45 minutes of trying over and over. 1017

[NateJD]

yup gonna wait it out logged in :P

[Yuufarlc]

only 45 minutes?

[PSxpert2011]

for once, ly last login took 1/1 tries. No wait time... things are looking up! Hang in there so you can say to future newbies, "I was there!"

It took me about 20 minutes to get in...and no time at all when I played for a bit this morning before work (although it was 5am EST)
This is pretty typical for MMO launches, and this is a better alternative to them launching with far too many servers, and than merging later because half those servers are "dead". It's sort term pain for a better long term experience.

I waited 4 hours to get in, but looks like their expanding servers and implementing AFK kick.

I really don't see a point in AFK kick AFTER they fix the issue. But that's just me. I have found that the login system rewards persistence above all. If you take any breaks from the AAAAAAAA grind (or XXXXXXXXX, or 000000000, depending on controller :P) then you likely hurt your chances of getting in. Through persistence I don't think it has even taken longer than 45 minutes for me and usually it is much faster than that. I just put on a netflix movie or tv show and sit there spamming the login until I get in... never taken me longer than the span of one episode :P

This 4 hour or 6 hour stuff that people post, I am willing to bet that either A: You are not persistent enough (i.e. you try constant for 10 -20 minutes, stop for 10 minutes or so, come back, try, and give up) or B: You are WAAAAAY over exaggerating it to make your case seem more dire. Does it suck? Sure. But, stick with it... your persistence is well rewarded by getting in much sooner than you would have by taking that 5 minute break to use the bathroom/get a drink/come complain here on the forums. Do that AFTER you get in, until then, spam the A button!

Just get a refund, apparently you don't pay attention to updates and what there doing to fix things, mmo starts are rocky... fyi takes me 2 min to get in game during high volume times

just because some past mmo's start off rocky is not a credible excuse for every new mmo that has a rocky launch, just FYI there have also been mmo's that have had near perfect launches why not compare to those? oh yeah because it doesn't support your view point. Fact is there is no excuse, simply poor planning that even yoshi himself admitted to.

I shouldn't have to be persistent to stand in a line. I should just have to stand there and wait my turn. Don't get me wrong I love the game but I've played a whole two hours cause spamming the A button to stand in a line isn't rewarding enough for me. I shouldn't have to be "rewarded" for spamming a button over and over. That's like saying you get a reward to stand in line at the supermarket.

WRONG, It took me 6 days of constant trying after work from 5pm to 11pm to just to even create a character, granted i may not have sat at the computer for 6 hours straight but sometimes up to 2 hours straight refreshing the world every 3 minutes i did do. I do have a life. Now that i have created a character i get the constant 1017 errors but the longest it has taken me so far to log in when i needed to was around 30 minutes.

Regardless there is no excuse for such poor planning, even yoshi admitted that fact!

I am not at all saying that it is right, or that it shouldn't be fixed. Please do not take what I said to mean that. I was merely stating that persistence pays off better than being passive about it. If you REALLY want to play bad enough, that is the best way to do it with the least amount of overall time spent and or time wasted. Mostly, I was trying to help you all get in the game "easier".

Reminds me of those stupid rare-spawns from fishing in WoW (sorry for the WoW reference, don't kill me too much)... the longer you sit there, consistently fishing, the higher your odds are of getting the rare spawn. Does it suck? Sure. Is it boring as hell? You bet! But if you REALLY want something bad enough, that is your best bet for getting it for the least amount of time invested.
