Not that I know of. You might be able to game it when server transfers come up by transferring though

I don't know this for sure, but based on previous world transfers and FFXI, you can only change name if your name is the same as someone who already exists on the world you're trying to change to so it forces you to change your name (the solution to this was therefore to create the character on that world yourself first, then transfer forcing your own name change)

So today I've been trying to log in now for the last 7 hours and all I've met is error 1017.
I'm over it. You've lost a subscriber.
Yes I know no one cares on these forums...

I care, I really do but I don't believe you have been trying for 7 hours straight to get into the game. Especially not at this time of day.

The queue is broke, so you need to spam the loging screen to try to get in and you will eventually get lucky. This needs to be done non stop. If you think youll try to log in then wait 5 minutes and try again, then wait 15 minutes and try again this wont work.

Spam the login for 15 minutes straight and see how you fair, I bet you get in. 15 minutes of spamming the login might feel like 7 hours tho.

I'm kinda depressed that my suggestion thread here hasn't got more feedback or support from the community.

I know we'd all much rather just be able to get into the game without the need for such a thing, but if we can't, wouldn't you all want to actually know how likely it is to get on your preferred server rather than just constantly wage war on the launcher until you eventually (if ever) actually get on?

If there is something that the idea needs to improve it, or you feel that it could be done a completely different way, please post your thoughts on that thread and lets see if we can get some sort of consensus about what people actually want (if we can't simply do away with the need for something altogether).

Dear SE,

I tried to play this game during beta but was locked out after only 3 hours due to a 90K error followed by a 3102 error. It was beta so I didn't complain much. I had preordered the game before beta and after receiving confirmation from you and other SE staff that the issues had been resolved and I would be able to play in EA, I didn't cancel my preorder. However, EA came and I found that the 90K errors were still making characters unplayable, instances were broken so we could not progress the story line and the 3102 error had been replaced by the 10102 error that locked accounts out of the game. After numerous maintenance sessions, these issues were still not resolved so the solution to implement login limitations and character creation restrictions were implemented.

Due to these issues, a large number of people have not been able to login and play, create characters on servers with their friends or otherwise enjoy the game they paid for going on 6 days now. We have no date, other than early next week, for the installation of the upgrades that are supposed to fix these issues so you are essentially asking players to wait another 5 to 7 days for the resolution. Two weeks to wait for a playable game by all is far too long without addressing the impact this is having amongst your player base.

Many players are frustrated over the whack a mole login system that requires players to sit and spam the login button for hours at a time in the hopes of randomly hitting the queue or getting in. Many players are also frustrated because as they sit and play whack a mole for hours at a time, they are also seeing the 30 day subscription that came with the purchase of the game ticking away and you are asking them to give up another week of that time. Many players are frustrated because they were not able to roll characters on servers with their friends and once this is resolved are facing the choice of paying for a character transfer to re-unite with their friends or rolling new toons and having to start over again.

In short, if you are going to ask players to wait longer after already having waited too long, you need to give them a reason to want to wait. I like many others paid to play the game. We did not pay to wait. If you want us to wait and really want to reduce the frustrations of many players, tell us how you will address the impact that these issues have had on your player base. SE already made it clear they will not fix the queue system, which is something many players have been asking for. But will you at least try to address the other ways these issues are impacting many players? Will you extend the 30 day subscription offered with the purchase of the game or give free game time equivalent to what has been lost? Will you offer free character transfers once the upgrades are installed so people can re-unite with their friends?

I have so much rage in my heart right now that I just want to choke and bite a Japanese individual. All I want to do is play the game that I wasted my hard earned money on. I didn't want to have to do this, but drastic times call for drastic measures.

IF I AM NOT ABLE TO ENTER THIS GAME IN THE NEXT HOUR, I AM GOING TO OFFICIALLY DEDUCT 9001 "HONOR" FROM EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THIS DEVELOPMENT TEAM.

It will not end there, I will also declare that SHAME HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR HOUSEHOLD. This is not an idle threat. You have one hour.
