The server is full, try again later (1017)

they have sincerely dropped the ball on this, whatever text they put on their information pages, they KNEW how many pre orders were sold, and they also Knew from 4 iterations of beta testing the server loads. they knew how ofent the 1 server that handles instances was getting hit.
if they didnt, they need a better support crew.

They plain and simple aren't prepared for this weekend and launch in less than 2 days.

Striker.

Not to defend what's gone down thus far, but they built the instancing and lobby servers well before the final pre-order numbers came in. They could have adjusted accordingly, had they had a longer or earlier P4, but they didn't. A lot of people didn't pre-order until after trying OB, which is why most companies don't have their OB less than a week before early access.

sorry but i really dont think this as a good excuse, they are having this issues exactly because of poor planing. 2 days OB? they clearly didnt test enough and/or didnt have enough ppl on open beta to have a more accurate scenario but even so i believe any other company would have a plan B in case more players then expected were to login. so your game fully breaks if for some reason it becomes a "success"?

You obviously didn't read the post. I stated the exact same thing you just said.
