Square-Enix PLEASE READ (1017)

[Pure-Wasabi]

Square-Enix,

Since this is the game's re-launch I am willing to overlook the shortcomings of the game architects such as the poor resource allocation by inadequate management and poor network analysis by uncalculated network architects. These people have done a poor job of projecting what resources are necessary to run this game in a stable environment. Square-Enix KNOWS they have a successful game on their hands. They also knew how many pre-orders they had so they could have passed that information off to their data centers so the network and resource architects could have calculated and planned accordingly. Obviously none of this occurred or we would not be in the situation we are in today. So we are now at the mercy of a company that has poor projection skills.

Initially during early access I created a character on the NA server Diablos. I leveled this character to 20, but this character has been stagnant since then due to 1017 world full blocks. I am not one who will cry over spilled milk. So I moved on and tried to create a new character on a less populated NA server, but I could not due to the new character creation blocks. So I decided to move to the land of the rising sun, and I created a new character on the JP server Ifrit. I leveled my newly created character on the JP server to level 15. I was totally content with starting over anew, and everything was going smoothly until this morning at 8:00AM EST when I tried to logon to the JP server Ifrit and was greeted by the notorious 1017 world is full block. (NOTE: I also received a queue last evening on the PS3 when trying to enter JP server Ifrit, but was eventually permitted to enter)

However, I am willing to overlook all of the current short-comings and faulty projection management if SE can take the proper steps to remedy these problems within the upcoming month.

I have purchased 3 copies of this game: 1 PC Collector's Edition, 1 PC Standard Edition, and 1 PS3 Standard Edition. All of which will be tied to 3 separate SE accounts with 3 separate subscriptions. I will not be activating any of the registration codes or registering a paying subscription on any of these games/accounts until SE can remedy their data center problems. Once my free access (early access time) wears off these 3 accounts will all be stagnant. I am sorry but I cannot commit to a game that is not ready.

Square-Enix, if you are reading this please understand that I will return to the game once proper management of your resources has occurred. Until then I wish my fellow gamers good luck especially if you have already committed to the game by registering the game codes and a subscription.

Thank you Square-Enix I do adore the game you have produced, but please let me play it.

It's 7am where I live, and this is already like the 4th one of these today, worded the best, but still just saying "FIX IT OR I WON'T PLAY!" So take this with a grain of salt, Calm your tits, they are adding more servers, either wait, or get started and work on a toon!

As unethical as this may sound I have (this week) resorted to playing this game while I'm at work due to the login restrictions and 1017 blocks. I've been playing it on my breaks on my ultrabook that is tethered to my cell phone. This has been the only "real" unrestricted time that I have been able to play because most people are at work or school and the login restrictions don't seem to be as severe.

However, this morning that work-around ended due to the 1017 world is full block. I've also been disconnected several times this morning by the 90000 and 2002 error.

Where did you read that they were adding more servers. "This is true for Japan" I have yet to see anything about NA/EU

Stop making 1017 threads! They are fully aware of the problem. Instead of making a new 1017 thread every 20 mins, why don't everyone respond of one of the main 1017 threads while liking the original OP post. That is how the reps are going thru the forum, same way they did for the Beta. Have 100s of 1017 just muttles up the board and makes it harder for them to shift thru the other technical issues that they might not know of.

They specified that the post was badly worded. They are expanding NA/EU servers as well as Japan.

Thank you!!

Statishido,

Sir, I have valid points outside of the 1017 error. This is my personal plee to Square-Enix. If others want to reply that is by their free-will. I also have the right to create new posts on here just as you do sir. Please respect my rights and opinions. If SE feels that my post is inappropriate or misleading they will close it or move it.

Thank you for your concern, but this is my plee to SE, not yours.

If they sat on their butts and read every single wall of text complaining about 1017 like yours, they'd never accomplish anything. Do you have any idea how many people are making upset posts just like yours and how many of them want all of square enix to take 5 minutes of their day to read their post? You're not the only person in the world. They've already said that they're busy working on it. Wait for their fix to be implemented, and if you need to get in that bad, just play on a JP server for now.
