The server is full, try again later (1017)

Doing everything I can to break teh jp servers. making tons of cchars

The reason people are mad, rather than merely irritated, is that 1017 is absolutely, positively, worse than a queue. I have been in queues of 2000 players, and minded less. You know why?

With a queue I can guess at how long it will be. With the 1017 error, I have absolutely no way to make an informed decision. You should never, ever, not in a million years, just abort. Get the user in a queue. Let them know how long it is. Let them decide whether they want to wait. Otherwise, you are pushing them to spam login and be frustrated that you told them to wait for an opening but gave them no way to do so.

Apparently what most of you dont realize is that there WAS a queuing process ... at least there was before the maintenance that went from 08 00 GMT to 11 00 GMT (which is when I chose to go to bed)

I've been having this problem since 11 AM today. Diabolos.

Funny thing is I could create a new character on Siren.

Anyone able to get on Diabolos during that time?

[komaro]

well, same here. Their US/EU server must be on Windows Server 2012...

The part that is killing this for me is just this sort of snowball effect that starts when I get my hopes up.

I was terribly excited for the initial 14 beta and release of 1.0. And all of these instability issues were there with random disconnects and crashes.

Now, I was terribly excited to play during Post Beta Early Access. And now at first I couldn't log in. Then I couldn't actually progress in any story content because the instance servers were having trouble. Then I'd get disconnected and be unable to log back in. Its fine when there is a queue, but telling me to try again later just makes me spam the log in, congesting the character server, until I get a queue. I put time aside from my packed schedule and work to make sure I could experience this 'early access.' I feel I had put my hopes too high and this game wasted far too much of my time.

OH we realize it. That's part of the reason we're so angry.... they had a queuing system, but they capped the QUEUE, thus adding insult to injury. So, you have to spam login attempts to try and get into the login queue, where you sit and wait. Yeah, who's brilliant idea was that?

[Lithera]

Yes and you go into that queue as well eventually but you need to hammer through the 1017 error repeatedly before that happens.

[Shadomen]

Same issue on Leviathan. Why is there no queue?
