It's certainly one of if not the worst issue I've seen in an MMO launch. Queues I can deal with. Occasional bugs I can deal with. Something like this, that keeps you from playing at all? Yeah, no.Yeah, this is definitely one of the worst launches I've ever experienced.
Fingers crossed that these server upgrades work.
I mean, sure, we don't have an abundance of bugs, and once you log in the game generally works, but how many paying customers have been completely unable to use the product they paid for since launch?" That reflects really poorly on Square Enix as a company. The free 7 days extra will hopefully mitigate some of that, but they'll never really live this down (just like Blizzard never really lived down WoW's launch or Funcom never really lived down Anarchy Online's launch). People will continue to play, but some will just outright quit instead of wait for things to get better, and there are always those players who never forget.
The worst part is how players are encouraged to essentially be assholes and stay logged in just so they can avoid the pain of being locked out of the game. The last two days I just said "fuck it" and joined that crowd in staying logged in overnight just so I could avoid playing with Error 1017 ever again.

Well, I would have been able to play for more than two days over the past couple weeks. Good lord I hope it's fixed tomorrow.

I'm off to catch a coach and visit my mother and sister in a couple of hours, so by the time the servers are back online I won't be able to get on immediately. I do hope there aren't any major problems and the rest of you can play in peace, though! By the time I return I hope I will be able to create additional characters on Balmung. There's a fair few alterations I want to make to Theodric in terms of his appearance, class and possibly his surname so starting from scratch will be much easier - especially now that I've got a better grasp of the game's mechanics!

I didn't want to post a new thread, cause I'm awkward like that, buuuuuut. There's a 1027mb patch that was released about an hour ago. So people MIGHT wana go download that if you plan on staying up for the maintenance to end!

Well from what they are saying still going to have severe restrictions on logins so no change at all.
Only thing they have done is create more pools for the duty finder so it doesn't crash the server but that also means it'll take much longer to find groups because the pools are smaller. Seems they are giving everyone an extra weeks subscription as compensation though so it's something even if we hit the same walls when everyone logs in. Just hope we actually get to use that week. |

They said that before too. Temporary became all the time.
Give it until peak hours you'll see. |
