They just need to quit wasting our time. They should set how many people get to play and turn it off to the rest of us until they decide to let more in. I don't care what method they use but they can send us an email and tell us when we can expect to be able to log in and play rather than giving us errors.
Cancel the accounts they cant support until such a time as they can. But they have proven they prefer to just take peoples money and give them a lottery ticket instead so whatever.
Worst launch of a sub-based mmo ever. Don't sell a product that you can't support SE. False advertising included (EA time). This is one of the biggest scams in AAA mmo history. Including Phase4 Beta..EA time..and today...i've been able to login and play a grand total of about 12hrs.
Square Enix, I don't want to waste my entire day trying to log in with no idea as to how many people are in front of me or how long it will take. There are other things I could be doing that are a lot more productive and fun than constantly staring at a character select screen for hours. Instead of making everyone guess at your repair schedule, how about letting them know? Or, how about we all go do something else and you call us when it's fixed and we'll decide weather we're ready to come back.

It's 1.0 launch all over again! EVERYONE PANIC!!
The sad part is they will likely just keep it as is until enough people just flat out quit instead of fixing the problem. They are all about temp repairs instead of digging in committing some cash and increasing the NA/EU servers. It all started with a 2 day open beta (Look what they would have found in a week, maybe they new it and for monetary reasons wanted to collect all that order money and just temp fix everything "Later"). You would think after the travesty of 1.0 they would want to roll out smooth to maximize customers and revenue, but no, lets go off half cocked and just keep saying "Oh so sorry please keep trying to play though we need the cash", seriously? I know in society these days companies do not give a crap about customers, they see them as one does not matter another will show up, and thus do not really care what we think much less Insuring we have a good experience, Its more about schedules and collecting cash with minimal expenditures. Maybe a mass of refund requests will wake them up but likely they will just deny all requests while doing nothing to correct what is terrible service. If your car repairman charged you for repairs but only did 30% of the repairs and offered only an apology instead of correcting errors, would you still go there? well right now we are paying (We bought the game and the first month was included in the price) and we are paying to be told "The world is full right now. Wait for a spot to open and try again later." and the sad part is you are not even giving us a plan of action to correct it, all you are telling us is that we must suffer through restriction so that some people can enjoy the game. Shows a complete lack of caring about your customer base. If you guys can not manage the game at this point sell it to a COMPETENT COMPANY who knows how to fix your shortcomings which seem to be many. I hope it costs you, I hope your willingness to disregard your customer base and the Quality of your service digs deep into your future as a company.

I have decided to catalog my journey to enter the wonderous world of Eorzea. I got home from work, had some water along with my meal of simple proteins and veggies. Once my ravenous hunger was sated, I sat down in my executive computer chair, perfect for long sessions of sweet love to Eorzea herself, and logged in to the game at approximately 8:30pm. Pick my character and I enter the world. However I am met with resistance! The world is currently full! "Well that's no problem." I thought. "Things die in that world all the time! Hell its part of what we are doing here, killing evil and cute fluffy creatures! A space will open for me in seconds!"
Now excuse me while I clean up my splattered dog and leg, so I can resume my tapping of "0".
I have to say probably one of the funniest posts up.
Like most, I can not get into game either and played through 2 1/2 of the betas for this game.
Now, I need to go to bed to work at a real job again, tomorrow.
When the game can be played it is 'Amazing', but I don't have time for this kind of snafu right now. They should just offer refunds to those of us who want them.
Oh my fuckin' god.. UGH! I just got in finally, and got disconnected ONE minute later. ONE minute! *RAGE MODE*
