The server is full, try again later (1017)

[Smurfey]

now I don't get to.

1- afk time limit. just do it.
2- more world servers. duh.
3- allow free world transfer service so friends can actually play together.


Pretty shit-tastic of SE to offer a game, we buy it, but then can't play it. Yeah, first 30 days are free. Fine. But I still paid for the game itself.

Any lawyers in the FFXIV realm? What does the terms of service say about this? How about a class action lawsuit?

fk'n BS, seriously F-U SE, sell me a 50$ product, give me a crappy early access then on launch day I cant even get in a que to get online.

seriously F-U SE. stupid company for releasing a game that isnt ready yet.

I have played way many MMOs on launch days. RIFTS and Warhammer had almost flawless launches. This one though, is one of the worse ones I've experienced. Even when WoW launched way back in the day, there where times when it was very unplayable. At least you could que up for the servers. I much rather see a message that says "You are currently #4560 in line" then the "This world is full, try again later" message that we get. Auto booting AFKers isn't a bad idea either. I know during the short time I got to play this morning. (Around 7am PST) During the hour when I was running around leveling my mining and gold smithing, I did see a couple of players that where literally standing in the same spot, unmoving the whole time. I should have just left myself logged in when I had to take my wife to work. Nope I made the mistake to log out, and when I got home I've had to deal with that "World is full" message since then. That's been 4 hours so far! I can already see that it's going to be this way at least for the next couple weeks. Oh well, at least I got some mini painting done while I waited.

how nice... they give me the early access key when the early access is over, and them that... canceling my subs... let's see if things go better for the next 30 days... im losind the will to play...

Actually, now that I think about it, I should be used to this. During FFXI, you would get errors and random crap that would prevent you from playing for a day or 2 during a new Expansion launch. So they might get their crap together in the next day or so, which is very bad, but at least they'll get it together. I still say they need to invest in better servers, and get Managers who aren't dropping the ball every 5 minutes.

wife and I just crashed with the 9k error and now we can not log back on do to server being full.......this server being full should not even happen to people who already have toons on that server

[ViperGT]

What are the guys at SE thinking. People that already have characters in a world should be able to get into it. If the world is'nt quite full then just let the remainder of space be filled and quit letting more than what that world can hold be over ran with more than what it can hold. This is'nt rocket science SE. Or maybe that's just what we have here, people with so much education that it pushed the common sense right out of them. Until this gets fixed I not gonna pay for it. I'm tired of trying to get on and keep getting world full and error 1017.

[leonart]

why is it i have no problems logging onto jp servers? does se know their are people on the servers refusing to log off because they are afraid they wont get back on?
