The server is full, try again later (1017)

Getting 1017 since i got off work....totally unacceptable behavior from a company claiming they want to win back disappointed customers.

What's happening here is they're going off predictions of how many people will be playing in the long term (as in more than a couple of months), and bought just enough hardware to support that. That way, they minimize their costs on supporting the massive launch load, compared to 6 months to a year down the line when they're just milking the loyals with monthly fees. Why waste money on machines that they won't need soon?

In my opinion I think we should all send tickets, emails, and other messages through whatever way we can (noticeably) to tell Square-Enix to stop discriminating. I looked on the technical support forum in the Japanese forums and under the sections with multiple threads almost every single thread has a reply from a mod (sometimes two even within only an hour of eachother). All other forums (English, French, and German) are severely neglected. This is obvious discrimination from this international company providing customers with differing qualities of service relating to their location or "affiliation." I cannot stand for this and I will be letting them know my thoughts.

Very interesting!

Just a heads up I will be logging in now every morning at 4am and leaving my character logged in all day so I can actually play after work in the evening.

Thanks for forcing me to do this.

100% agree with this

ftfy.

I just wanted to bump this. HAHA

And this is why we are all locked out... Tell me how this makes any sense

They have allowed this since 11, haven't they? I think they're doing it right now to pad the server population.

Yep, the geniuses behind our tech work are so smart they didn't think to remove one of the most blatantly obvious issues plaguing us right now.

Can't wait for tomorrow when it should be far, far worse.

Still at work for another 30 minutes. I was looking forward to coming home and playing FFXIV, but it sounds to me like everyone is still having the same issues with the worlds being full. Oh well. Luckily, I'm a patient person

I like to consider myself a patient person too, but just because I'm patient doesn't mean I'll appreciate being treated like a moron.

And in keeping things to such strict minimums, they end up pushing away people who could potentially become 'loyals.'
Sure, they might not need machines soon, but part of that might just be because of their own doing, not the consumer base.

The ONLY thing we want to know at this point Yoshi is will the login restraints remain? If so, then how long or is it indefinite? If not, then when will they be corrected? The answer that you people have come up with to restrict login's is just beyond ridiculous at this point. Obviously the servers are not large enough to handle the number of players YOU allowed to be created on them. What do ya think is going to happen at Launch time? We players will only be able to log in rarely. We need concrete answers, no answer from the dev team just makes us players that have stuck it out thru all be beta phases and early access feel unimportant, frustrated and duped. Your timely response would be appreciated. Of course as I attempt to log in once again....1017
