The server is full, try again later (1017)

Same problems 1017 I took days off work to play this game, Cunt

No one should ever take time off of work just to play a game. That is just plan out stupid....... But everyone is having the same issue. Going to the JP servers and creating a bunch of characters over there is going to help it anything. If the JP servers start messing up because of that then its just going to take people away from trying to fix the NA/EU servers. Dont get me wrong I am upset as well from all of this. I played FFXI for 5 years and I played FFXIV v.1 for almost a year. I also could not play but for maybe 5hrs of open beta and have been locked out of the game since I got home around 5:30pm est from work. You dont see me going off on SE over it. People need to calm down and realize they have under estimated how many people are actually wanting and trying to play this game on NA/EU servers. They will have it fixed and it may just take some time.

Clearly someone doesn't understand the concept of 'use or lose'.

You should take time off for whatever suits you. Doesn't matter if its to sleep all damn day.

Realize they have under estimated how many people are actually wanting and trying to play this game on NA/EU servers. They will have it fixed and it may just take some time.

You are aware that they are fully capable of seeing how many preorders they received, right? What they should have done is not allowed purchases after the early access started to actually receive early access themselves. Really doesn't make any sense because assuming they aren't as inept as many people think at this point, why would a company want to be surprised by extra players during early access that they had no clue were going to exist. They would only theoretically have an hour or so that it took to DL the game for those extra people to figure out that servers were going to overflow, every time another copy was bought. It's just poor planning on their part, and while other games had their problems, none had such a large portion of their playerbase effectively told to go do something else til it gets fixed.

Also, could be worth noting, I've been doing other things all weekend. Every hour or two I'd come check to see if I could get in, but it's always the same world is full bullshit assuming the servers even show up at all. This is a horrific fail bey SE.
