I cringe when I cannot log on, but I'm very patient and with my free time they have provided (think around 12days left) I believe they will have the issues solved... If not, yes I'll still be throwing my money at SE hehe...

No. I am not paying for a broken game. Maybe the Legacy players can support their devs again and get a free pet or whatever.

I don't think anyone expects people to pay subscriptions if these log in issues persist, least of all SE themselves. This whole server/log-in thing was a mistake on Yoshi-P's part, but he's apologized and stated it'll be fixed next week. I also have confidence if next week's fixes aren't enough, they'll continue to implement more things until it's all working. They'll also probably compensate us with an extension of the free trial. If 1-it gets fixed and 2-we're compensated for lost time, I really don't see why you wouldn't sub if you like the game. It sucks this problem exists right now, but if FFXIV has proven anything in its lifespan, it's that they'll fix a problem if it comes up and compensate fans accordingly!
Also, imo it's a bit unfair to say "I can't believe I'm still getting the 1017 problem" and that "SE still hasn't fixed this." They didn't "continue" to mess up from OB to early access to launch to yesterday to today, it's one big mistake they're still working on fixing. So until the new servers open up next week, you'll continue getting the 1017 message. We all just have to sit tight until then.

The people here that are so quick to throw their arms up in the air on this forum are the reason why SE chose not to have a larger number of servers/server capacity. Every game has queues. 1017 sucks but they've explained why it happens. If SE did all the upgrades that everyone here bickered about, people would say "Too bad SE, you had your chance". So all that money on server improvements and then BAM it's now impossible to recoup those costs. Even if there weren't any server issues, people would find something else to whine about. If you're hunting for a F2P game, you'd best leave this community.
I would be willing to pay for a subscription if they make some sort of compensation for my time lost not playing the game. There are literally no servers that are not full and there is no way to play at this time. This has to breach some sort of legal agreement for goods and services. I am not saying I would personally do it but I believe they should offer customers the option to return the game for a full refund. Even if they don't the name of Square Enix will likely not recover from their ineptitude as too many customers are going to spread the word about not being able to play after paying for it. You can argue all you want I am positive they have lost a large chunk of game buyers and future subs.
When you buy something from a store and a piece is missing from that item, do you bring it back or do you keep it. 3 days early access and a bad judgment of population in server at a time was the missing item. In a way you can call that bad advertisement but we can fight about this all we want but the truth, "Real Truth" is that they failed once before and people don't like it. Sure new people running it now and we are giving them our second chance, most people are staying till the month is over. Now its their turn to show everyone they are wrong. I hope they do because they really impressed me so far with their Dungeon content and Main Storyline.
I've added a bunch of crysta to my account and signed up for the 180 day plan (hopefully all went well with the registration and payment option I selected >.>;; I'd hate for the account management site to be experiencing butthurt service too.) I am however extremely disappointed with how SE handled our name changes; advertising the info on the Lodestone site is just beyond stupid in my opinion. I am hoping that they will offer a paid service (yay tossing away more money -_- /sigh) and if so at that point they keep the info PRIVATE.
I already bought the Crysta for 30 Days sub...so yes i will.![]()

I actually like the game a lot and I am not planning on quitting before I hit the level cap and experience end-game, but it is a little disheartening that I can rarely log on. I can only pretty much play on weekends and prime time on weekdays and it is a rarity that I get through to the point where I have barely ever been able to play. I'm not the type to leave my computer on all day and night just to stay logged in, I'm not that obsessed with getting in but...I mean it's a little ridiculous that I can't play a game I paid for lol. Like at all.
