That there new error for logging in now. no worries just keep trying. It there way of nerfing people logging now from what friend said. There so far over there heads it crazy, and there to afraid ask for help, I know there were 3 other mmo company asking help them since they want the game to succeed and they turn it down. It help the mmo genre as a whole.

They're, there, their, it'll all be OK.

i think all the afk'ers should get suspended for 24 hours cause alot of ppl cant play because these self entitles SOB's stay logged in aka afking so they wont get locked out maybe not being allowed ingame for 24hours will teach them to respect others and not manipulate an issue aka exploit it to their advantage >see when im online i play then after about 6-8 hours i logout when im done why afk and be a douche?

Exactly. I log out after I'm done playing too. Most of the afkers though are people who do not have the time to play during the morning or during late at night. Jobs and families to care for only limit them to evenings. I don't blame them for doing it since that is the only way they will ever get past the 1017 error during peak hours.

Managed to get past the Start button and now I get a message informing me the world is full.

Giving me no option to change world it just boots me back to the main menu.

Congratulations SE on fucking up a launch worse than Diablo 3.

Anyone getting these errors should run a ping test to a random website to see your connection before/during/after trying to log in to FFXIV.
I have been doing this and FFXIV seems to be causing a overall connectivity issue when you try to login and you should see your internet connection stabilize once it kicks you or you exit out.

ALSO, I notice now when its a connection issue by simply watching how the Rating Screen and "Square Enix" logo show up before you get to the start button. Both will appear as if they are stuttering or it takes a long time to get to the actual start button.

(If you do see some sort of connectivity issue when doing this, there is a sticky up on the tech support forum regarding ISP possibly throttling the connection and it maybe related. Please add your info there for visibility)
