NA/EU world can't update

[Ahanui]

i actually got your in Queue 3 players ahead you then got 1017, im starting to think the servers are trolling me

[Koldhara]

servers not updating is a symptom of thousands of people all trying to log in....

try it enough time and the log in lobby will give you a 1017 error.

my only real concern is that if this issue persists for more than a couple weeks. i hope SE is not succumbing to the preassure of pushing the new servers out when they aren't ready. more servers will be meaningless if they aren't stable.

those of us who have played this game at all know how good it is and will stick around. it all really depends on how soon SE can fix the congestion problem now.

Labor Day, no classes, no work, family sleeping after a BBQ means there's going to be a ton of people looking to get on FFXIV. I think SE should have just done all international servers instead of labeling them JP and NA/EU. The lag is like non-existent on a JP server. If they didn't segregate the list, I'm pretty sure character creation would have been more evenly distributed.

They probably planned it like FFXI, but maybe some whiny NA or EU player didn't like the idea of playing with people they couldn't understand. Playing with international folks is fun and makes it seem like you're in a foreign land in-game.

You have a point. The majority of people I played with towards the end of 1.23 were Japanese, and I never had a problem. Hell most of the time people don't talk anyway...at least for me.

I tend to think it's more that the JP's wanted their own little world and not have to deal with trying to communicate with NA/EU players.
I do however agree that they should have not labeled/segregated the world list as it is more fun to just have a mixture of everyone in each server and would have more evenly distributed character creation throughout.

Yea NA/EU wont load.

Sad day, my first day off after 3 days of 12hour shifts. #1stworldproblems

I agree, I had a JP friend back in FFXI that said that a lot of JP's felt like the NA/EU invaded their game, so they were angry about it and didn't want anything to do with English speakers. We just play by a different set of rules I think, like no conversions over general/shout channels in zones. That's something us English speaking folks do a lot ... I tend to love the entertainment of a long drawn out possibly racist philosophical arguments over zone chats, but that's just me.

This login boss needs to be nerfed big time. Worst addition to the game yet.
