So the 1017 error.

[freelncer]

Is this going to be a common thing after the actual release? When trying to get on for 3-4 hours and getting that same error will probably drive a lot of people away from playing the game.

Well truly this is a simple fix, the cause of this is people leaving their characters logged in and AFK, just implement a 15-20 min afk timer, as well as put the queue back and this whole 1017 error should resolve it's self.

Got it one! but.....SE are to thick to see that however.

[Davros]

this is ridiculous. really getting sick of it. im definatly not going to pay for this

[GrimInc]

Yeah not fun... If my previous characters on busy server let me transfer please

Server: Malboro
Character : My profile

Same error I had last night @ 9pm EST so I went to bed. Got home from work, same error. I know it's EST prime time, but it wasn't last night @ 9pm. Kinda feeling burned a bit.

Ahh, got a Queue for server, after retrying from 1017 errors. In game currently.

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.
