The server is full, try again later (1017)

Frankly, on Saturday, I expected issues as they balanced servers and loads. By Sunday they should had all the reports to properly allocate resources. Monday should have been fine tuning.

However, there is absolutely no excuse for the lack of skills that this company has demonstrated for the NA / EU users in managing the server base. I am not sure who is managing their data centers but someone really screwed up sizing. Spending 3 to 4 hours pressing 0 does not lend itself to customer satisfaction.

Its not a code issue since Asian users are not reporting 1017 errors.

Since this is an MMO, and my guild decided to select Cactuar in beta 2 I am stuck with a lvl 24 toon i cant play due to a company that cannot properly manage their own systems and possible code.

Add me to the list of people complaining and feeding the trolls.

My solution will be to login when server pop is low and AFK, screwing someone else. Till Square learns, let the punishment be 1017 to people unlucky enough to logout. Is that evil, yes, but since i roll neutral morality ( I dont care) and I am not too loyal to a company that cannot properly plan nor execute a project

A lot of people I know got into their servers tonight. Seems to be waves they are allowing in. We kind of got lucky. I logged in 3 separate times tonight.
The problem isn't fixed, but I can say it appears to be getting better.

I got my fix in, so I'm much happier! Wish everyone the best of luck getting into the game.

When GW2 and even Rift were first released they added new servers every few hours for several days after launch, WTH can't Square Enix do this!!?! This is beyond absurd!

Sooo... early access ends very very shortly, and launch happens. If the servers can't even fit the EA players, there isn't going to be a single person that buys the game on launch that are actually going to be able to play.

More servers need to be opened. Like, 7 more, at least. Then there needs to be free world transfers.

This is pure ridiculousness.

Not fun in any capacity.
