The world is currently full

Oh I'm sorry, he must have forgotten the part where he paid for a game and was unable to play it. Oh, and also the part where it's the 2nd launch of the same game, and the same company managed to completely botch it both times.

It's pathetic beyond words.

1) He is able to play the game. It's his own fault for choosing to play on a full server. Sure, he might have a character on that server already, but launches always have issues with full servers. If he doesn't want to wait, then he can play a temporary character on a lower pop server.

2) Not the same game in the slightest. The only things that transferred over were characters and lore. The game was rebuilt with an entirely different engine.

3) They haven't botched anything. If this is your first MMO, I can understand why you don't understand that. The first week of an MMO launch always has these problems. Even SWTOR, which had the smoothest launch ever, had queues that were up to 10 hours long.

1) tl;dr 1000 character limit

1. ...but all of the servers are either full or locked.

2. It's still a second chance run, not many companies get those.

3. They HAVE botched this launch. What you fail to grasp is that the magnitude of error in this particular launch is unprecedented. As others have already stated, never in my long MMO history has a game that I'VE PAID FOR ever told me "we're full go away" in so many words. Everyone whose feeling frustrated has a right to be and they have a right to complain. Personally, I don't care if it bothers you. It makes me feel better.

It comes down to this. What is the point of a queuing system, if it will tell you at the end of the queue that it is full. Isn't the queuing system supposed to know the current load and let you in as the load eases up? Call me crazy but that is how I would interpret a queue system. You're in line to be let in as capacity permits.

Yea, 1017 here as well. I was 111 in queue and then after 30 seconds I was 110 in queue and then 30 seconds it was back to the FF14 Mini Login Game.

I love the game but this is really sad, especially since this is their second attempt at this title. After such a terrible performance the first time around you think they would have gone a bit overboard on this attempt to avoid this kind of problem. It's not like they can't see how many subscribers they have or how many people bought the game, they know these numbers. They should have known from those numbers how much they were going to get hit and said "Wow, we're gonna need a bigger boat."

Also, add an AFK kick timer to the game. I know of a lot of people who do not log out unless they get kicked off. They stay logged in while at work and while sleeping. Hell I bet 25% of the people on at any given time have been AFK for hours.

Get those servers updated Square...

spam "A" or "x" you get on...normally takes me 15 as i watch some anime

Amusingly enough, this is my solution, as well. I've got the PS3 controller in hand, with the login server on the big screen, and I'm watching anime streamed through Hulu on my laptop as I wait. I've yet to get through a full episode of anything before I get in to play, except in the 9pm to 12a "peak time."

Folks, take a deep breath, calm down, give them some time to blow the man down. This is an awesome game, and we all love it, so give them time to work the kinks out.

If you guys complaining, would stop for a second and actually read things. You would know SE has more servers and they will he functional by next week. You're paying monthly? Umm idk about you but up to even today I haven't had to use my product code. And my account is still on ea. Why? Oh ya.... Because SE extended it because of server issues. No one is paying monthly yet, not you, not me ,not new players or legacy.

Wow, you managed to be incorrect on both counts.

No, all of the servers are not locked or full. That's simply not the case.

No, the launch has not been botched. Millions are playing the game. And your very words betray you, since you either A) don't have a long history with MMOs at all if you don't understand that the first week of launch is always like this, or B) you're purposefully trolling.

Yeah, you paid for the game and you can play it. You might have to play on a server that you didn't plan to play on, but that doesn't mean you're incapable of playing. At any time there are plenty of servers you'd be able to log into with no problems. If you want to play on a specific server that has a high pop, then you're going to have to wait... like every other major MMO launch in history.

Nothing bothers me about your whining. But I do have to correct people when they make false claims.

Server issues don't equal a botched game...the game itself is amazing. Server woes are typical in MMO launches because for most it's a flavor of the month and they're all looking for the next big thing. SE didn't botch this, blame all the tards who are AFK in game and keeping the rest of us out.
