The server is full, try again later (1017)

That is true. I wonder if it's possible for the game to detect control input then? So if no control input is detected for a set period of time, then the auto log off will take effect.

It wouldn't matter, they would set up a hotkey that just repeatedly moves them left and right at random intervals in their inn-room.

The big issue is even if you get lucky and make it to queue, you can go back to 1017 while the queue is counting down.

I get this often now. I get in a queue then 1017 popup

[HAcoreRD]

i wouldn't care if i was 100/100 people in queue. Having to keep retrying to even get in a queue is driving me mad with boredom.

Even if you kicked afkers, the servers would be at near capacity. I honestly don't blame them for not logging off, even if it seems like a jerk move, but it's all part of it and it's no ones fault but SE's so.

I was fine with the 1017 error occurring the first few days, but now there should be no reason we are still receiving these errors, recompense in some way should be given to us. It is understandable if the release day, and even the pre realease days have some server bogging, but it has been 5 days since the game has been released (pre-release counts, besides this is where they should start recognizing that their are issues to be dealt with and deal with them before "official" release) at this point no one should receive an error for trying to log in. Put us in que, seems we are fine with that generally. But to give us an error... forcing us back to start screen, this is ridiculous. We are paying customers, treat us as such with some sort of recompense (even a small recompense would be fine i'm not asking for a refund here) and shut the servers down and fix it so this doesn't happen anymore. Though, i thought we had emergency maintenance to deal with issue already, seems nothing was fixed. Please SE do something about this, this is not acceptable at this point.

This company is by far the worst in MMO Games

well I find this really stupid by SE to lock players out of there starter worlds that they made their first characters on. and don't want to increase server capacity so all those who have paid for the game can get their moneys worth and SE can live up to their agreement. that they proposed in order to get people to play. I find it really sad that they have a really good game going and are soon going to lose a lot of players because they won't /don't want to increase server population or open up new worlds and offer free instant transfer of all characters on an account to allow those of us who cannot play because of the world lock they put in. which is more annoying then anything I have experienced in a newly started MMO. to deprive paying customers the opportunity to play the product that they are paying for is down right criminal.

It is stupid, but the only other alternative is shutting the servers down for no reason. Please don't confuse me with an apologist, I just wanted to point out that they screwed up didn't anticipate these numbers and simply have to choose between the two evils. According to Yoshi's recent post, they finished installing the hardware upgrades and are now working on installing the software & configurations.

You must get past the Login Mini Game supplied with FFXIV. That is the true test. people are complaining about the login mini game being too tough. It takes practice. The more you practice the easier logging in will be. Beware of the Mid level boss, the Delivery moogle. After getting past 1017 you have to defeat him. If you do not you will have to start over.
