SE needs to get their act together real quick. I'm limited to playing when I get home from a hard days work and I constantly get 1017? I was a faithful player of FFXI for several years and waited patiently for the PS3 version of FFXIV to launch and now all I'm getting is "wait" "wait" "wait" "wait"......blah blah blah after they took $59.99 from me. How about you make this FTP until you get your shit fixed and WE can wait wait wait to pay you?

I played this game more before it came out than I have since. I feel bad about telling my friends to get it I mean it's great when you can play but If someone managed to get a copy they couldn't even create a char much less play in a server with friends.

I was home from work today and I tried to log into a couple different servers, no dice. Always 1017. Always.

At first I couldn't believe the people defending SE saying "every MMO has this happen" but then I realized, they are the players who are AFK and are part of the problem.

So someone mentioned sitting until Bahumat started blowing crap up... 2x now that has worked to get me into the server. Prob just dumb luck but I find that interesting.

you mean the ARR video that starts if you sit idle? didnt work for me this is actually my first time dealing with it because I've been logging on in the early am and playing all day (works gonna be mad my production numbers will be low :P)

After about 3 hours of waiting to find a NA server to try out, I decided to make a character on one of the JP servers. Dealing with over 700 ping... its playable, but barely. I decided to check the NA servers again right after putting my kids to bed and I was able to create a character on Adamantoise, get to 57 in the queue before I was booted out and now continue to get the 1017 error.

I remember having this issue with GW2 and not being able to create a character on the server my friends were on. I remember having a solid 2 hours of D3 that I was unable to login for.

This doesn't make it any less frustrating though.

You can always make a new char on each available server NA, EU, JP and have your friends do the same then you can play on SOME server together.

This is terrible I played Phase 3/4/Open Beta with no issues. Start early access and get 1017 server full. This feels a little backwards to me... I agree with the queue, since at least then I could line up and watch a movie while I wait to get in. I'm fine dealing with launch issues, but it is 4 mouse clicks every time I get 1017, which, sounds small, but when it takes 20 tries+ to log in that is a lot of clicks before even accomplishing anything. Even when I manage to join the queue that should house all the players wishing to join I get 1017... what was the point of this queue system? Please have another batch of emergency maintenance or get another server live/capacity increases asap, or I suppose a large chunk of your soon to be paying player base could just quit and return the game.

Either way the money is yours to lose SE! Thank you for the gift of early access to a game that we have next no access to.

I know you are working on this, but I gotta vent somewhere.

I have been locked out the game for FOUR HOURS! I am the Free Company leader of a 50+ online at a time Free Company, and they need me there. So many invites not going out and upgrades not being managed. I've waited 3 years for this game, work faster NA side of SQEX!

Seeing this going FTP with in first month, seeing 1017 continue and seeing ff14 arr failing all over again simply because of 1017 bs. i want a refund. 29.99 + 9.8% Tax

i really enjoyed the whole 4 hours i got to play this but its unplayable. i seriously want my money back square, or a game that works very soon. FYI the weekend is really close by... gonna easily be 4-6 times more people trying to play.. forums are gonna overload with 1017 bs.
