The server is full, try again later (1017)

[Amcathra]

Just got "Cannot update Group JP character list." Lol did a bunch of us go over and crash their stuff?

Ofc-. made between 3-8 chars on 11 japanese servers before the list became unavailible. Will continue to make more as soon as it comes up. I just skip all cutscene and play to level 4, then make a new char. takes about 30 minutes. But Since I cant get into EU servers, this is the only thing i can do to make the time go

It's been all day. I've basically quit trying to log in. It's either 1017, the servers are full, or you get in queue only to get 10102 you lost your connection to the server host. Let's toss in some 1016's, 90000's and a few other ones.

Too much load on the servers means there are not enough servers. I know that is a bad solution, to just add servers, but I would like something a bit more than the updates we've been getting. I'm not "occasionally" being disconnected or not being able to log in. It's about 30 attempts, and it's been all day.

Worst part, my cousin, who is using my internet, who lives in my living room in a one bedroom apartment, is sitting there playing FFXIV and I can't! He'll play tomorrow when I got to work. And when I got to sleep tonight. It's just annoying. Just fix the problems, let us play the damn game. Hell, just get rid of the instances for a while, or put a huge timer on them. Something. Anything but locking a sizable amount of people out of the servers.

It isn't being addressed - they are just waiting for JP to get into the office so they can try to do something about it.

Very unimpressed. 6.5 hours of attempting to get onto a server with no result.

You think they would have more than a "weekend crew" there this close to launch

This game has been broken during the whole "early access".. Here is the thing that really gets me worked up.. In game I will say something like where do you buy a lvl1 conjurer weapon so I can try conjurer.. And people will start telling me to go to the conjurer guild and I will tell them I cant make it there on foot safely and the quest/instances to finish the main storyline to get on the airship is broken.. So they in return keep telling me to finish the storyline quest to get on the airship.. Its like wtf??!! So I am so frustrated by the game and the morons telling me to do stupid crap. I shout out ITS BROKEN.. Making me look like the bad guy.. So the FF fanboys start going on and on trying to defend the game and calling me out for being a whiner.. Telling me to craft til they fix the game.. SOrry but not everyone finds crafting fun...

So now today the game is broken again.. lol what a shocker. So yesterday I bring up the fact that the game has been out for years. OMG inc FF fanboy defense force: white Knight edition.. Its not the same game!! Its all different!! Everything is new!!! Even the engine is new!!! All the quests and storylines are new!!! All the classes and races are new!! Which is complete BS... The servers and engine shouldnt be so buggy at this point!! I mean they have been working with this engine for how long now? Its no wonder that they didnt want anyone to stream this game and still dont want anyone to stream it..

Yes there is one over on there forums asking SE to make it where we can not make charaters over on there servers...just sad

SE wont comply to that because it would stop us NA/EU people from having some or any sort of connection to the game and would make the situation even worse. JP server users will just have to suck it up and deal with it. Lol It's not fair for us to be completely locked out of the game because SE fucked up on their NE/EU servers. >_>

And I agree with what you are saying...I have a Alt over on one of there servers I made in beta 4 when we had the 3102 bug.

[Qinari]

And the update is that the issues have indeed resurfaced, so rather than bring the servers down and fix it, you just leave it and piss people off more adding "more severe" limitations to log in. How the hell do you see that as fixing anything. You were on the way to recovering from the 1.0 debacle, but really now you need to be in recovery mode to keep people. I'm getting to the point where I've very little faith that things will be different, considering none of the so-called solutions have been real solutions. And the fact that you guys just leave it this way instead of bringing things down and trying to resolve the problem is idiotic at best. Do you really think the "severe" log in limitations is making it any better? Sure, some people can play, but the numbers of those who can't are steadily growing, thus the issue is obviously getting worse. Limitations aren't fixing it, so you need to do something other than stand there like a deer caught in headlights.

Error 1017... pay to play? So happyness...

I had done the same thing during phase 4. But I just sat and talked with a friend and a few other people. THOUGH I do not agree with those people who are trying to crash the JP servers by creating hundreds of characters. That is most likely WHY they are hating on us NA/EU players. -Not cool guys-

Easy words: not going to pay again for FFXIV. I paid for 1.0, 1.2 and won't give a coin for 2.0 if you won't give me 100% login. I pointed this during open beta. And gonna say to all friends I asked to move from FFXI to FFXIV to avoid purchasing even a wallpaper of FXIV if you don't fix this. I got tired to see error 1017 when I picked Excalibur server before July 15th. SE you knew you would have lot of players: BETA ID ENDED. You decided to close beta when those problems were already going on, you said you were needing time to fix before EA and you haven't fixed a crap. I was calm during beta tests because it was just testing! Now it isn't a beta test: it is EARLY ACCESS to push ppl pre-order game. You got money just for the copies you sold and probably you won't care to get more money from us each month. Aug 27th is around the corner and you DON'T allow me or others who paid extra for EA to login. Failure n.2 is much closer than Aug 27th!

Nithael Aner very upset from Excalibur
