The login system just seems badly coded. There is a queue, so why does it matter if the world is full when I select a character, it should dump me in the queue, the queue should be checking world status. If 1017 is really because of full queues, then the error should honestly reflect that.
Furthermore, why do I sometimes reach the loading screen before a 1017?
It will be interesting and rage-inducing if these problems persist after the new servers are online.
Little guy looks boss in that Dragoon armor! Once I get my Roegadyn to 50 (it’ll probably take me months lol) I’m going to make a Lalafell, they’re too cool to pass up.
I got to play about 10 minutes today. Nothing but errors about the NA/EU servers not populating. Then, when I finally got in, I got kicked on a load screen trying to enter Ul’dah.
I’m still at the beginning of the game, but it’s been pretty fun so far.
I’m glad to read that SE going to give everyone an extra week to make up for all of these errors. Hopefully, after Wednesday things will cool down. Personally, I don’t care whether they increase capacity or just add more worlds. I’m not heavily invested in my current server. I picked it because it was the only one taking new characters at the time. So, I’m more than willing to switch to a new server, if it means no more errors and having to turbo button my way into the game.
