The past couple days, I've been waking up at around 8am CST (that's 6am PST) and trying for at least an hour to log in. All I've gotten for my efforts are a slew of 1017s, so... yea, even getting up early, you're more likely than not not gonna get in.
Yeah, it isn't such an easy solution as just waking up early. I usually log on about 9-10AM here - In the UK, mind, I have no idea how early that is where you are though - And I still get a queue time.
Two or three hours later and you're being hit with 1017s. I never really had these issues before Monday, though - I only struggled to get past the 1017 errors if I logged on after 7pm, and I assume just about everyone is awake at that point, so...
If they're not letting more people in to the server, and the server wasn't this busy (to my knowledge) over the weekend, does that mean they're shrivelling up or something? Or are we just dealing with more AFKers by this point?
Well, at the very least we can just sit and hope for the best. I wouldn't mind a more stable Coerthas where I can actually hit the dragon instead of watching my chocobo peck at invisible dragon butt.
And then a FATE spawns on my face and I get crushed by an invisible Cyclops.
...And following this, a sliding chocobo train swoops in to save the day!
Yeah...That's kind of a minor issue and probably on my end, but I'm allowed to rant here, right?
I really feel bad for the people who can't get on to the server they want to - I know that feeling of isolation despite being in an MMO. It'd be a huge boot to the face if they have to actually pay to transfer to the server they wanted to play on in the first place, as well, so I do hope they offer free transfers once people jump ship and decide they don't actually enjoy FFXIV as much as they'd hoped.
