The server is full, try again later (1017)

[Diago_Kitsune]

Day 4 of 1017s. No response from SE at all?

Glad I haven't cracked the CDs yet.

You are all missing the point. The JP servers are working fine, nothing else matters. You can give them your money, but asking for fair treatment is out of line. We should be so lucky to help the JP servers out the way we have. In fact, you all should go out and buy another copy of the game so the JP servers can get another new server. Silly round eyes and your entitlements.

Yoshi already said he only wants 400,000 subs to run his game. Guess what? He has the 400,000. Fixing your problem would cost money, but he doesn't need you since he already has his 400,000. So there is no sense on spending money on people he doesn't care about.

This is such a bullshit misquote I don't even know where to begin, post a link to were he said that or piss off and stop trying to hatemonger. Here's the actual quote: http://venturebeat.com/2013/06/17/fi...lay-exclusive/

Guys, seriously, what's going on ?

How do u possibly expect people to pay for the game when they can't even play at all ? U want guys to pay 15$ a month to get a 1017 msg in their face ?

It's 2013, all games now have overflow management (GW2, EVE, EQN will have it, probably Wildstar too), how can a game that already failed miserably once can face such an incredible situation ? Do you use the same technology than for 1.0 ? Are u running servers on Sun Solaris or other kind of crap ? How can you even have NO queue management at all ?? It worked in beta !

It's official day launch today, you had already 4 days to fix this (ok in Quebec the days are short) and the situation hasn't improved at all. There is no forseeable solution, no timeline to keep your customers informed.

Honestly u bring shame to the whole gaming industry and totally soil Square Enix name. Infrastructure in 2013 is NOT an issue for any respectful company, you can loan / outsource / increase your server capacity "on the go" with any decent provider, cloud solutions allow you to do it real time as well. And you don't even have to pay for the capacity that you don't use (i.e., downgrading your server cap when pop drops). So, WHY 1017 ? How can you possibly explain it ?

you see they are ignoring this cause they have their heads up where the sun dont shine this could be an easy fix

I demand the presence of a GM and that he give one solution for this!!! this is not funny. SE... do you like that all people leave the game and dont pay it? would you like it? eh?. This is a fraud SE.. i will sue you SE. and I'm not kidding

I'm preaching to the choir here but I'd like to reinforce this point:

I'm aware that no new characters can be created on any NA/EU servers, thanks to a thread pointing this out.

However, the problem here is the login queue for servers appears to either be broken or purposely rendered unresponsive, leaving some people (like me) to repeatedly mash the login button until I get lucky (I did this for 30 minutes before I decided to do something productive). This problem is exacerbated by the apparent lack of an AFK logout timer and plenty of people on the servers know this exists, so they will simply idle to preserve their spot, thereby freeing up less slots for other players to play.

The most troubling part is the lack of a response. This thread is getting really huge really fast, a LOT of people are complaining and we all want to either play or get answers, and we have neither. The sudden lack of an official response of "There is a problem, this is what's happening, and we're working on it" kind of message where there were plenty before is especially troubling.

So, what's happening and why can't I play? And when will I?

It's only tricker if you don't control the program. In this case SE has full control of their own source code. They can do anything to it. Including putting a timer on retries, or better, their own priority code client side(aka 2nd queue).

This shouldn't happen because they have in house programers/engineers. I can understand a normal company getting hit because they rely on a standard set of tools, but SE has full control of theirs.

Unfortunately, the programmers still have to wait for permission to make those kinds of changes. I've been there; I wanted to push a fix that I had already written and tested, but the word upstairs was "not yet," so I sat there, twiddling my thumbs, and browsing the forum, reading all of the angry comments.

400,000 and then forget about the rest of us. You can keep praising SE if you want. Kissing ass won't get you past 1017.
