further communication till the issue is resolved. And honestly thats all i feel we need. We do not need to be held by the hand and told daily, "yup the problem is still there, Yup we are still aware, yup we are still working on it, yup should still be early next week"

why isnt what they already told us enough for everyone. All the information is posted that we need to know. So settle down take a chill pill and relax till the day they said they would have it fixed comes around. if its still not fixed by tuesday then start QQing about when is it gonna be fixed.

It's not QQing if it is a new problem.

There are notices of JP server problems today.

It is possible that some people are trying to figure out if their own system is having issues , or whether it is a NEW issue on SE's side.

Not a new problem. I was having this issue yesterday and it finally connected to the na/eu servers. However my server was full so I played an alt for the night. Now this morning the issue is back.

I was actually referring to the fact that the servers have been down for the past couple hours(or at least it seems that way,) they should at least tell us when there's no possible chance of logging on at all. If you feel that one post at opening day is enough communication to excuse all future problems, then more power to you. But I'm assuming that if you weren't at least a little annoyed by the way they are handling things, you wouldn't be here on the forums, let alone telling everyone else how they should feel.

The hamsters are on their break, till then let's just hope it get's sorted

Oh boy a long 3 day weekend. I'll get so much game time in after working a 50 hour wee- oh wait silly me lol, I forgot this is Square we're dealing with. *Chuckles* oh man I can't believe we actually thought we'd be able to play our game. I feel so gullible.

It was about 3 hours, and when I finally get in...'World server is full'. C'mon-if I want to play at least give a queue list. I wont care about being in a queue of 1-2k people if I know Im gonna get in at some point and don't have to keep spamming buttons that are just gonna clog up the login server further than it already is. -_- Otherwise the message saying 'wait until there is an opening is available' is a ridiculous statement at best. : / (how DOES one go about finding this 'opening'? eh)

Ive had no problem at all this weekend till i had to reset my router about 3 hours ago since then ive had every error code u can think of cant connect to server msgs ive even bin put in a que and then booted out of it even when it was a que of 1 :( gotta say im gettin fed up now

have had good success last 3 days until this morning central time NA it keeps saying the server is down, or the world can't load, i have had those messsages before where my charater wouldn't load, i restarted my ps3 that usually did it, something is up with the servers

I didn't get in at all yesterday because of 1017, and I had been trying since like 11 AM CST. Finally went to bed early at like 10:30 and woke up early this morning to try. First it was that I couldn't populate the NA/EU server list. Then I had some fatal lobby errors.

Finally got through the lobby and now it has my character but can't populate the JP server list, which I don't care about lol. But I'm faced with 1017 again, world is full. I'm going to keep trying every 2-5 minutes until I get into a queue.

Just right now I got, so it seems they are doing maintenance on it or I think that they are they better be

Unable to update the Group NA/EU character list

I like you.
You have hope no one here has because we all know that's not true.
Junk won't be fixed till Wednesday.

been trying to log in for like 4h, got every error from early and now the lodestone is showing no entries...

Yesterday I couldn't get the NA/EU server list to load for 6 hours. And now today, it's back to the same thing. I just started trying, but it is still currently no loading.

Seems they've thrown so many error codes at me and server lists not available that SE just doesn't care if people are able to play. So far..

NA / EU list unavailable
Error 3102
Error 90000
Error 6001
Error 10102
Error 1017
Oh! I got a que!
No.. wait... Error 1017 again :(

Yep, like everyone else, "Unable To Update NA / EU Character List".

I've been dealing with this problem all morning. For 3 hours. I'm getting very annoyed. I haven't said a single bad thing about this game since the release. I haven't said anything about SE either but.. I'm getting tired of wasting my time trying to log onto a game. Why is this such a problem..? You think they would of addressed this and figured out these issues a couple days ago. I mean its the most important part of the game.. Logging in and getting to play.

Can't Connect either very annoying doubt it will get fixed any time soon though :(

dont forget SE isnt working today labor day weekend >no skeleton crew either "i say sue em" lol JK but still would be funny to see SE squirm because of their own incompetance and lies
i doubt the servers will be fixed by wednesday

EU/NA servers are back up, but my world is full. Good luck everyone.

As i was spamming zero key, i kept getting JP servers cannot be retentive, now is our turn i guess... Getting exact same thing

http://www.50-best.com/images/funny_...funny_meme.jpg

The game crashed for me this morning. When I started it back up, the servers were there but the world was full (surprise, right?). But then I had to restart my computer and when it was back up, about 5 mins ago, I started to get this error.

If everyone is getting this error at different times, is it a local issue?

There are tons of people online on Balmung and it looks like they've been online for quite some time. I think it might be an error in communication with the servers. I'm logged in now and I'm not leaving at all no matter what. I suggest you all do the same when you finally get in.

So I take it that the NA/EU servers are down until Wednesday...makes me think this is starting to be like when World of Warcraft first launch, servers up for one hour down for 3 days, up for 2 hours down for 5 days. maybe that is what they should do close the servers, work on them until Wednesday, and see what new problems their patch brings cause we all now when a game gets a new patch, it makes more problems then it fixes.

Here is how it works or so it seems to me after trolling threads: 1) Worlds fill up as people login (at some point). 2) World fills up the connections and starts a Queue. 3) At a certain point, square admins or queue stops accepting new connections to the world and also (possibly) kicks anyone in queue. 3) Connections to the world are no longer taken until load on world either lowers a certain amount or admins reopen queue when it lowers a certain amount.

Add to this the notion that has gone around that if you get in, do not logoff even if not playing. This would cause worlds to fill and never get to the lower thresholds to open more connections as people stay on rather then opening up slots.

However it works, I have not been able to login to any character on any world since Friday afternoon. I am giving up for this weeken.

I got in, but it took about 20-30 minutes. Just gotta keep tryin.

I am able to log in and select my character, but when connecting to the game I get an error message saying "Connection with the server was lost" [error code 10102]

And I am from the UK and trying to connect to Moogle world - is anyone else able to get in cos I am going crazy as I having been able to play the most part of the weekend. Its so annoying as I took this weekend off work to play.

Am just frustrated at not being able to play is all - so SE please fix this asap! We didnt have any issues during beta. I feel like I have wasted money on the collector's edition and I only managed to connect once and even then I had to waste time and create a new character.

I've no doubt the servers are actually up. But it seems like most people can't load server info. I know I can't and I've tried a lot. And even if it worked once, I would almost definitely get 1017 and then be back to not loading server info.
