Does anyone have any lock down updates actually? Has SE said anything more about them?

This came from their twitter:

In order to prevent server outages due to login and world congestion, we are currently closely monitoring server loads and making adjustments to both character creation and login limits as needed.

As we approach the peak North American play hours, the North American and European servers listed below in will have their login restrictions adjusted with particular scrutiny in order to ensure a pleasant play experience for all players.

As we continue to monitor the situation, we will be allowing players to log in sequentially. This will unfortunately have the effect of causing wait times for logins to these worlds, but this is a necessary step for the sake of server stability, and we ask for your understanding and patience during this time.

Additionally, character creation restrictions are currently in place for the following worlds:

Behemoth 
Sargatanas 
Diabolos 
Gilgamesh 
Leviathan 
Balmung 
Excalibur 
Hyperion 
Tonberry 
Mandragora 
Bahamut 
Chocobo

In the event of any changes in the situation, follow-up news posts will be posted here as well.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and once again thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

You are definitely going out on a limb lol. 

On the plus side, I was able to play for 2hours before school today and encountered no errors and didn't hear of anymore errors from my FC mates.

Creation restrictions...no Gilgamesh for me tonight.
Time to work on the biography.

That's what I wound up doing during last night's lockouts. What shall I do tonight?

I have a cache of whiskey to imbibe. You may join me on journeying to the land of inebriation.
Rumour has it everything feels immeasurably better with a shot of spirits.

Hmmmm let's all just hope things get better eventually...

"Thank you very much for playing FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

Currently, an extremely high number of players are enjoying the game. Should the number of players continue to increase at the current pace, there is the possibility that our expectations and server capacity will be greatly surpassed. Therefore, in order to maintain a stable gameplay environment, we are implementing login and character creation restrictions.

In order to be able to welcome a drastically greater number of players, we are starting as early as this week with preparations to increase our facilities, to be ready by early next week. Until that time, we will be continuing to implement these restrictions as required, and we ask for your understanding and patience.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and once again thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter."



FUCKING 4 DAYS TO GET THIS IDEA!?

This should have been done last week, when there were issues during P4...

Woooooh! Another day with my dear old friend error 1017! *sigh* What time do I have to get up to actually get logged into this game, I wonder? Apparently 1pm EST is too late in the day, and if the last time this happened is any indication then I should just forget about trying to log-in while the sun is up for the day.

I feel like they should have prepared for people to play their game. At my job, someone would get fired for this kind of failure. People rad reviews and this is going to prevent other people from playing. Hearing I won't be able to log in and play makes me consider it already. Everyone with a job is going to be stuck in the login queue.

Problem is there is no login queue to be stuck in, you just get a message informing you that the server is full with no indication of when you'll be able to play and your only option is to sporadically try to log in in the vain hope you'll get to play.
