The server is full, try again later (1017)

[Jubmania]

I haven't been able to play all day. -_-

[Moirweyn]

"Please wait until an opening is available and try again"

How the hell am I supposed to know when that is exactly? Hmmmm?

Final Fantasy XIV A Realm ReTROLLED

[Chajava]

ugh.
I was able to get on. Then I had to mess with some graphics card settings and relog.
Apparently the last maintenance didn't do anything either. -.-

Lost all of phase 4 to 3102 now lost all of today to 1017. Come on Square how have you not gotten your servers down? You've ran "MMOs" for like what, a decade? 3102 was okay it was beta, regardless of the fact that players keep everything it was still a beta and I let it slide. Well now we are all playing something we paid for, and more then that we are the ones who paid for it ahead of time. We didn't want to wait and see how it turned out, we trusted that we would have a full game by release. Instead of following great game devs and pushing a game back until it was completely polished you pushed back and cut down on beta phases, accomplished very little during those and consequently have force your loyal customers to suffer. This is ridiculous. Fix this or in 2 weeks when people have to pay your outdated monthly fees people will flee, and flee in mass.

Did you learn nothing from your first attempt at FFXIV?

1017 ... really ? get your act together SE.

[_Sammster_]

Ok, so far I've given up on the early access thing, weekend is over anyway...

Only thing I'm afraid of is how this will look like in the release date of the game (tomorrow). I believe they got a hell of a lot of fixing to do before this game will be able to handle the masses of people playing. Guess they underrated the success of the game...it's a shame because I see that people are already giving up on it, that's the worst thing that can happen to an MMO I would think (especially if that's happening even before the official launch)

So please SE, communication is the key here. Would even find it more acceptable if you decided to postpone the release date for a few days to get your sh*t together then to leave us unknowingly staring into the 'universe image' at the character selection screen...but please, CLEAR COMMUNICATION...

Same error almost all day. 1017 1017 1017. I will have nightmares with that error

[leridder]

i have plenty enough of this 1017

other mmos are doing it : wow / swtor, a queue that says : 2h wait
that was the case a swtor, sometimes 2h30 as a queue when launched

that is a real queue system, players wait hours perhaps but in a stable server and knowing when

[Odd]

Out of the 20 hours I planned on playing, I got 1 hour...

Bring back the queue system. Taking that away is absurd!
