Stop expecting bro. By looking at the actions of ffxiv arr team since early release, these maintenance doesnt really fix anything. Same issue different error. First the issue wherein you are still logged in even though youre logged out for 4hours already, then theres error 90000 wherein you always dc when you enter instances, and now this error 1017 wherein you cannot play because you tried logging in during peak times.

All of these have one thing in common: players cant play the game properly or cant play at all.


Adding new servers will only help those who are just starting the game, but the thing is, majority of the people who cant play already have characters in the old server and that character is the one they want to play. So without free transfers to new server, the problem will still exist.

Atleast thats what i understood from the notice. I do hope they are upgrading their old servers as well though not just adding new ones to mess up
