Aether Data Center Down

[Gimoni]

So I couldn't get on much today, I think I got lucky to be able to play for a bit hours ago.

Now since I can't go on Aether I thought ''o hey, I'll just go make a character on Primal, got friends on Diabolos!''...

... only to realize that not a single World on Primal accepts new characters.

Welp, guess that's that. Couple days before subscription ends, gonna wait a couple months and see if they get their things together and maybe come back.

What are you talking about? I made an Au Ra alt on Lamia just this morning.

I'm talking about tonight, not this morning. Tried to make an alt for fun on Diabolos, then saw it didn't accept character creation, went down the list of worlds on Primal and... well none did. Lucky you?

Anyone else sick of Beta testing the servers everytime for early access comes around?

[Xeonerable]

I think its safe to say I won't be able to play this week when I get home from work. If only Fallout 4 would come out much sooner.

I am on the Coeurl World and it keeps kicking me to the login screen and gives me error code 2002.

I will say I got in game but the LAGFEST is the next beast.

Is there anything at all actually being done about this, or is SE just hoping the issue quietly fixes itself?

Eventually enough people get pissed off that they stop trying to play, fewer people try to login because they uninstall, then the problem is fixed!

They are not going to upgrade the servers just for the early access/launch week, gigantic waste of resources. It will calm down again after launch, same thing happened to ARR launch I believe and other mmo's also had lots of server issues for at least the first week. I learned to either wait for the horde trying to log on to die down again or just keep trying to log back in anyways(sometimes I get lucky lol). It's not great of course but again, waste of resources to upgrade server stuff for only a needed short time frame. Some people really need to chill out, it's just a game. You will be able to log in soon enough, once launch passes these issues will be pretty much non existent.

P.S. It probably will be 10x worse tomorrow, actual launch day so may wanna prepare for that, luckily I have many other games I can play if(when) I can't get on lol.
