When can they stop the 1017?

[Yukirin]

I'm tired on fighting 1017 dungeon

[icy1007]

I haven't gotten 1017 since the extended maintenance.

[Sashan]

yup, 1017 again... game needs a rename to Final Fantasy XIV: A 1017 Reborn

[Zileth]

yup, 1017 again... game needs a rename to Final Fantasy XIV: A 1017 Reborn

Not everyone having this issue.... try again with a more wittier name

[Evangela]

when the free trial period ended?

[icy1007]

Everyone I've spoken with says they are having no issues logging now. Regardless of the time of day.

[Alhanelem]

Haven't seen 1017 since the 10 hour maintenance. I have seen login queues and for a few hours after the maintenance, I saw the "already logged in" issue, but no 1017.

[Shiin]

Haven't seen 1017 since maintenance. Last 3-4 days can login instantly without queues.

[Kokomoko]

I've been spamming 0's to get into Gungnir for 30mins- getting RSI. F***ing ridiculous. How is it all that hard to implement a queue.

[Issac]

I really hope they fix this for everyone except you, you don't really deserve it to be fixed and would be funny to watch you being the only one with this error... if only it were possible. I haven't actually had 1017 since the maintenance either so it's mostly fixed and when they do implement the afk kick it'll finish it off I think. Just need to have patience, you can't just magically code an afk kick feature in seconds. It takes time.

I have to admit, I giggled at his posts. While they were crude n' rude, he's just being the martyr in a way. His frustrated cussings are really just the anthem of the rage we all feel when we stare at our monitors and slam 0 like we just used our MNK's 2HR. For 30 minutes. Don't deny it. After >10 minutes of 1017 and beyond, you got pretty damn frustrated.

But I won't be the one to bring that frustration here, and neither will you. But we both feel it, don't deny it. And while many people aren't experiencing 1017 anymore, many still are. And you remember how it was. You understand.

In all honesty, they should have had scaling servers to begin with. Think of it as an overflow tank. When one or more servers experience maximum capacity, there can be a rack that takes the load so people can still login. Also, admit it, the queue should not be the way it is. It's a poor way to handle it, they are shooting themselves in the foot. Who cares if the queue reaches the thousands? I can watch my damn movie and get some damn coffee. None of this fighting with tooth and nail for my place in line. Watch out fellow 1017'ers, I carry a KBAR. Get out of my way.

As for the AFK timer? Yeah, they didn't plan for that and it's reasonable that they didn't because there's some controversy over the use of one in the first place. But everything else after more of a decade of their experience with FFXI? There is just no excuse.
