QUEUE is Failing / Error 1017

[TyrValein]

World: Midgardsormr
Character: Kizuna Iatari

Error 1017 like everyone else. However, unlike some people, I'm not going to pretend that SE has done this on purpose or that a super quick fix is even possible. We've had 4 beta phases and nothing this bad happened until the very end of Phase 4. Obviously, there are still issues, but moving out old servers and putting in new servers, upgrading the NA/EU servers, or even just devoting all their time to fixing the NA/EU servers does take time. It's a problem they didn't expect and they're doing their best to fix it. I'm upset too, but it's a bit early to start talking about cancelling your game and the like.

Now I can hear what you're thinking: "You'll keep defending it even months after release and this stuff is still happening!". Well, not only has it not come to that yet, but I'm going to say that it's hard for anyone to defend something that's objectively broken at that point so far beyond the official(!) release. So with that said, let's all take a chill pill and enjoy ourselves as soon as the problems are fixed.

So.. uhhh... That Aug. 27th Launch date? Yeeaaahhhh thats going to be like fanning the flames of a small forest fire onto a massive forest. The **** is going to literally hit the fan and drive off half the playerbase at this rate.

As to the login restrictions. Thats not going to help in the long run. Thats a terrible bandaide to the real issue, you need a ton more servers. Open up a bunch of new NA/EU worlds and allow players on congested worlds to migrate. Or even, I don't know, get the servers out of Canada.

Also, login restriction is like me going to a car dealership. Getting a new model car, but the car has a used car engine thats dying left and right. Get it home and salesman from car dealership knocks. He takes the keys away and says, " We don't feel like letting you drive at the moment. "

The people who keep comparing a small purchase like an MMO to a large scale investment like a car do know that such an argument is a strawman, right? And either way, SE isn't doing this to spite individual players. Plus, the only solutions I'm seeing are ones that would be as equally time consuming as running maintenance (BUY NEW SERVERS!! RELOCATE THE SERVERS!! etc.).

Unfortunately the solution is horizontal scaling, more efficient code, and actually testing the load you are expecting. They should be able to add servers without taking everything down, how much time was spent rebuilding this game only to give users an equally frustrating experience. I abandoned my legacy char to play with my friends, started over in phase 4 beta on the recommended server, and still can't log in. Out of the times I have been able to play I have gotten in once, probably out of 5 times. Square really needs to hire some engineers that know how to handle this level of scale.

Having the same issue with two chars:

These bugs need to be fixed, I don't know why but the beta 3 + open ran so much smoother than this, what did they change?

Variation on a theme: 1017, server full message on Leviathan.

Yesterday I got disconnected while teleporting and could not get back in, first getting the 10102 error, then occasionally the 90000 error, and sometimes unable to connect to NA/EU servers at all. At one point I got in to queue only to have it fail. This morning I can get to my character on the login screen, but then I get the server full message, no queue.

All I'm going to say is many people have spent more time trying to get into the game and play in beta 4 and EA than they actually spend playing the game.

Haven't been able to log on all day. 10102 since 7 am PDT and more recently it's 1017 with no queue. Pretty uncool that an entire business day of early access came and went and I was unable to log on lol.
