NA/EU character list down again

[Lithera]

They're expecting things to be working correctly once the new servers are up and the load is balanced. I guarantee if problems persist they will ensure that the announced extra free week does not get eaten by more 1017 errors. By the way the login server was up and running after the recovery announcement it's just that as soon as an announcement happens people start spamming 0 again and the server gets overloaded AGAIN, forcing the techs to once again reset the whole thing.

Oh comooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!!!!!

From my previous experiences on logging in we are not gonna get back online and play until later on tonight just like it's been doing these past tens of thousands of times maintenance error 1017

Why I think of it is because there are people who AFK and AFC but there are also people who goes to sleep at night so they log out so when those people log out then there will be space available in the server and that's when SE will always put out a Recovery Maintenance fix saying We are pleased to announce that the issue has been addressed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

But truth is people just logging out at night to go to sleep is what making us get into the servers, see if SE did really fix it we wouldn't be having these 1017 error like crazy during mornings and afternoon times right like I said that's how it's been these past few days cause they don't know a permanent fix for this!

1017 is not an error guy. the server is full and they have stated that a number of times.
The issue today is the login system is accualy messed up and servers are not showing up.
ive been locked out from even trying to login since 3pm EST

More than likely what happened, but it's still no excuse for what's going on here. I mean, honestly, implement two things barring the server upgrades/expansions/fixes/whatever:

1) Auto-kick AFKers.
2) When I push the button to log in, it puts me in a queue (a true queue. Not a queue for login processing purposes). I am number 2,471 in the queue. As soon as that many players log out, it will log me in. Know what that'll do? Stop everyone from spamming the damned server with login requests.

I appreciate the game and what they've made it into, but there seems to be a general lack of common sense as it applies to handling the issues at hand.

It is senseless to blame other players for the 1017s because everyone you are complaining about are paying customers like you. All deserving of the same. We all have only those schedules to play that we have, and it has nothing to do with you. As customers we all have the right to expect what we have been sold. Neither you nor I were sold access only between 3 and 7AM Central time or I would not have bought into this game ever. Would you?

Honestly even if they added the queue right now people would find more things to kick and cry about, I've seen people crying about avatar booty...

It's aggravating sure, but there isn't much that can be done. They'll fix it eventually. I'm not really trying to speed things up either honestly. I'm taking my time to not get burned out really. I guess it's good that it's down.

Try reading the Dev posts. This is literally the second thread on this forum.

Resolving AFK Character Issues

"From several users on some of our more congested Worlds, we have received requests for a feature which automatically logs out characters who are AFK for an extended period of time. We are actively looking into the implementation of such a feature, but have decided to first concentrate our efforts on increasing the number of Worlds and optimizing the Duty Finder servers."

Hopefully the people that keep complaining will be fed up and leave the game, which will make even more room on the updated servers.

I think the queue issue is because the login servers are a bottleneck. Everyone is funneled through that cluster and then transferred to the world servers. The queues for every world are hosted on one server cluster. Once the login server cluster hits it's population limit the 1017s start because there isn't even room to fit people into the queues.
