My attempt to login Behemoth at 6:12am EST... 1017!

[Crashdummy]

Not to mention with 30,000 in a queue across 25 worlds (1200 * 25 using your numbers.) the lobby and world servers would just be down.

Actually no, they would have a LOT less stress than if those 30,000 would be constantly trying to open several new connections per minute.

There is no excuse for not having a proper queue.

[Thabass]

I'm aware of the login restrictions. The point is that they were supposed to fix the 1017 crap. We shouldn't be seeing it to begin with. If the world is full, we should be entering a queue. Not getting an error.

TL;DR: As those of us on overfull worlds predicted, the maintenance didn't fix the problem. It only reduced the total number of people effected. It's like announcing that a cure for aids is just a slight increase in the production of treatment medicine, not an actual cure.

No. You're not aware. Otherwise you would not be making this post. Go do something productive for a change and quit whining.

This doesn't just go for you btw, this goes for everyone complaining.

Have you ever seen those 'end of the world' movies, where 500 people are at a police line, trying to get through to buy some last groceries before the catastrophe hits?

People are screaming irrationally at the line, one man is shouting at the police, a woman hurls obscenities whilst her daughter hides beneath her coat.

Then, all of sudden, the rope breaks...

Everyone surges forward and the police are overwhelmed. In moments the mass of ordinary, everyday people become a great swath of furious pack animals, intent on 'taking' what they want.

A chair is tossed high into the air, loops overhead and crushes straight through the shop window as the crowd ploughs through the open doors. Children fall, women are trampled underfoot, families lose each other in the madness. Fights break out and the police, or what's left of them, draw their guns...

...

Anyway

Please just chill out and wait a bit guys, it's not the end of the world.

Black Friday?

Black Friday?

Lol, yeah. I do always wonder where they get the chair from

And thus starts the great "never log off" mentality once again.

LOL, people are actually happy they're loggin on in the Early Morning (NA) on a workday when most schools have started again (so not many youngins on). My guess.. nothing has changed all that much as far as server capacity. And they could have made everyones life simpler by simply adding a REAL LOGIN QUEUE but they didnt do that either. Nor did they even add many new servers. Nor did they add an auto-logoff for inactivity.

Oh sqeeenix...

I am still facing 1017 on Aegis after nearly 20mins.

SE, I can understand if the world is full and I need to wait for my turn to enter but why am I still facing 1017 instead of being placed in a queue?? When are you going to solve the problem for good??

[ValorousVixen]

So nearly 5 hours after the big rush, I'm still receiving errors: 2002, 1017 on Masamune, and some other 500X error which I can't remember the last digit now. I have been in the queue twice now and waited a few minutes before being given error 1017. The second time I was in the queue I was in position 8 and after a minute it kicked me out with error 1017. What is worse is that I can't even create a new character on the NEW server for the JP data center.

Edit: Just got the error 5006: The lobby server connection has encountered an error.
