The World is Currently Full. 1017

Don't worry, I made a gameplay video for the 1017 error.

FFMXVII: A Realm Rebroken

Enjoy!

How about you READ the dev posts instead of making ANOTHER 1017 thread. Everyone wanting to see more from Square Enix apparantly aren't reading the news they put out.

What news? The ones about how they're "working on it" and are "going to fix it"? I think we've seen those ones.

All the information one would need.

New server upgrades this next few days. It's been said before.

And how does adding new servers fix current ones?
Who here is going to volunteer to restart on a new character?

Why is there no auto-disconnect for players who have been afk 20-30 minutes? There is absolutely no reason to allow players to AFK indefinitely now that retainers have taken the place of bazaars. This would keep a fresh cycle of players connecting to the server and cut down on the 1017s significantly.

Also, why do we see 1017 instead of getting put into a queue? Is there queue system really that poorly designed that it can't handle more than a few hundred people?

This launch has been a freaking joke. The few times I have managed to get in, I am forced to leave the game running all day while I am gone, wasting electricity, just so I will be able to play during primetime--which just so happens to be the only time that I have free to play.

The answers you seek are in the dev letters. Its to easy to read up on these things.

Hoveurt-

This from your vaunted "dev post":

"Resolving AFK Character Issues

From several users on some of our more congested Worlds, we have received requests for a feature which automatically logs out characters who are AFK for an extended period of time. We are actively looking into the implementation of such a feature, but have decided to first concentrate our efforts on increasing the number of Worlds and optimizing the Duty Finder servers."

You're right, that answers my every question. Or not.

So the programmers are working on the servers. No wonder its taking so long, they are sitting there with Servers for Dummies trying to figure out what to do.
For the simple minded ill make it clearer. That is 2 different departments. It would be like going to the grocery store and being told they cant check you out in til the butcher cuts some meat.
