1017-Could be the deciding factor on whether to subscribe or not

[Treblah]

you do realize that the log in process is part of the game right...if you can't log in you can't play simple as that, now I know other MMO's have had bad experiences with a launch but they at least keep you informed about what is being done to help fix the problem not only that but they don't have 2 months to fix the issue, I really hope I can play after the maintenance but I don't think adding a couple servers is going to take care of the big issue of the servers just filling up.

yeah...plagued by this on my day off today...give it a like a share; get the word out!

This is a huge problem. I have managed to get 1 character to 20. This is just ONE of the issues that is causing me to want to uninstall FF14 and not bother with it again. It looks great but it's nothing if you can't even get on to play it. Not going to waste $15 a month to be told 'Server is full, try again later'.

Within a month or two? While people are paying for the game?


I expect this bullshit to be fixed by Wednesday.

Yeah, if this isnt fixed by wednesday i will be contacting visa to cancel the charge on my card. Im pretty sure the fourms, an apology from SE, and the fact you still cant play after a week of official release is enough proof to get my money back.

No one's paying for the subscription yet. And anyone who's bought days will likely be getting extensions.

So obviously A) you are working for Square Enix or are just a fanboy or fangirl. or B) You dont understand logic.

They said they would give us 1 free week. Does that sound like 2 extra months of time to you? During that time will you not have to pay to play or not? I'm pretty sure you will. So yes, while people are not paying right now... they did pay for the game which also costs money. The game did not come free with the local walmart buy an orange get ffxiv free. It costed MONEY. Now I understand a few messups, but this is ridiculous. How can you keep defending them>? Listen... if you seriously think people are going to pay 15 dollars a month for a game they cant even play during normal hours... then you are either delusional or just stupid.

Well tomorrow will probably be the make or break for this game for quite a few. If I recall they are doing maintenance starting at 5pm pacific for the new servers and change to how the duty finder works. When it comes back up whatever time on Wednesday we shall see if we continue to see the issues. I'm hoping for the best. When I do get to play the game is great. But as I states WHEN I get in.

[Saisha]

It is a little discouraging. But I definitely am at least giving them a couple months. I love the game when I can get in. The log-in trouble is a real annoyance but not a deal killer for me.

Yet.

I am really torn with the game, I mean its not a great MMO but its most def playable and there are things that is very much enjoyable. MMOs take couple years after released to be polished and I get that. BUT, the way they have handled all the server issues while still promising the world in future patches really eats at me. Yoshida should be a politician, I want to believe the guy but chances are its just bullshit.

I really hate make or breaking a game on server issues. But, I took a week off with half of it dedicated to this game and I feel more stressed out going back to work then when I left work. I just don't want that kind of stress when I am looking for a game to just get lost in for a couple hours a night.

Its make or break wednesday for me.

It's not like just waiting until they fix the problem is a viable solution. We must demand reparations!
We all (1.0 players & newcomers) have a certain free to play period, and because of these issues
many of us (the vast majority) are effectively being ripped off! Seriously , like we have to wait until
a subscription fee is necessary before we can play w/o issue? NO!

They MUST extend the free to play period for all users! By at least as long as these issue have been
present. You know, 1.0 was free to play for several months because of customer dissatisfaction?

I'm hoping SE does the right thing and holds off on the subscription fee's for at least a week, or two.

On a related issue, one thing that is really beginning to irk me about 1017 is the message it displays:
"The server is currently full. Please wait for an opening"?

This implies that the user would be some how aware or notified of an open spot to get in, such as
a "queue" ARR~gggg!

[SheepFluff]

They have extended it. They are already giving everyone 1 week extra and possibly more depending what happens on the major fix on wednesday and like most people that wednesday will decide for most people whether they will stick to this game or not
