7 Hours

Firstly, let me start off by saying; I'm not one to rant or complain, nor start flaming a game developer for their flaws. No one is perfect and no game is perfect, we live in a very not so perfect world. That being said, I have been trying to log on to the Goblin server (NA), for the past 7 hours. Needless to say, I haven't sat here for 7 hours straight spamming my 0 button, but on and off throughout the day I've been trying to log on. However, for the past hour I have done nothing but try to log on constantly spamming 0.

This is getting to be a little absurd, there needs to be some sort of auto-disconnect like there was in beta. I have no problem paying a monthly service fee, but if I'm going to do so, I expect to play the game when I want to play the game. The worst part is every time I actually get into the queue, it ends up booting me anyways (what is the point of a queue?). I simply don't understand how it doesn't automatically put players into a queue anyways.. At this point I could care less if I'm in a 10000 player queue as long as I don't have to sit here constantly hitting one button with the slight chance of even getting in. I pray to god maintenance tomorrow fixes this, because SE is just begging for players to give up on this game right now. You guys had a second chance to pull this off, and so far you aren't leaving a great impression with newcomers.

P.S: Still a 1000 character limit? what gives?

I feel your pain.

Out of all the days I have played, today's was by far the worse day to try and login for many people. It was a long weekend though, so it's not too surprising why login traffic was higher than normal.

Yeah.. One would think it's 12:00 on a monday most people would've gone to sleep for work already.. Tomorrow is the only day off in months haha and they're doing maintenance as well -_-. This just isn't right by any means. The thing that baffles me the most is that they claim they didn't expect such a high volume of players because it was a reboot.. So the 4.5 million beta applicants didn't drop a few hints that it might be just a little popular? And the 1.3 million pre orders didn't send a red flag? Ridiculous

Well, at least you haven't gotten into the actual queue only to be kicked from the server by error 666 or whatever the heck it is called now a days. But on the brightside I'm now in Silver IV league, go me!

Log in every time, 1.00 am, 5.00 am, 8.30 am, 10.17 am still [1017, 1017, 1017, 1017]

I agree so much. I have not been able to log in for two days now. I had these issues in the second day of phase 4 and that was all I was able to play. Then in EA, I only was able to play 2 days again because of the issues. Now the first week of launch, I have missed a few days again. =( I was happy I didn't start school again until tomorrow and thought I would have a few weeks to play.

I can't be mad at those not logging out, I don't blame you. If I was able to log in, I would not want to log back out and go through this again.

Everyone has the same idea, to stay up late. They still have restrictions for a reason, they will be removed when they are no longer necessary.

No point moaning unless you like the idea of them giving up and leaving the servers broken?

I have played this game over 100 hours since the beginning of early access.
I have never missed a day.
It has never taken me more than an hour to log in.

It's important to understand, even though yes, we shouldn't 'HAVE' to,
That trying once in a while to log in is like buying a lottery ticket.
You won't get in.

Spaces open up periodically for about a minute and it could be any time.
The only way you're going to land in the win column when this short window opens is if you're spamming to enter.

Today has been the worst since launch in terms of logging in. I tried early this morning (8:00 am PDT) with no luck. Now I've been trying, on and off, since around 3 pm and it's just been absolutely frustrating.

Raising the hat

Its not just NA server - japan side also been nothing but impossible to log in at any times the entire day today - I really hope they will fix this.

Probably because NA/EU players who can't get in are moving to the JP servers

As one earlier post stated you just have to be persistent and spam a/x/o what's ever key or button you press to log on. I was locked out all day Saturday but was able to log in finally around 10:30 am Sunday. I also got in this morn and have been logged in all day.

Hopefully the server fix later today will cure the 1017 - 90K blues.

Yeah Sorry I'd prefer not have a game that I paid for and will continue to pay for monthly, have a log in system that has to have a chance of actually being able to get in the game, nor having to spam one button for hours on end just to have a chance. Also I'm so glad you've had the chance to invest over a 100 hours in the game. wut.

I've been trying to long in since 9am pst. I thought maybe I can get on at 10PM pst, I was wrong.

same here thought i could get on with school starting tomorrow and some of the new kiddies going to bed i was dead wrong.honestly though i dont mind the wait impatience can get the better of me but the games good when it is playing and im not crashing from c++ errors

Sorry to hear. I've been lucky enough to manage to get in at some points but getting locked out for extended times really does suck. Hopefully things get better after the maintenance tomorrow evening.

I haven't been a victim as much as alot of you guys, however tomorrow's server upgrade will make or break this game for me.

I'm tired of having to defeat the raid worthy log in boss just to play.

Haha, you're funny. Thank you for the laugh! People aren't moaning. People are venting. There is a difference. I am not asking one person to pity me, to be upset for me, I am not ranting and raving, I am not freaking out. We are venting.

No one asked for them to give up and leave the servers broken. I honestly don't see people asking for much, just to be able to log in. Which at this point, many of us are unable to do. Kicking afk people would have solved much more than getting new servers. New servers from the money pov is sort of senseless. In the long run, kicking afk people would cost way less. These new servers in a few years could end up as pointless. Another game will come along and half the population could be gone in a year or so.

Cool story bro! That's a crazy way for a business to work. And I have been spamming. For an hour? No, I am sorry but I do not think that a game is worth an hour of me spamming. Call me crazy... People are really giving me a good laugh over this. Some of you are too much of the fan boy to see anything else. It's a lotto to play a game... Hahahahaha! thank you too for the laugh!

You're not trying hard enough. I usually get on in 30 minutes or less.

I shouldn't have to "try hard" to log into anything lmao. Some of you people are unreal.

Today has been the worst for me. I finished work early(not to play the game :p) so I have had the misfortune to try and log in prime time. Over an hour of spamming log in, got in a queue twice only to be booted due to server connection!

Frustrating as hell? You bet it is!

Am I going to cancel subs and quit? Not a chance in hell !

Only thing i will mention, for the love of god just implement a queue system !

I'm guessing you missed the part about maintenance happening tonight into tomorrow, right?

You gotta be careful when you spam the 0 button. Occasionally it brings you to a queue widow with a cancel button that looks exactly line the 1017 window. If you're not watching what you're doing you will certainly never get in.

FFXIV has stopped working + The world is currently full = No more fun today.

look at the bright side everyone today they will add new servers and UPGRADE current server this "SUPPOSE" to fix this issue I HOPE

QQ everyone complains about the same thing and basically suggests the same stuff. AFK timers a were already announced to be a consideration AFTER tonights patch. Also, We all know maint is tonight, so lets stat up more posts about the same stuff another 1000 times.

Today's been the worst day since launch day. Been trying 500+ times during the whole day to get in to no avail.

I've only been able to log in once in the past 4 days. I didn't AFK because it's an issue that annoys me so why do it to other people. I have tried for hours at a time with no success(even on JP servers sometimes). Just because it's not happening to you doesn't mean it isn't happening.

You guys should stroll through gridania early in the morning when you would think no one's online but instead you see literally hundreds of players AFK. It's sad really.

man the biggest problem its that people arent logging off... so every server its always full... and NA and EU servers are actually shared... sooo yeah if the AFK players dont get booted in 15 minutes... well servers will never have space for other players.. i do logg of cuss here the electrick bill its ridicule... and its a PS3 so yeah its needs the rest lol any how i just hope they give the chance to move characters from servers... and hope they put a server status, that way people will know if servers its full... its very elemental on every mmo.. server status.. it would be smart to boot every AFK that takes 15 mins to be active.. i kinda feel i wasted my time since betas.. if my character its lost on a ever full server that my friends cant get in... wasted tailoring lvl 22, mining lvl 20, black smith15, armorer 10, arcanist lvl 25, conjurer 22, pugilist 15, i wish i could got higher but servers,,, always full

yes i go in at 5 AM and every body its AFK

Today is the 4th straight day of trying to logon multip[le times all day long and not getting 1 peep. I think I have seen all sorts of messages or screens not showing up...PATHETIC

I got a ton of 90k error last two days, I can't do anything without getting disconnected. It has been fine up until yesterday, have heard similar people experiencing this.
