I don't doubt your claims like I said if I tried for the entirety of the 8hrs I probably would have gotten in but i have other things i can do while waiting for issues to be fixed so i really dont mind them so much (played the ducktales remake and had a lot of fun instead of getting upset) also playing on ps3 most of the time restarting the client every time is a bit of a hassle but again my choice. I also until yesterday never experienced this issue but I don't play during NA prime so that might be the reason for that.

Yes, and I can understand that. My OP was not directed to people like yourself. People who venture outside of the game when they have the errors are not those I talk about; it is those who apparently have tried the entirely of their proclaimed hours and yet still haven't made it in. I understand completely what you went through (I was the same last night with the 90k boot out of instance =/) and put the game aside for some well-needed sleep.

I tried for 2 hours last night before giving up and an hour this morning with no luck.

I've been lucky for the most part having usually 30 mins of errors, maybe 1 hour on a bad day. But last night it was 2 hours of constant 0 pushing while watching some TV.

Don't be ignorant and think "It's working for me so it works for everyone".

I'm not hungry... Doesn't mean there aren't people starving in the world.

I can agree that some people are not persistent enough with trying to get into the game, but it's still ridiculously frustrating to sit in front of your computer for over an hour at a time just to log in. Though, I'm trying not to focus my efforts into complaining because this isn't a permanent thing. However, I had to work over labor day weekend, and when I came home I felt like playin' some FF. It took me an hour and 20 minutes to get into the game, but you better believe I got in. > I didn't do any NUM-0. I don't know what that is. I manually brought up the launcher, logged in, etc. etc. until I got in.

However, in the end, I have always managed to get in.

Well you got in and that colours your opinion greatly. It's 1pm in the afternoon here in the UK, considered an off peak time, in the UK and the US and the log in restrictions are in place. Do you see having to spam log in for, as you said up to an hour acceptable. The whole launch event had been a fiasco.

I don't blame them for the servers being busy but what I do blame them for is how it has been handled. I agree with them that it would be a bad idea to have 10s of servers at launch only for them to be abandoned months down the line but there should have been plenty of back up servers in a ready state not ordering some and waiting for 'the UPS man' to deliver them. And the queue system, well it's not a queue system. It might sound good on paper not letting queues last for hours but when the alternative is to have people 'spam clicking' for the login lottery is terrible. I would rather be in a queue of 5000 and wait 2 hours than have to 'spam click' for 30-60 minutes

I would have agreed with you up until last night when I was kicked from the game mid mission. I tried for three hours solid to no avail to get back in but couldn't. I'm playing with a microsoft pad so I also have the advantage of spamming just one button but it didn't help last night! Anyway.. the point is we shouldn't have to wait to play. They allowed more characters to be created on the servers than the servers could handle and that's just stupid! End of story!

Yes, last night was also the first time I ever had to endure a one hour spam, once I got the NA/EU servers to load. Including the time rebooting the client, mayhap it was an hour thirty. Wasn't pleasant, but I got in. I believe last night's issues were more prevalent than the other day's. In regards to your last post...I offer no opinion in this topic, but I have expressed my view points on the process in other topics.

Last night was an exceptional case for me as well, as stated above.

However, I'm not 'not hungry'. We are all hungry. I myself get the same errors as everyone. I just don't believe those who are persistent enough to go to five or ten hours of attempts and have nothing to gain for it. As you said, you typically get in after 30 mins of errors. So do I. At the same time as we do that, there are numerous posts claiming the 5-10 hour spans of being unable to login, and the ensuing name-calling and ridicules.

I can perfectly understand your feelings as I have experienced as such. D:

And NUM-0 refers to the number pad 0 which acts as the confirm button. By spamming it, you do not need to move your mouse or anything to continually go from start menu -> character selection -> ok -> start menu -> character selection -> ok -> start menu etc.

Yes, I got in, but not without my share of troubles. Troubles which have been plaguing everyone. I'm not alone. I've had every issue everyone on this forum has had, from 3102 during beta to the login issues now. For the rest of your post:

This post seeks to merely point out the hypocrisy in a certain segment of the community's behaviour and attitude towards a similar problem for everyone

This post does not seek to imply a bias on/provide an opinion on:
- the manner at which SE has handled the process
- the length of period for which this has occurred and consequences
- the decisions and communication SE have had with the community
- the function of systems in place for the game
- anything which has not been explicitly stated in the post

See other topics for discussions on how SE could have done better. There are plenty on the front page and the following 100 pages.

No, not an exaggeration. I've even 1017'd out of queues

lol, you're wrong. I have witnesses. Of course these login problems are happening!! It's not a massive group hallucination! What crazy pills are you taking?

You guys need to read my OP properly.

Like many others - no, like everyone - I have encountered difficulties logging into the game. I have had 1017, 3102, 90000, 2002, 5006 errors time and time again in the past week. I have had lobby errors, start button grayed out, 1017 before character selection, "Unable to update NA/EU list", and 1017 after getting into a queue. I get 90k errors in game, get booted to character selection screen, and have to sit the whole process again.

It's the first sentence I typed.

[Namko]

You need to read my post properly, what's the name of those pills!? lol
