Aether Datacenter is refusing connections

Yes, it is extremely frustrating. You and I paid money, the deal was we gave them our money early and they let us play early. No one told me that by giving them my money early I was actually enrolling in their beta tester program.

It's crap like this that makes me not buy a company's next game (ffxv), not saying I won't play it lol... I just won't buy it.

I am with you on all of this. I am not going to buy KH3 the FF7 remake or any other SE products as they are showing us that they alot like Konami and Capcom only want our money and they dont care about the product nor the people that helped create them. I was one of the few of my friends that still defended SE cause of great games like all the FF's 10 and before and Dragon Warrior and the Chrono games. But now I feel that I have been honestly betrayed by the company who is doing nothing to alleviate nor even speak about the quite obvious issues everyone is having.

6 pages on this thread alone. not a peep from SE. They only care m-F 9to5. "Sorry for the inconvenience"

Yeesh. I feel really bad for all the people who haven't been able to get in at all. Lucky enough to at least access the game for pretty extended periods of time...but not always. I've had consistent issues for several-hour periods multiple times during this early access launch myself. 2-3 hour periods of constant and consistent 2002 errors. I'm surprised there hasn't been much acknowledgement of the issue by Squeenix. Just seems like a pretty big blunder right now.

I guess I'll just go play something else. Bleugh.

For myself I have been trying since 630 PM CST and at time of this posting its 1241 AM CST. Nothing but 2002 and 5006 errors all evening. This is Error 93 all over again as I said earlier.

Did North America, both over world server set groups, get server upgrades, like I heard the Europe servers got? Not certain on all of that, could use clarification there. Also heard AFK spam bots are clogging everything in the Aether worlds, thanks to a no afk boot policy.

And does Aether just have far more players, than any other overworld, or we just got that many more afk spammers clogging it all up? Someone is getting in, and setting up camp, like a bunch of Kobolds outside Ul'dah or such, it feels like.

I love how rumors like this spawn like opportunistic infection. I'm sure people are working to fix the trouble.

I think it would also help if they designated the servers for people interested in just PVE or RP, like WoW did. Right now anyone who is interested in rping are being pointed to Balmung or Gilgamesh only, so those two are the servers being advertised the most around the internet. Offering free server transfers off those servers and putting their /own/ server designations on the servers might actually be a step toward solving he problem without buying a bunch of expensive new servers.

Problem with transfers (as far as I was told, still new at the game here) is any investment in housing and company housing is pretty much wasted. Unless those free transfers take care of all that gil and housing stuff. I was just told that transferring usually screws the player who made those investments more.

I never got to play the 2013 EA and this one is screwing up too.
