The server is full, try again later (1017)

[Penx]

This situation of server login limitations has became a real treat for the launch.

Personally, I don't have anymore patience for this whole problem. A whole hour of gameplay in 3 days, kinda bad. After a whole day at work I would like to come home and be able to log even if it's just for a while, not even happening. People that are on the servers atm won't log out that's for sure, it's just so easy to run into a wall for the whole day just to make sure when you come back you can play the game. This without thinking some others might like to have a shot to maybe be able to log in. Anyways this isn't their problem. It's the company problem that we invested so much money over the years and especially getting pretty good at disappointing their fans in the last couple years. This kinda was their chance at redemption and they needed it since bankruptcy is not far around the corner for them.

Worst of all is Yoshi trying to send us his apologizes... This is just pathetic, we don't want to hear about what you were able to fix or how sincerely your so sorry for us. We need concrete actions. What we want to know is your solutions for the weeks to come (more slots per server like our counterparts in japan?, reinvestment in the NA/EU data center?, more servers with a server transfer offered so they can spread the load easily?).
This is only early access, just wait till all the one that brought the game flood in tomorrow. I sincerely hope for a terrible server crash, so bad it could corrupt the data center and maybe even worse.

The only apology I accept are extra gametime days for each day these problems persist.

If there was at least a queue...even if the damn thing said a 2 hour wait...I would be happy. Sigh. At least I wouldnt have to sit here spamming the log in screen with no results. Ugghh

[ThunderCat]

At this rate I dont think I'll EVER be able to play my Hyperion character again. If I cant get on now then I KNOW I WONT BE ABLE TO LOGIN TOMORROW! Is this acceptable SE? I know you cant just shove people off the server to make room but if you expect it to get better by tomorrow you are dreaming. It is only gonna be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much worse. I am forever locked out of my main server, main character, main FC, and my 1.0 investment. Awesome job! You get a gold star!


It's only hours away Square, I hope you're preparing for the storm cause it's gonna be a bad one...

Wow that sucks.. I got locked out of the game yesterday.. Today I was much smarter.. I logged in early in the morning and went afk all day til I got home and was able to play.. And now I plan on not logging out ever again...

Seems to be a bass ackwards solution - but this too, is part of the problem. If no one were to ever log out, how the hell would anyone else try to log in?

I come home after working a typical 8 hour shift, the exception to typical today being that I am full blown sick by the end of the day. All I want to do is come home and play FFXIV. I would not be upset if I could sit patiently in a queue... wait my turn... but no, I have to spam the sever to maybe get lucky to play a game that I have now paid for twice.

And yet, now I can't even play the game. Two whole days are now wasted to me buying this game a 2nd time, and now it seems a 3rd day is going to be wasted also.

If the servers were not ready to handle the character load that is being presented to them, then why the hell did you not cap the population? I created my character early on in the process with Ultros in Phase 4 and I find it ridiculous that I have to be have penalized by not being able to play the game with the only solution being to re-roll my character entirely on another server.

Quite frankly, I am just disappointed... so very disappointed with this launch. I received my 90000 error in Phase 4 and I gave it the doubt with "Its Beta" but for Early Launch to be this segregated with the players is just demoralizing.

If you can't provide a reliable server for ALL players to have a fair opportunity to play... then take the damn servers down entirely until the game is in working condition. It sucks knowing that I can't keep up with my FC, Friends, and Peers because I don't have the patience to hit the 0 button for 3 hours.

All-in-all a terrible experience so far, which is tough to say cause I do enjoy the game immensely or I wouldn't be passionate enough to type out a mini-rant/voice my disapproval for this whole process.

At the very least, I hope Square-Enix makes up for this to the players that can't gain access and receiving a terrible unfair experience with FFXIV.

So you mean to tell me that the launch is in less than 24 hours and I am still getting the 1017? I see SE losing a lot of customers shortly after the launch in the near future.

[Syrehn]

They have 30 days to fix the issues, and I do not mean I want them to take 30 days, but that's how long my free sub is. There is no way I will be activating a reoccurring sub fee if this issue is continuous, no way indeed, and I can only imagine there are 1000's of others who feel the same way. SE better start opening up the server stability soon.

Server stability will NOT occur unless...

A) They keep the limits imposed (1017) and piss people off to the point they will not play; no servers needed and caps can be removed with potential mmo failure.
B) Get more servers; I feel like this probably won't happen.

[etcxxx]

I really wouldn't care if I was placed in a queue with 1000000 other people as long as I had a place in line and i could minimize my window and go about my business. This is seriously ridiculous. There is no reason to not have a queue the way other MMOs do.
