The server is full, try again later (1017)

[Mike_Oxlong]

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 moderator (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.

This.

On an unrelated note, Fuçk You Square Enix.

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.

Ironically, that's pretty much the only time I'm guaranteed to log in without a queue or the 1017 message. But I play and log off like a normal person would and should.

bump still getting this. tried to log in just now on Malboro 1017'd I could see people starting to cancel their orders if this continues.

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

So basically your saying its ok if AFK people not playing take the spots for people that actually want to play ... right that makes sense. FF11 was no where close to having full servers ever which is why that was ok they were never in danger of being overwhelmed.

im so sick of this shit, hell the only reason i had to log out was a ui glitch after zoneing and my spot wasent held on the server for 20 damn seconds. i have been 1017ed for the past 4 hours that includes getting into q's of 5 people only to get 1017ed again multiple damn times.

i finely got to play a little yesterday and it was awesome i like the game a lot but this logging prob makes me feel like what was the point of preordering the game

[Azmaria]

This is indeed highly annoying, they need an afk timer to kick people, about an hour and to just do something so people can play this damn game, I'm tired of having to just bang my head at the door and not even get a que.

I can say this much, I'm a new player, a friend convinced me to give this a go so I bit. I work during the day, want to play when I get home, only to be told....endlessly that the f-ing world is full. I'll give this a couple more days, after that, I'll write this off as a $30 loss. I know in a month it will be fine, but I bought it to play it now, not later.

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.

If you look at the JP servers, they've got the same amount as TWO continents... let me repeat that, TWO CONTINENTS, and no doubt a much smaller population to fill said servers.

It's also extremely clear that they're quick to help and deal with problems on the Japanese side of things but we're essentially in the dark with virtually zero assistance or communication.

This is why Korean/Japanese games are suffering outside of their country of origins. People are sick of the double-standards.

Apparently if you want to play tomorrow make sure you wake up right before the maintenance then go AFK all day while your at work so you can annoy 1000's of other people that actually want to play and when you get home you'll be good to go... I bet at least a 1/4 of the players on right now selfishly AFK. IMMRITE?
