Square Enix, please explain why I'm still getting 1017 every single mornig still?

Aegis is a Japan server. So remember that 6PM-12AM Japan, is 2am-8am West Coast NA, and 5am-11am East Coast NA. So you are seeing peak play time for Japanese players overlapping NA players who are also just getting up and who play on the same servers.

And also to point out: most of the JP servers have restrictions still, while few NA ones do. Even with the changes last week, it wasn't enough for the JP side. This is because while there was a large number of NA players on the JP severs, there are hardly any of the reverse. Which means JP servers have more players during JP peak time, than NA servers during NA peak time. Except for weekends. On weekends it seems about on par both by 1017, and locked servers.
