Lobby Server = Broken

[Vedrix_Sorio]

Because expediting the process would cost money, and SE doesn't want to pay that kind of money, just to help players in EU/NA. If this was in Japan, then it would have been fixed last week.

Yeah that's 100% true. I guess they got a new Dell to replace an old one for us from 5pm-3am on Wednesday.

It does feel as if the game had been launched and the people who should work on getting the players to play (and be actual PLAYERS) are enjoying their holiday just as we are(not). I'm pretty certain a group of ITs, sysadmins and devs are working on fixing this, but I'm pretty certain they're not at 100% staff, even 50% I doubt.

-Some guy at squareenix during dev: Hey, why don't we buy more servers, and stronger ones at that.
-IT Lead: Naaah, don't worry people aren't gonna play our game, just run it on these old servers shit is gonna be fine! Cmon now it's bowling time

I too just got a 1017 before the character selection was loaded.

Let me clarify that for anyone who doesn't grasp it: I got a 'World is full' error before it even called up the world lists, nevermind me chosing a world.

Don't pretend this is working correctly. At the very least it is the wrong error message, though I doubt both Datacenters are down simultaneously when it's not maintenance.

Server is up, go login before worlds get full.

Yeah, woke up early (not working today), was planning to play all day and I'm getting the lobby is full error

[Psychosiz]

Been trying to get on for a long while and this also came up for me. Now I am in the same boat, can't get past the lobby issue.

I am getting the same thing, but also I have been getting different error codes like 2006, 5002 about the lobby not being loaded. Or it cant load the servers list even tho on the loadstone it says the servers are up. I also been getting the error that trying to get to the login screen is laggy and when I do sign in I can't click on the start button then get a error code about the lobby again.

What is going on that it even lags trying to bring up the loadstone page on the main sign on screen for ps3?

Also a side note here, is anyone else also getting major lag on the forums? I mean it takes forever to load a page or go to the topic you want to go into

From time to time I get thru the launcher... To end up with "Unable to update the group NA/EU character list."

Be aware the the servers will be down for maintenance...

First I got the usual "world is full, call Miss Cleo for a free tarot card reading and figure out whether the goat of saturn declares a world available and mix eye of newt in a cauldron with bat's blood in an authentic haitian voodoo ritual to get a chance to roll a die and see if you queue or have to do it all over". After that I saw "couldn't update the na / eu world list. After that the lobby error 2002. After that the launcher kept crashing with -214699712. What's next? Windows won't boot? Please god tell me my COFFEE MACHINE ISN'T ABOUT TO BREAK!!!????
