will error 1017 be finally removed? maintenance question

[Astralis]

Ive read somewhere that in the japanese version of maintenance notice, they said that aside from adding new servers, they will also be upgrading their server's capacity that will hopefully be able to accommodate all the players even during peak times (we are paying to play after all)

Anyways from the english version ive seen no message that says theyre upgrading the capacity and will only be adding new servers

[Zaggy101]

Hmmmmm, seem like they like the Japanese more :-P

[darios]

No it will not

[Zaggy101]

No, there just adding more stability and a actual que, more will be fixed though hopefully..

[Astralis]

Oh well :/ guess i still have to afk in game.

Kinda got my hopes high because of the 10hour maint and their promise that they will expand their capacity this week

[Dillema]

Nope. All that it will allow is more people to afk to keep servers full all the time. I expect it will be another few weeks before they do something about afk, which will help relieve more of the login issues.

Unless they are doubling the capacity and doubling the servers nothing much is going to change. And I don't find that feasible.

As one of the biggest critics of this game on this forum, I say just wait. Let the weekend come and that will be the true test of whether or not this maintenance was effective at accomplishing its goals. It is a rather big disappointment that they didnt introduce an AFK system but we now at least get to see how not having such a thing really affects this game.

Uh.. They sure have said it in English information, in 2 seperate Lodestone headlines:

To resolve this issue, we will be performing maintenance from September 3, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. to September 4, 2013, at 3:00 a.m (PDT), for the purpose of increasing the number of available Worlds, reducing stress on the Duty Finder servers, and increasing the number of concurrent logins allowed for each server.

To address this matter, we are currently working on introducing new Worlds and enhancing the performance of the login and match making processes on both the Japanese and North American & European data centers. This operation is expected to be completed at the beginning of next week.

Also Yoshi-P's post a few days ago:

The addition of new Worlds, as well as the adjustments to the duty finder servers, will be complete as of tomorrow. We will then enter our final internal testing phase of these features in preparation. If the results from these tests are favorable, we will conduct an extended all-World maintenance on Wednesday (Japan time). Once the new Worlds are implemented and the duty finder server load has been redistributed over smaller World server groups, we believe that many of the login issues that players are currently experiencing will clear.

He also touched on it at the PAX interview he did.

I do hope that before they implement the afk system, they should atleast increase the capacity of their server. Not to bash se but so far, this is the only game who charges people monthly but cant accommodate everyone. But its okay it is still in the early stages anyways.

I just hope they inc capacity before they introduce afk system. Because i always get home at server peak time and without afking i wont be able to play

[Ichirai]

Exactly what Estellios said, the Notice say it will help with all those issues - but of course we will know for sure tomorrow at Peak time or at 3am if everyone gets up early or stays up late and tries to log in at the same!
So we shall see~
