will error 1017 be finally removed? maintenance question

Ive read somewhere that in the japanese version of maintenance notice, they said that aside from adding new servers, they will also be upgrading their server's capacity that will hopefully be able to accommodate all the players even during peak times (we are paying to play after all)

Anyways from the english version ive seen no message that says theyre upgrading the capacity and will only be adding new servers

Hmmmmm, seem like they like the Japanese more :-P

No it will not

No, there just adding more stability and a actual que, more will be fixed though hopefully..

Oh well :/ guess i still have to afk in game.

Kinda got my hopes high because of the 10hour maint and their promise that they will expand their capacity this week

Nope. All that it will allow is more people to afk to keep servers full all the time. I expect it will be another few weeks before they do something about afk, which will help relieve more of the login issues.

Unless they are doubling the capacity and doubling the servers nothing much is going to change. And I don't find that feasible.

As one of the biggest critics of this game on this forum, I say just wait. Let the weekend come and that will be the true test of whether or not this maintenance was effective at accomplishing its goals. It is a rather big disappointment that they didnt introduce an AFK system but we now at least get to see how not having such a thing really affects this game.

Uh.. They sure have said it in English information, in 2 seperate Lodestone headlines:

To resolve this issue, we will be performing maintenance from September 3, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. to September 4, 2013, at 3:00 a.m (PDT), for the purpose of increasing the number of available Worlds, reducing stress on the Duty Finder servers, and increasing the number of concurrent logins allowed for each server.

To address this matter, we are currently working on introducing new Worlds and enhancing the performance of the login and match making processes on both the Japanese and North American & European data centers. This operation is expected to be completed at the beginning of next week.

Also Yoshi-P's post a few days ago:

The addition of new Worlds, as well as the adjustments to the duty finder servers, will be complete as of tomorrow. We will then enter our final internal testing phase of these features in preparation. If the results from these tests are favorable, we will conduct an extended all-World maintenance on Wednesday (Japan time). Once the new Worlds are implemented and the duty finder server load has been redistributed over smaller World server groups, we believe that many of the login issues that players are currently experiencing will clear.

He also touched on it at the PAX interview he did.

I do hope that before they implement the afk system, they should atleast increase the capacity of their server. Not to bash se but so far, this is the only game who charges people monthly but cant accommodate everyone. But its okay it is still in the early stages anyways.

I just hope they inc capacity before they introduce afk system. Because i always get home at server peak time and without afking i wont be able to play

Exactly what Estellios said, the Notice say it will help with all those issues - but of course we will know for sure tomorrow at Peak time or at 3am if everyone gets up early or stays up late and tries to log in at the same!
So we shall see~

That's what the update is for.

I sure hope so, it's infuriating. If you want to give me a 5000 man queue be my guest but don't just say world full or even lie and say unable to access the servers when I can see on a site that they're all up. To me thats the real issue here, and its why it takes some people 6 hours or all day to get in

Lol yeah I love it when I get message saying can't not access servers while my husband is playing. And I would rather sit in a que of 5000 myself over the server full try again later. Because later is not helpful at all. Try telling your boss the freeway is full and you'll be in later. Of course your boss will demand you get in asap. But in this case we all know later really means spam 0 or X or you'll never get on.

i am considering re rolling on one of the new servers. a totaly fresh start since i havent realy been able to get into one character very well due to these issues :D

Well if they dont expand the server capacity chances are, in 2days time, the new servers will have error 1017 as well

From my knowledge, they are adding more worlds - which could lead to possible free server xfers to lower population - and they are increasing server caps and the queue caps. So if they increase the queue caps, then yes 1017 will be gone hopefully, because that is what 1017 was; was a full queue.

I'm hoping they at least up the capacity to 25000 per server! In this day and age of MMOs that is a realistic figure. 5000 was so far below the norm its just silly...especially for a game which has such a gigantic fanbase.

Agreed. Im surprised they placed a very limited capacity on their servers. I guess se doesnt have that much confidence in this game and expected only a few population. But oh well, yoshi said that if this maint actually fixed the queue, they are planning on extending the capacity of every server on wednesday

This,

Because 1017 isn't an error. It's an automated message. If it was an error, an issue with the game's coding, connection, or data corruption would be causing it.
