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

[kurokawa]

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??

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.

I'm amazed at Square Enix inability to make a proper queue system work.

This is just plain stupid, we are not asking for a cold fusion research here, how is it that they are incapable of make a working queue system?

Do people really not have anything better to do with their time than to complain that they can't play a game? I can understand alerting SE to the continued issue, but the endless crying is beyond ridiculous at this point. I've spent plenty of time trying to log in without success and I'm not whining about it. I log out when I'm finished playing, knowing the login issues. It's a game. A [I]game[I]. Seriously. If people are that unhappy about this launch, they should just request a refund and move on to another game that doesn't require them to be patient while the bugs are worked out. If you don't like the product, return it and be done with it. It's really quite simple, IMO. What ever will these folks do when something really huge happens in their real lives?

Go read a book until you can get on.
