So is anyone playing?

I wouldn't go as far to say it's shameful. This isn't even close to my top three most frustrating launches.

Nice to know you are very happy with the launch. Can't say the same.
We are angry, with reason.

I haven't been able to log in to a US/EU server for the past 12 hours. It's infuriating. I can't exactly expect my entire guild to try to remake on JP servers just so we can try to game together.

I have been unable to login from 4pm BST after the maintenance occured.

Almost 7 hours now. O_o

Heck I still can't even install the darn thing onto my PS3, I did everything that Sony and Verizon suggested that I do. I even only downloaded right off the PSN network, turned off the screen saver, and disabled the media searcher. I even did the reformat of the PS3. It still stops at 14% corrupted data. This just proves that it is a server error.

Have played a total of maybe, maybe two hours since it launched at 2am last night... just a cluster F of errors

I've put over 10 hours into it since EA, but right now I can't access. I'd love to rage and make threads demanding something, but i'm not angry and i'm not an entitled jerk. Launching of an online game is messy. I'd probably start to lose my patience if this persisted into next weekend though.

I've been trying to play since 8:30am Central. It's now almost 5:30pm Central and so far I have yet to actually make it in-game. The closest I've gotten was actually managing to bring up my character list, at which point it booted me with a "server is full, try again later" message. All other times throughout the day, I can't even bring up the NA/EU server list. If this shit isn't fixed within 3 1/2 hours, the entirety of Early Access will have been a wash for me. I only managed to get in for about 3 hours yesterday and I have to work all day tomorrow...

It is annoying that the NA/EU servers are still getting troubles, especially how SE thought that they had tackled the problem :/.

The Japanese servers have been fine so I've only found out about this trouble from coming to this forum :/.

[MisterChubu]

I guess apparently they are waiting to apply fixes to the servers until its not primetime http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...13#post1055113

Too bad thats 2am tomorrow morning my time, they should just do it now since most of us can't play anyhow.

MMO launches are historically messy, but I don't think I've ever been through one where I couldn't at least make it into the game. I'm use to constant disconnects and lag, but at least you can play. I just hope they get things ironed out in time for the main game launch. Really excited to actually get in to play the game. Now back to reading a book.
