The server is full, try again later (1017)

[OrdosAlpha]

What a total disaster. 55 quid spent just to get 1017 server full crap. Monkeys playing with their own excrement could do a better job. The Early Access was a complete joke as well with the EU/NA servers down for most of it. I've paid for a game that I can't play due to the incompetence of Square Enix. Seriously considering not bothering to play this pathetic mess after my free play period is up. Heh, and we won't get recompensed for the days we'll lose because of this total disaster. No way am I paying a sub for this total embarassment.

Yay you are 31th in line...1017 damn, Yay you are 72nd in line....1017 damn. Are you people for real what's the point of having a Que if you are just going to dump it?

I have played MMO's for about 14 years now, been through issues at launch but this is a first time that I wasn't able to play a game not by an issue but by design by the developers. It's launch servers are full, people aren't logging out but just keeping there characters logged in 24 hours so that they never have to worry with ques. But I am just taken back by the first MMO that doesn't allow the people who purchased the game to play by there own design so that some can play while others are left in the cold. I think this game is awesome when I get to play it. Maybe one day, in the future, you will be able to come to your computer, log in, and actually get into the game without having to try to log in for over an hour. I would call this the worst launch in the history of MMO's only because it's not like SE has any plans to fix people not being able to play, they just figure enough people will quit on there own and don't care about their player base being able to play. Kinda sad really.

Hey - you're from europe and want to play with your friends?
Guess what: SE doesn't care <3

Honestly though I don't like the game enough to even be upset... sadly :\

This was their "Official" response from the ticket I submitted lol:

"Thank you for taking the time to report your frustrations and concerns about not being able to get into the game due to the worlds being full. We understand that these frustrations are justified, since you would like to enjoy FINAL FANTASY XIV, and this is preventing you from getting into the game. At the current time world population caps are being met, which prevents additional access to these worlds. We are collecting the feedback from these tickets to escalate to the development team, although any change to the worlds or the population caps would be found on the Lodestone (http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/), and we recommend checking there for any announcements.

Lol wow. That was very helpful.

At this point, I don't see why they just don't take the game down a day and fix what ever issues need resolving. I'd rather not play 1 day than play 30mins here and there over a week.

This is by far the wors beta and EA I've ever played...

wife and I just crashed with the 9k error and now we can not log back on do to server being full.......this server being full should not even happen to people who already have toons on that server

[paradighm]

I have been patient, 3 days of trying to log in, resorting to creating a character on the EU servers (I am a NA player) And I must finally...regrettably. lose faith in SquareEnix. I am genuinely upset. Some of my best memories in gaming are from Squaresoft, Enix, and SquareEnix. But this is too much for me. I paid for this game in pre-order on blind faith. and faith is broken.

Now - I DO understand a launch will have problems, but to the point of unplayability? that is ridiculous. I am not going to whine and "go back to WoW" but unfortunately when subscription fee's are implemented, my money will go elsewhere.
