I guess SE NA's networking dept didn't get a hold of SE's main marketing dept in terms of the whole server population cap / Subscription type (8 chars per server) issue.  I think Yoshihisa Hashimoto is gonna have a lot of answering to do come release if he doesn't open up the pockets and invest in better servers.

It seems like they didn't adjust the server cap from beta phase. What is the current server population cap anyways? Anyone know?

Yep! I'm getting that as well so you aren't alone. Which I suppose means we can't get on until a bunch of people log off? Which seems unlikely. Everyone is eager to play afterall. I'm not 100% sure how servers work for MMO games..

I'd rather them do this sort of stress testing now so that at launch we hopefully won't run into the "Can't communicate with the Duty finder server" error that was a pretty big issue yesterday. Now if they were having to do this during a time where we were all paying our subscriptions then that would be another story all together.

wouldn't mind this, if I had been able to play more than a couple hours this morning before all the errors started. since then I haven't been able to log in to any of my characters. nothing but no servers and 1017.

I have a linkshell set up for us refugees on Valefor.  Whisper the following for a pearl:

I think their post was more directed at people who're acting like it's the end of MMOs as we know it. People have a right to be a little frustrated and upset, but they should also be aware that this is very typical of an MMO launch. It's gunna happen, it's happened before and it won't even be the last time. To be honest, most head starts are just a tricky way of continuing beta with the live severs. It's a final check before launch more than anything.

So in short, everyone needs to simmer down. It's all going to beeeee okaaaaay.

No I want to rage in here.  It won't be okay damn it!

I don't understand why people post like this in a topic meant to help people just vent.  Makes no sense.

*sighs*

Aaaanyway, I've still been getting the "can't connect to NA/EU servers" all day.   So husband been playing Saint's Row 4 and I've been checking forums and watching tv mainly.

Hoping it's better tomorrow.

Was anyone able to get on to Balmung after the 1017 error? I am not sure if I should keep trying or just assume I will keep getting the error.

Yesterday it was letting me queue for a few minutes and then I could get on.

"Okay, time to log in!"



"What do you mean you can't find the NA/EU Server List?"



"I said log in!"



"Maybe if I reboot...?"



"Still?! Are you kidding me?"



"Maybe I'll go do something else for a bit..."



<PORN BREAK>



"Let's try... OOOH! I got to the character select screen!"



"I'm logging in! I'M LOGGING IN!!"



"WHAT?! ERROR 1017?! %$@#!!"

Bahaha! You just made my day, Isilme.

Hah, wow. You made me smile a good one there, those expressions are perfect. I needed this after all that frustration

Hey, Isilme is right! Porn Break! THAT is what I need now!

Come on game, let me in! I want to meet with that cutie Kann-e-Senna!

Isilme that was just beautiful and it brought a smile to my face, even though I am waiting on general release and not struggling with the current problems its great to know not everyone is letting it get them down!.

I sincerely wish I had better news, but this is what has come across twitter in the last few minutes:

Quote:Login Limitation After Emergency Maintenance (Aug. 25): Follow-up 2

Quote:As we previously announced, we are continuing to limit the number of logins following the emergency maintenance on Aug. 25, 2013 from 15:30 to 16:30. We are slowly lifting the login restriction to prepare for the upcoming user influx that we expect during peak hours. If you are currently unable to login, please try again at a later time.

Again, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience that this is causing everyone, but we would like to ask for your continued cooperation to make this a stable environment.

And then this:

Quote:We have confirmed that the issues on the North American/European data center Worlds have resurfaced. Therefore, we have placed a severe login restriction in order to stabilize the servers. 

While you may continue to have a difficult time logging into the game, please note that the issue is being addressed, and new updates will follow as additional information becomes available.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that this is causing everyone for an extended period, but we would like to ask for your continued cooperation to make this a stable environment.

So it appears that most of us aren't going to be able to get in.

New follow-up just posted, this suggests to me that 90% of the issues they're having right now are due to congestion. Too many people all trying to login at the same time, all clogging up the same zones at the same time, all trying to do the same quests and dungeons at the same time.

I'm not sure they'll honestly be able to fix this unless they actually upgrade the hardware on their servers, which could take quite a bit of time in and of itself. These issues will more then likely all go away after a day or two once the server population stabilizes.
