The server is full, try again later (1017)

It was advertised for Early Access when i pre-ordered and this was not the case. Early access is nothing more than a soft launch and I expect a few hiccups but not being able to even play over a course of multiple hours of downtime. I am sure the Datacenter Enix is using is not fullfilling their contract of how much downtime they are allowed to have over a period of time. I to am frustrated that I even paid for the pre-order which is also a loan that gamers who paid for the game ahead of time to generate revenue to Enix and nothing is even being delivered as promised. Yoshida asked us to come back and for new players to begin a FF adventure to love and recommend it to friends but after this fiasco I have pulled my recommendation for my friends to not bother with FFXIV until these server issues are cleared up and it looks like it wont be by official launch.

This always happens at a big MMO launch... Nothing to whine about!
People demanding refunds, and the likes, that's just pathetic...

Ive been able to log in and out for times this evening, sure I had to try and get in a few times but it wasnt too bad. I dont think this is a good solution though and proper queues would be great.

This isnt just a big MMO launch mate, this is FFXIv's SECOND attempt at a successful chance, which BTW is turning out to be like 1.0 launch... Very disappointing.....

These forums are going to light up like Christmas the closer we get to peak times and eventually launch.

I doesn't matter if you get into the queue or not. SE has imposed a manual threshold on the servers. If that threshold is reached while you're waiting in queue you'll get booted out of it with 1017. Users will see the queue as slots open up in that manual chokehold; but that doesn't guarantee they'll get on.

Finally got into a queue, but I'm not holding my breath, lol.

Sigh. Gilgamesh is same.

I don't even want to play the game anymore...
