Please shutdown all servers now!

It is getting ridiculous now. I can't log in my server for a full day. Does Square have any backup plan for this release ? do they have any backup server for release if players are more than what they expected? never seen a online game company response so slow to fix the server issue. 1 or 2 days we can understand, 1 week we can understand. but now it is more than 1 week. we still have the same issue. it is real bad production release team with zero backup plan.

Japan Time Is The Only Time.

It's taken me 10 mins max to get on every time. Also please actually read what square has posted they have clearly said they will be limiting log ins until tegu upgrade and add servers on wed. They have told you their plan, so posts like these do nothing. If logging in is too frustrating I suggest taking a break from this game for a while until the issues have resolved. FF14 isnt critical infrastructure such as electricity and they don't need to shut everything down and fix it today or people die. It's a video game and they are already working on issues and they are currently doing quality assurance tests on the solutions, which I rather them do then push something out that might make things worse.

Tl;dr patience is a virtue

Yes lets shut the servers down because you can't play

Makes perfect sense...

I've been playing all day today and yesterday. How does that make you feel?:D

but but I need to play Q_Q

Game launched the 27th, its the first today...we have until the 3rd for it to be 1 official week of launch...Yoshi stated they have stuff set up this upcoming wed...

While I agree their contingency planning was non existant, they are slowly getting something up to maybe fix our problems...the real problem was launching a game with no afk timer,

ex•ploit2 (ɪkˈsplɔɪt)

v.t.
1. to utilize, esp. for profit; turn to practical account: to exploit a business opportunity.

2. to take advantage of; promote.

3. to use selfishly for one's own ends.

Today:

1017 for 25 minutes.
Get in, 90k after 5 minutes.
Try to get back in, 3102 for 10 minutes.
1017 for 15 minutes.
Get in, 90k after 3 minutes.
Try to get back in, NA servers don't show up. Exit client.
Enter client again, start button is greyed out, error 2002 after 10 seconds. Exit client.
Enter cilent again, start button is working, 1017 for 10 minutes.
Logged in, finally get to play!!! .....90k after 5 minutes.

I understand games can have issues, but the incompetence of SE worries me because if they were able to screw up something as important as this, what other problems may there be down the line?

I hope by Wednesday these issues are resolved, not for my sake, but for the success of the game. I don't want this fantastic game to fail because people refuse to put up with this awful login experience.

I agree they cant really do anything in these short spans of maintenance. SHUT IT ALL DOWN. Give them 3 full business days to get their shit together and reopen then. I rather have this than seeing my friends and others complain about not being able to get in.

lol i've been stuck in 10102 for 2 days literally used up all my energy trying to get in every now and then i can't even complain properly to SE anymore nice job square hope you're enjoying urself at pax

I can't play so you shouldn't either!


Waah waaah waaah!

I'm a massive, selfish child!

We all love d bags on the forums have fun having no life.

Yes, because since YOU obviously only try to log in on off hours, everything must be fine. I love all these %#$^'s that support this inexcuseable excuse for a launch.

1. They already attempted this once, and they still managed to F it up again.
2. They already knew this was a problem a WEEK before launch, because they had the same damn problems in P4.
3. It's already been more than a WEEK since early access started and we still have the same problems.

NO MORE EXCUSES

I just logged out to sleep so one of u can play. Good night.

You sound like the childish one. I had to adjust my sleep schedule just to play this game. I have to get up at 12 am and play until 5am then sleep. Only time I can get in. When school starts I obviously cant be doing that... GTFO!

If shutting it down is the only way to get a quick fix THEN DO IT!

If pple are really spending 12 hours trying to login then I am seriously worried for this community. All the things you could've done during those hours........

I would much rather sleep fully and go to school wide wake than play this game. Or go work for 8 hours.

your right you can be doing something else i watched 2 movies and 3 anime episodes while sitting there pressing my 0 key trying to get in that about 4 and a half hours of doing nothing but trying to get in but hey at least i was doing something else at the same time :D

Got to keep trying, once you see the queue then you have a chance. I finally got in today around 10:30am EST once I rebooted my pc (the constant 2002 and 5006 errors seemed to jack up the game client). Still from the time I got up this morn (9am) it took me around 1 1/2 hrs to get in lol. And folk wonder why some AFK.

You changed your sleep schedule for a video game?

Seriously, get a life.

I work all day, come home and manage to log in with a bit of perseverance.

Instead of whining on the forums like a selfish entitled child why not spend that time trying to log in, you'll manage it if you stop whining.

I log out when I go to sleep, and had no issues with the NA servers (except when in peak times people manage to crash the lobby server and I'm greeted with 2002 - pls go get some rest from the game). truth be told, I'm playing in the evenings Tokyo time, so my case is not the norm.

Getting kicked off after the difficult login process, as described by Randalthor, is worse than a horrible experience, but the situation isn't that the game is broken. The servers have been supporting gameplay for hundreds of thousands of people, 24 hours a day, since before launch.

I don't like it at all, either. And I think SE really needs to implement something after the fix to allow people to move characters to servers where their friends, guild, and family are. The existing worlds will stay over-full until something is done to either increase their capacity significantly or move a lot of people to the new worlds.

Just 2.5 more days of this frustrating insanity, both for us and for the SE ops in both datacenters.

How fast can you get, lets say for ...

10 to 20 worlds, each using 3-5 server machines, delivered, software installed, plus getting your hosting service to expand your network traffic, make programming change, all just to resolve the congesting issues? Oh yeah, and you have to do this at 2x locations, one being across the world during the time that you should be sleeping.

2 days?!?! One week? Two weeks?

That's not what they're trying to say. I think it's the fact that there are so many errors and people unable to log on that at this point it's better that they just take their servers down, fix all the bullshit that's going on, and then bring them up when the majority of players are actually able to enjoy the game. I have to say I'd be in agreement with that arrangement.. I'd rather them fix the game so that the majority be able to play the game flawlessly 99% of the time rather than a small minority being able to play well 10% of the time. It's ridiculous.

the lobby servers wont even load up now i login and the start button wont even show up then get kicked off

Your idea is illogical OP
