The server is full, try again later (1017)

Apparently if you want to play tomorrow make sure you wake up right before the maintenance then go AFK all day while your at work so you can annoy 1000's of other people that actually want to play and when you get home you'll be good to go... I bet at least a 1/4 of the players on right now selfishly AFK. IMMRITE?

I run a fairly eclectic schedule, so this is exactly what I'll be doing.

At the end of the day, FFXIV will turn into a Hobbesian experiment in AFK squatting.

I regret not doing this, this morning when I was logged in before work

Yesterday, after receiving loads of error 1017's, I finally got into the queue and I got into the server. Then, for some reason, when I entered East Shroud, I got error 90000 and I got disconnected. Then I got even more 1017's and eventually, I gave up. Square Enix really needs to fix this as soon as possible.

Since for the majority of the past 3 days I have been playing the "OFFLINE" version of FFXIV: ARR, all I ask is that there be more features. Another cut scene would be nice or possibly custom options for the start menu(different colors and such or other music.)

They have solved the problem of having the servers full by blocking users from entering when there is too much people on it................... how clever !!!!!

[Crim2989]

guess we will see some mention of this error being resolved on there twitter site..

till then I guess its just sit back and watch the JP streams of other people playing

I am hopeful that they will get these error resolved before 12 CST...would be nice to get in some playing time, since they launched at the start of western school schedule.

How the hell can a queue be full?

Store the persons identifying information and time they entered the queue. Then simply count how many people are ahead and display it on the screen. When a slot opens on the server, take that persons identifying information and log them in.

What kind of ass clown programmed this?? "Queue is full??" at what 100 people 200? Are you storing the queue of every server on a digital wristwatch? Or is the code just such complete s~~~ that it can't handle an extremely simple list of users and update positions every 10.. 20.. 30 seconds?

As a senior programmer i can only assume that SE is standing up and saying "f~~~ you guys! HAHAH!" This crap is so basic it's asinine to witness. If you need me to come in and consult (which seems to be the case) then please feel free to contact me. At least it will give me something to do while you bend me over with this "log in lottery" you have going.

I've been extremely patient and supportive up till this point. But not managing to keep a queue stable? I finally realize what's happening. 1017 * 3 + 51 just means your reaming me with 3102. Which I took with a smile. Now you've launched. You've had how long to make sure the most BASIC aspect to an MMO (logging in) is working?

... Don't even get me started on the lack of an AFK auto log out feature.

Last time a que even got displayed to me, about 2 hours ago, there were only 90 people in it and when it hit 87 I got the dreaded 1017 error.
