Log in situation is getting worse?

Usually i can atleast get to the character selection reliably enough. But today i can barely get to that. Click on character maybe 1-10 times then unable to update NA servers and have to shut down client a few times till they come back. This shit is fucked.

seems that way.

Labor Day Weekend hit the servers hard x-x

Yup. Shit is stiiilllll broke.

How many holidays do you 'Muricans have to have anyway?! I had tv shows I could have fallen back on whilst the servers had issues! But they didn't air because of your bloody Labor Day! D:

I can log in.

If I don't get 1017.

If I can load NA/EU.

If I can even click "Start."

If I can even log into the launcher.

Well they are fixing it on Wednesday, only reason they haven't done it sooner is because this weekend was PAX and they were busy I guess.

Certainly been a rough weekend. Got on Saturday night but last night I didn't have a hope. On the upside, I've had some outstanding afternoon naps.

Don't forget the fairly high chance of getting the error 90,000 whenever you zone, forcing you to repeat the process.

Yeah you got people mindlessly spamming the log in all day everyday which is causing more congestion

It's mildly hilarious that everybody seems to think that Wednesday is going to be some sort of mystical bandaid that fixes all of the overcrowding issues. I would be very, very surprised if that is the case - SEs severs aren't just slightly over quota, they've massively over quota. It's going to take more than a minor capacity increase to fix it.

Thy actually never told us how much they are going to increase the servers by not that i care by the time i get this game there will be no issues but anyway yeah expect the worse to happen

Yes and no lets think for a second here they had 1.0 which was the single worst game ever and it turned alot of people away. They decided to re make the game and thought it wasn't going to get no where near as much attention that it did because of 1.0 so they made an guess of exactly how many people would be playing. During Alpha and Beta test 1-2 there were a very small percentage of players then when beta phase 3 came the ps3 players and some more pc players got in i think that was the true test of their population expectations. During phase 3 which lasted what a month? There were no login issues at all even when we stress tested the servers which lasted what a week or two near the end of phase 3? So because of that the devs became very certain that the amount of players that were in phase 3 was going to be the amount of players they had at launch. But then the phase 4 started and thats when everything went wrong and i bet the devs kind of wished they didnt advertise the game as much as they did because swarms and swarms of people came in and ever since then they've been having problems with the servers .

There is a queue but what from i heard it needs fixes and theres the afk timer thing that needs to be included but to me these arent the main issues this right here is the main issue http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZcvykGI8BBs

Not just that, but how the @))^$(%!@*^& the update will fix ULTROS server that is overloaded almost 24/24, the only damn time i can log in is from 2~4 AM and at 6AM is back imposible to log on until the next 2~4AM window.

Adding 90,000 SERVER will do JACK NOTHING FOR ULTROS , we need a @$@$&*@$ FREE transfer....

I know i said ultros server only, i'm sure some other server having huge issue too, but when i read:

-Oh you can spam LOGIN for 15 min and you get in every time...

---

If it means that i can FINALLY stop seeing eyesore posts and threads like this one every day i do hope they give you your transfer so yall can finally stfu

So are there people actually playing in the NA/EU servers right now?
I've been trying to get in for 2 hours, and it went from letting me attempt to log in, to no servers for you.

It probably won't solve everything, but it probably won't hurt.

Probably.

Don't worry, they gave us an extra seven days to not be able to log into their game

Same here, all ive been getting are the JP server lists.

Same here, part of me is grateful that I haven't had these problems until today, but tonight it will not happen, 1017's and 2002's.

Well not on ultros, i spammed for 2h long many time since Early access and nothing, the only effect i do when i spam is: UNABLE TO FIND NA/EU SERVER and i need to close the game or it never come back by itself...

This.
10char

its a vicious cycle...first JP servers vanish...so everyone go back to the NA...which taxes the NA, then people try and try to log in, which taxes the login lobby. and then in the mean time, people flood the forums, which taxes that. so far the forums seem to be doing well.

Today is pretty bad with logins =(. Labor day blues.

And judging by the topics on the forums, thats not a good thing either lol.

Im getting 1017 as soon as I hit start lol!

Yup, seems worse for me. I've been actually getting during the early A.M.s all week until yesterday. Now I go through this raid boss list....

1. Launcher Error Boss
2. Start Button Boss
3. Lobby World Boss
4. NA/EU Server List Boss
5. Moogle Loading Screen Boss (Comes in several forms)
6. Queue Boss

I gave up on trying to log in to this game for the rest of the day until "maybe" around 8PM, it's now 3PM. I'm getting to the point where if Square doesn't fully resolve the log in issues, and that issue alone, by Wednesday I'm canceling both my sub and my fiance's sub and we will just wait till Elder Scrolls Online comes out to play on our PS4's.

The Fiance doesn't even want to play anymore as is, she's gotten bored having to play other games while Square fumbles with resolving the basic need to kick out AFK players.

I'm currently playing through Doom 3 BFG Edition on my PS3 while she sleeps, so much for leveling my Paladin and her Scholar.

Same ppl sayinhg rthere quitting will be back in a week. After everything is fixed.

we literally have a holiday for everything, today we celebrate people working by not working! HUZZAH!!

As more and more people decide to afk, the window that people can log in dwindles, causing more spam of the lobby.

Today was the worst day for me so far I didnt even get in one time....played alot this weekend overall...really got into the fishing it is so relaxing and fun I think...and the fishing spots you can find are so beautiful.

I just wanted to Fish for a a few hours today damnit! lol

Yup pretty bad. I got dced from an error earlier and been trying to get in for a few hours now and no dice nor a chance at que. I guess more people are staying afk.

Yes the log in situation is getting worse. The servers for NA/EU have been terrible. They were down more than they were up for the 2 hours I tried logging in today. SE needs to fix the RELIABILITY of their servers since they restrict the environment (server log ins and character creation).

Edit: I realize I used poor word choice above. The servers for NA/EU were up because I had friends playing the game when I couldn't log in. However, the NA/EU servers would rarely showed up on the log in screen.

Now I'm thinking out loud but I think SE needs to fix the reliability of their log in system since the servers were actually up. There is no way the servers should completely disappear for complete hours while trying to log in. Maybe they could say the servers are full or something but not have them completely vanish.
