Still 1017 during OFF TIME hours....

[Goregasm]

It is not peak hours here, and after many attempts STILL getting the 1017. If this continues after wednesday, I will never play this or any square enix game again and I hope many others boycott. Everquest Next looks promising however.

I have had no issues logging in or playing all day today.

Liar. Good luck getting on NA or EU for the most part.

BACK ON TOPIC.

I hear you... people more so than ever are afking now in game to save a spot. Good luck.

I don't believe that for a second unless:

1. You are on Japan servers
2. You are an online afk-er

well, to be honest, I'm getting difficulty logging in, although it wasn't peak hours last night .
I'm on Tonberry (JP server) by the way.

"Off time" is irrelevant here.

The main problem is players logging in and refusing to log out, filling what few slots each server has. (few, compared to the amount of players that are registered to each server)


They locked char. creation on almost all the servers to try to get people to make new toons on the "less populated" ones, but honestly I don't want to restart - again. Already did once.

I'd prefer, instead, a character transfer service. first shot freebie of course, then all my friends and I could go to 1 server and never leave it.

I can't really blame people for doing that though. It's an issue that SE has created. Players reacting to a problem that SE should have remedied.

Not to sound cynical man, but there's really no point in trying to log in anymore until the servers are fixed. You're just wasting your time and frustrating yourself over something you can't control.

The community that is in the game realized the AFK strategy which has now become a standard strategy to everyone now. And while you can blame them for taking up space, you also really can't... (because they also paid money and are taking steps to ensure they don't waste their money.. yada yada, but that's another topic)
So spots are too scarce to be worth the effort. Best advice is to just go play another game until the servers are fixed. It sucks, but it'll take your mind off it. Then if you can't get on then, well... then shitake has really hit the fan.

Also if it's any collation from my experience and many others as of late, even if you get in you're most likely going to get 90k'd out.

Yes we're all disappointed and you can bash me for saying, "Just wait it out"... but it's really your only option that can keep you calm about the situation. You make this thread it doesn't effect SE, and only serves to bring people to come in and clash on each other.

Yeah it's no biggie really....how about them people dying and being tortured in the world? I wonder if they are upset?
