So the 1017 error.

[DarkChops]

This is a pretty bad situation, and because it's getting so much press, people won't log out because they know they won't be able to get back in. I won't pay for this.

[Spoetzl]

enough people will get pissed and say "im not paying for a 1017 error" and then there will be less people logging on. perfect fix.

I'll repeat it here: They've sold 400 tickets for a 200 seat show, and the few that did get in are having to sit and wait while the band warms up for 4 hours of a 5 hour concert.

The analogy is strange, but it's very accurate for what 1017 is. Restricting the number of players online is PR Suicide for an MMO - and failing to over-estimate your server needs is a mentally staggering notion for anyone getting into the MMO game this late in the game. Nobody should have to fight for what they paid for - and everyone who pre-ordered did in fact pay for it. I just really can't wrap my head around this.

same... game crashed now 1017 error, Malboro server

Can I transfer my character to a less crowded server? This is starting to really bug me. And before anyone gets bent out of shape, I spent a lot of time leveling (like many others) so "NO" I do not want to just reroll another toon on another server

If you can find a server that is currently NOT locked to new character creation that is.

This whole 1017 error is a joke and really is a an absurd measure they have put in place. I can't remember any other MMO launch where I have simply been locked out of a game that is up and running with no eta on when I can get in to play. Other MMO"s have had issues but generally that's been in game and I've been able to log in to deal with them.

Launch day will be HORRIBLE.

Don't want to sound like a dick, but honestly... this is pure garbage.

Very upset - Not many companies get a second chance, they are killing theirs.

I'm still getting this error...it worked this morning but now it's back again...what the flip?

[henrique]

This pretty ridiculous... I've lost half of the will to play this game...
And even if I don't care about getting a refund, which I probably won't, it's highly unlikely I'll pay a monthly subscription, even if they come to solve the issue.
I've had it... sorry, SE, but you crossed the line of failure.

Looks like World War 3 is going to start tomorrow and I'm going to be on the front lines facing this OP enemy "1017"
