[Follow-up] Login Limitation After Emergency Maintenance (Aug. 25): Follow-up
We are continuing to limit the number of logins following the emergency maintenance on Aug. 25, 2013 from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. We will continue to control the number of logins to prepare for the upcoming user influx that we expect during peak hours. If you are currently unable to login, please try again at a later time.

Again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that this is causing everyone, but we would like to ask for your continued cooperation to make this a stable environment.

Will not pay to play a game with issues such as these. i see this game heading towards free to play very quickly

Unable to update the Group NA/EU Character List

Been getting this for 2 hours now it's pretty awesome SE, FIX THIS CRAP ALREADY....plz

Login limitations are not acceptable at this point. They've had nearly two days to get some other hardware in place, and it's what they should have started working on from the onset of the issues yesterday. The JP servers are fine (now, they've had the same issues as NA/EU), provided you can update the list once logged into the launcher. I was tooling around on Garuda and there were quite a few NA/EU players creating characters, and generally being disgruntled about our situation.

They aren't going to fix - that would require competence. What they will do (and are doing as we speak), is limit the amount of people who can log-in. That is their fix, and it seems pretty obvious its only going to get worse as we head into prime time tonight.

Had this issue for hours. Just not bothering to log in anymore..

Thing is, what that post refers to is the "The world is currently full, please try again latter" message and the player log in queue. This bullshit about not being able to update the world list and/or error 1017 is something different and as yet unacknowledged.

What pisses me off is all the people running around making excuses for the actual issues like being unable to progress because instances were frakked earlier, or being unable to even see the NA/EU worlds even though they are supposedly up. Yes, MMO launches are stressful times and never go perfectly, but 90% of the issues we have seen so far should have been found and dealt with during the stress test part of the beta. You know, that one were 200k+ NA/EU players were locked out of the game for 90% of the test. The same one where the only true "stress" portion of the test occurred during off-peak hours from 2 am to 8 am Monday morning. (CDT).

As much as I'm sure the majority of the idiots I see online nowadays would hate it, this game SHOULD have been delayed another 2 weeks for a proper round of stress testing. (Before anyone gets their panties in a twist, you should know I am not referring to YOU specifically as one of the "idiots", and anyone else who immediately feels like I am talking about them probably IS one.)

Yoshi said early on that they didn't feel they would need to stress test the game since it was built on the existing FFXIV 1.0 server framework, but (aside from any issues with 1.0 >_> ) the fact that they broke the record for number of simultaneous logins during an open beta TWICE and that the first time was on Friday, when the game was only open to the closed beta testers, should have make them stop and rethink that.

I am also getting this and error 1017 too. This "early access" is just not working out for SE right now

[Astralen]

Honestly, is anyone able to play at all? I've been trying to log in since 11:00 GMT+2 and have yet to succeed.

I discovered a simple work around that seems to work for me. I just attempted to make a new Character, just pre-load a character data that you have saved and just quickly choose date, god, and class. When that's done your see the server list for NA/EU showing up as none. Right below that is a update/refresh button that can only be used every three minutes. Simply press the button and wait for the game to crash (which seems to happen all the time to me) wait bout 15 secs restart the game again and your see the server list, seems to work all the time for me.
