Did you pay for it with a credit or debit card? If you did you can contact your financial institution and explain the situation. They will get your money back for you.

Welcome to the world of MMOs. If you want to play in the first few weeks you better expect server problems. And it's by no means a scam. It's common knowledge that MMOs often have problems at the begging.
So, next time you by an MMO in the first few weeks. Keep in mind that there will most likely be server problems. -

People need to quit the crying and complaining...the game just came out...give them time they will get things worked out...when an MMO first comes out there is always gonna be issues so deal with it like the rest of us and be paitent

It is true that most all MMO's have server issues at launch. But what is also true is customer rights when it comes to "finished/fully released" products. Anyone who still can not play the game based on their customer rights in whatever country they live in entitle them to a full refund regardless of what the retailer or company claims.
If you can not play, cant create a character, cant access servers, and your retailer refuses you a refund. Than your bank will fight for you, and win.
I am not saying ppl should be doing charge backs, but it is something that is available to anyone in this exact situation when they can not resolve the issue with customer support, or the retailer they bought it from. -

as of right now for this post 20 of the 27 servers are open and accepting characters
-
09-07-2013, 03:15 PMpctech86
And 7 of them are closed. But of course you should just create a character on a server that 15 of your friends are NOT on. Because this isn't an mmo or anything where you are supposed to play with friends, or anything like it..
-
09-07-2013, 03:19 PMLexiaPeople acting like 7 servers are open and the other 20 are closed, I understand you want to play with your existing friends but you can't choose a different server and get some new online friends after all it is a MMO that you play with others just not your friends.Quote:

People should not what they are getting into when they buy an MMO in the first few weeks. If everyone got a refund then there would be no MMOs.
What annoys me is that people claim that it's a "Scam". The word "Scam" is used far too much. -
09-07-2013, 03:48 PMpctech86This is a pretty dumb statement - almost everyone plays an mmo to play with their RL friends. That's asinine and retarded that somebody would say "ah forget about it make some new friends"Quote:

Scammed means for example you went to ebay, bought a 50" screen top end tv, but when delivery arrives you get a poster of said tv and you paid 1100$ for it.
Buying a product hardcopy and getting your hardcopy of said product is not a scam. Also if youat least know where forums are and seen lodestone you would of been informed that its a known issue they are working on. -
09-07-2013, 04:12 PMLexiaSo if your RL friends decide they don't want to play anymore that mean you going to quit too?Quote:

For many of us, it's playing with a particular group of people that's the main consideration, the particular game we're playing is a secondary issue - I know in my case I have quit other games because the people I was playing with have quit, only for us to meet up again later on in another MMO. And if we can't play a particular MMO together, we'll just wait for the next one.Quote:

Ever notice how things change? The change come slow. Just look, now games popping up left and right not finished yet you can BUY it and play as they develop it. Just read this MMO and others even in this thread people already have the mind set that an UNFINISHED product is ok. A bad launch is now the norm. Look how many dont care about their money. They dont expect anything for it.
You give them your money and take anything they give.. its ok because from EQ, DOC, WOW and so on they KNOW people will PAY anyway if the launch is bad. Just give them a few days or a prize and WOOT OMG BEST MMO EVER! Yet for other things in our life we EXPECT that product to be finished. This is by far one of the worst for me in the way of customer service.
You want to kiss up thats up to you. This is not there 1st time at this. Others have come and gone had good and bad experiences and here we are in 2013..do you know when the 1st mmo came out and its STILL ok to NOT be ready? Hey..if no one says anything..why change they PAY anyway.
Its a great game I feel sorry for those that have problems and come here and no SE to help. Help people read between the lines..they are upset they will say things not nice so let that go and help or dont post.
As for servers? The guy was talking unless I got it wrong ..his friends are on a server that is now LOCKED..NO ONE wants to start on another server where your friends are not there. Has nothing to do with "if they quit you gonna quit too?".. most likely yeah.. that was the reason you joined ..duh.
Last ..this is one very easy game. They made it way to easy to level. Its not hard.. fighting is a blast just to easy. Finial Fantasy has now changed way to much. They gave in to all the voices that wanted a easier game. You got it! -

Probably the best thing I have ever heard is:
If you aren't willing to sit through the growing pains of an MMO, this includes, bugs, errors, log in issues, anything that's not a "smooth" game play, then either you can do 2 things.
1. Don't play MMO's on launches until 2-3 months after.
2. Begin playing in beta phases understanding what exactly to expect before "launch day". -
09-07-2013, 05:30 PMCikala
Expecting bugs here and there is all good. Not being able to create a character on worlds where your friends can play just fine is unheard of as far as I know. That is NOT something that people should be okay with just because the game recently launched. I love this game, but all these white knights are really starting to annoy me. My boyfriend is still, nearly two weeks since launch, unable to create a character on the world I'm on, simply because he choose not to play during beta 4. That is NOT acceptable anymore.

09-07-2013, 05:43 PMgintoki88no its more like people are over reacting when they get a common MMO error and instantly think there purchase was a scam and think they are entitled for a refund.Quote:

Okay, curiosity has me now. 1. Did the friends play during beta? in which case you lose for being the last guy to the party. or 2. Were you just the last guy to the party and everyone else was there on time? it's not a scam that you were too slow to make a character on a given server. A server isn't an infinite space that just goes on and on and on. Hate to break it to ya, but there is a limit to how many people can be on a given server (Not even considering the amount of concurrent connections to said server). So, you have two options at the end. 1. Convince all of them to go to an open server and play together there. 2. don't play, 15 of your friends won't miss you in the long run, and we have one less idiot we have to put up with. /endrant

ya u can't get a refund if u bought a hardcopy it's bs
-
09-08-2013, 06:36 AMdiecast
why do you think you deserve a refund because you can't play on a certain server. I don's see how that's a scam, that's like going to an amusement park and getting mad because the ride your friends are on is full and you have to wait for the next one then demanding a refund. You can play the game as intended. There were issues last week, issues have been fixed for the majority of players.

The game is done. In fact it looks great and I've yet to run into any terrible glitches or bugs. FFXI 5 years in had more bugs than this game lol Within another week or so they'll be rolling out the server transfers (with any luck there'll be a period where they're free) so just roll a character on one of the 20 open servers and feel lucky you' aren't rolling on a JP side of things where over half their servers are locked to character creation. You want to know how popular the game is? One of the brand new worlds they added is already locked to character creation. The only thing I wish they had done was a World Pass system like FFXI has that lets you invite your friends to your server.

09-08-2013, 07:55 AMdiecast
make your friends transfer to a lighter server when they open imo.

09-08-2013, 08:52 AMValiantThat's BS cause i played a few MMO's at start and 1.0 was well prepared for the amount of people but sadly after the free month passed people dropped... atleast thats how it was on palamecia before it became excalibur. Aion was another.. the only servers that had issues were pvp based servers.. and not all were pvp based much like wow it had servers that didnt auto flag you to outside your factions areas.. if a pvp server crashes that just shows you how many wanted or hoped for a stronger pvp based game. 2.0 is the only one i had issues with.. also all wow expansions didnt have issues only some pvp servers... most pve servers dont get as heavy as pvp for some weird reason. i also didnt have any issues with others at launch.. such as phantasy star and about 2 others... which i dropped cause they got boring real fast... dont even have the discs anymore.Quote:

It should be noted that it says in the TOS they reserve the right to withhold access without explanation. It's not a scam, you agreed to it when you registered your game code. If you didn't register the code, then it's refundable.

You are terrible, should feel terrible, and should immolate your modem so as to prevent yourself from spreading your contagious fanboyism to other people. -

Perhaps you don't have friends. Regardless you should immolate your router. -

What is all this anger towards not being able to join a server your friends are on? Its very much common. Any Mmo with a server based system will have FULL servers which you cannot create characters on, which also happens to have your friends on as well.
Also if your 'Friends' truly want to play with you, they would not mind creating new characters on empty servers for you all to have fun together. Otherwise just wait for an option to transfer servers later on while you're playing Solo in the meantime.
