The server is full, try again later (1017)

I think they enjoy bad rep. They already had lots of bad rep with the previous release of FFXIV. Now more...

Come on, I want to nyerk play what I paid for. Oh wait, Nyerks belongs to another game... -.-

Serious now. If they can't even handle the current player base, how will they release the game tomorrow for tons and tons of more players?

Think before acting is a good choice in life!

if 1017 says the servers are stuffed and so many people still want to get on to play a game they payed for.... Why not just open new swervers and let people move to them?

How to go from Hero to Zero in a few easy steps - for those companies with great reputations for great titles!
1) Make a game terrible in every way (Final fantasy 12)
2) Make a game with some of the worst gameplay ever designed (Final Fantasy 13)
3) Decide that the game from step 2 is deserving of 2 sequels!
4) Make the first sequel seem a lot better but have the worst ending ever written! (13-2)
5) Make another terrible game to give you time for the final step (FF 14 1.0)
6) Finally make a good game! People love it! Now don't let them play it, just let them think about how fun it is but don't let them play it under any circumstance!

There you have it! You've ruined your reputation and even your most loyal fans probably hate you! We hope you'll buy our next tutorial on how to give trouble to amazing companies that you, a terrible company own! (Index bought that one for Atlus)

I managed to get on within five minutes through persistence somehow... and then magically stay on without a single problem for the evening.

I hope I can repeat this tomorrow.

Are those of you with like the 40-50 characters legacy players? That is so trippy to see. xD

A lot of people I know got into their servers tonight. Seems to be waves they are allowing in. We kind of got lucky. I logged in 3 separate times tonight.
The problem isn't fixed, but I can say it appears to be getting better.

I got my fix in, so I'm much happier! Wish everyone the best of luck getting into the game.

When GW2 and even Rift were first released they added new servers every few hours for several days after launch, WTH can't Square Enix do this!!?! This is beyond absurd!
