The server is full, try again later (1017)

[sgosky]

LOL, so after SE allocated my EA to a second service account and still hasn't resolved anything, I buckled in and activated my CE to be met with 1017... Is there a single thing they aren't fucking up?

I thought of selling my CE earlier, but I'm not that keen on burning in hell for crimes against humanity...

They aren't adding idle log out timers because they support botting; when players are done, a lot of them go idle for the 10, 20, or more hours, in order to not lose their server spot, and square has already publicly mentioned that they have no intention of adding idle logout timers or correcting this issue. (I.e. number padding)

I also love how I can't even get into a queue, but all the JP servers are accepting new toons.

I think this is a major fail in SE's part, in underestimating the amount of people with interest in this game. I find it very saddening that they have not put more thought in re-release of this game. If they were willing to make a second attempt with this game they should really have had all possible scenarios into play with a potential succeeding fix for this stuff. If they really intended for this to succeed they should have planned for these possibilities and been willing to put in more new servers/virtual servers to get there customers access to the game. They could have opened up fewer servers in the beginning and opened up more as they filled. The fact that their are so many people still getting these messages is showing that they did not do this. Being a very big fan of a lot of Squares work in the past it saddens me. I do still believe it is there intention to fix this. I say gods speed. In light of hearing they have no plans in implementing more servers does not sound very encouraging. This does not sound like the Square that I gave a lot of my money to growing up as a gamer. I still feel hopeful, but am becoming a bit of a skeptic at this point.

Can you prove that, I have never seen anything saying that. In fact earlier beta had afk kick, they definitely removed it for some stupid reason just like quest tracking. I think they are taking Japanese feedback without consulting NA/EU.

i remember Square saying "If FFXIV ARR isnt a success, square might go bankrupt". Well congratz on screwing up your launch for those of us who want to use US servers. You guys have proven that you cannot make a good game at all. RIP Square Soft. Hope someone worthy picks up this IP when this company is dead.

I like how they still haven't properly addressed this problem. I had hopes they'd have fixed it yesterday or atleast started to find a solution. Really disappointed in SE.

You see that they shut down 19 of 25 servers from creating new characters. just wow on day 1 no new players can join but japan gets brand new servers to hold up their stress levels which are none....

[paradighm]

lol and after trying to log in now for about an hour - now they cant even retrieve the NA/EU servers

[Dunkill]

Jeezus. This 1017 error is absolutely ridiculous. I don't know about you guys but this is definitely not gonna fly with me if they don't figure it out asap. I understand the concepts of MMO launches. But even Diablo 3 (not an mmo) wasn't this bad. I've been a part of SWTOR, GW2, and several WoW expansion launches. None of them were this bad. I expect not to be able to log in for the first half, maybe even a full day. But it's been 3 complete days now (since early access), and that's not even counting the log-in problems during open beta. They can't even implement an effective queue system... just some shitty error message that basically states I have to either randomly try to log in during the day, or just mash my face against my keyboard trying over and over to connect. Absolutely infuriating. Put me in a REAL queue at least.

This is bullshit. Next week everything will be normalized.
