What is the solution to the problem?

Ok I understand the issue is that the servers are full but I have been looking for the solution to the 1017 issue and just haven't found it. I'm assuming SE has a solution for those of us who cannot get in? Help? I was able to log in at 4:30 this morning and that was the only time. I keep getting 1017 every time I try to log in. So I repeat - what has SE stated we are going to do so we can play the game we paid for (I paid for the game and didn't participate in EA so yes I am actually paying for this)? I saw that a week from now they are going to be adding servers. But what is SE doing so I can play TODAY? Thanks for helping a noob out

I literally post this and tab back in to try to login in for the thousandth time in the last two hours and get in. Thanks SE! Now to stay logged in until the servers crash or a fix is applied!

They posted on Lodestone they are going to add more servers either this weekend or "early next week" Hopefully this will solve the problem!

Doesn't help when 30 of their servers are locked from char creation now and all/almost all of the NA ones were gone by last night.

Even the option of playing on a server you don't want is starting to disappear.

There's literally a million posts on this topic and you make a new one to ask about it...
1017 isn't a bug. It means the world is full. SE has not implemented an effective waiting/queuing/whatever you want to call it system.
As a result, when they place people in queue, it actually still stresses their servers to instability.
Therefore, they've disabled the existing queuing system until they upgrade their servers.
The only solution is to keep trying and hope you get in during a moment when the server is not full.

Staying logged in for hours when you not using it is part of the problem, it means others a left out. People like this are the reason we need a 30-minute AFK kicker. :/
