Unable to update the group NA/EU Character List

[BrodyBruce]

Had same problem, but now can't connect to Lobby server.

Here`s the hurdles you have to jump through to play this game :

1. Is the lobby full? if so try again... if not move on to step 2.
2. Is your server list up? If not... refresh and try again. If you succeed go to step 3
3. Is your world full? If so try again... and again... (this is where I am). If you get a que for your server chances are you get in (or like me you get disconnected because the que is evil evil)
4. Play the game or repeat any of these steps...

This is a great mini game SE... thanks (no this is sarcasm... been trying to get on for 2 hours this morning... )

I'm confident things will get better. Right now my NA/EU list won't load either. First time I've got this error actually. Though recently, my friends and I are having much better / more consistent luck at the "log-in game." I think we all just need to keep in bright spirits through this tough time. For me the game is so SO worth it.

So, I'm getting this error where the world/character lists for NA/EU won't load - although there is no mention of maintenance going on anywhere. If I don't get this error message then I get one that says lobby server has encountered an error and it closes the whole client.

This is what I have been dealing with all day:

Unable to update NA/EU list, but status shows servers up? This problem again?

10pm - 2am AEST same issue last 3 days... obviously they got no idea whats wrong or how to start troubleshooting.

I, just like everyone else, am unable to update NA/EU lists and now I have a lobby connection error.
I understand that people like to come to the defense of SE and FFXI, and I am sure that eventually things will be fixed.
That being said, the developers must anticipate at least some of the technical difficulties at launch. Impressions are made at the start and your first impression is sometimes your only impression. There are going to be a lot of people who are going to be unwilling to pay for something when other free games are providing superior service. Sometimes you only get one chance. Hopefully this doesn't count as our free month until everything gets squared away.
