The server is full, try again later (1017)

[TopherF]

Was on this morning around 7AM EST for not even an hour. Got kicked, and have been stuck with the BS world full, and unable to update NA/EU crap for the rest of the time. I know problems will happen at release, but this is just terrible... The real kicker is the lack of any information. I see now one of the reasons the first version of the game failed so badly.

just got "upgraded" to 1017 error after getting 90000/10102 from teleporting from the Waking Sands to New Gridania around 4:30pm EST. i just started getting the 1017 error about 6pm EST. every few minutes i go from 1017 to "unable to retrieve NA/EU world list." the friends i was playing with went 90000 > 10102 > 3102.

So 8 hours later, well for me at least, and after " Emergency maintenance " we're still sitting here doing nothing because we can't get into the game. Great Work SE!! You really have outdone yourselves with this farce of an early access launch. A good deal of players who have paid to play this game early and would likely be the players that would stay and sub, can't actually play. Where is the communication from you telling us what is happening and why is this not fixed yet? Wasn't BETA supposed to sort this out and seriously the only people playing at the moment are people who preordered the game which means YOU KNEW HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE PLAYING FOR THIS PERIOD OF TIME so you should have had capacity for those numbers organised.

I cannot believe SE convinced me to PAY for being a Beta tester. I should have realized this during Beta phase 4 and avoid preordering the game. After all, it feels like I played nothing so far...

This is not an Early Access, its early disapointment.

My thinking is this: It's a downgrade and even hurts the service more.

I'm no networking guru or claim to know anything about the topic but if you have 10,000 people, at the same time, trying to open the same steel door, it won't work. Whereas, if you line them up, one at a time, and have them each open the door, it will allow everybody to enter.

I think the constant "pinging" of connection attempts is actually doing more harm than good, akin to DoS attacks on companies. Like I said, I'm not expert but I think that hundreds of thousands of people trying to dink and dunk their way in, is more taxing.

I love how in this early access, i've been able to play for all of maybe 4 hours straight before something happens.

You are true here, the current situation is even worse for the servers.
Right now i try to login for an hour (went to sleep 7 hours and just woke up), and i get the error that the world is full, no queue. If i try this about 10 times, then i get a message that the NA/EU characterlist cannot be read and have to restart the game completely.

Both problems is due to the extremely high amount of persons trying to load the character list and trying to login to the world many times.
Both problems can be instaly fixed by putting everyone in a queue instead of forcing them to load the characterlist and try to login to world.

World: Gilgamesh
Character: Braik Ravensflyte
Error: 3102

IMO, SE is just buying time until Monday arrives for NA and we all have to go to work so they can spend that downtime fixing their *&@^$*&

All the NA servers are in Montreal, Canada. I think.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad...on the login screen they say several worlds are experiencing login difficulties. Difficulties? How about plain old can't. And how about fixing it instead of leaving it as it is? Just not letting people log in just says you didn't fix the problem so you're trying to pretend it's not there if there are still some people who can get in. Threads aren't 100 pages anymore, so it must be better, right? I understand wanting server stability, but not even a queue for hours, just "try again later" is ridiculous.

Players will resolve the issues on their own, either by leaving and providing plenty of room on the servers or by never logging off once they log in. I'd be willing to bet that's part of the problem now. Several of the people on are afk and have been for hours. I really don't complain about these things generally, but it's gone beyond the point of reason now. This is, if nothing else, a soft launch and it's failing. Do you really think Tuesday, when the populations are even worse, people getting a go away and try again sometime later message is going to make them think SE is better this time around? this needs to be fixed and sooner rather than later. Having it be a lottery to see if we can get in is going to get old fast. It's getting there now.

cant wait to see what going to happens on the launch day.
