I truly love FFXIV: ARR..... Its the best MMO I have played in a long time but......


No matter how good a MMO is the launch can either make or break the game.... look at Vanguard. Vanguard should be a major contender in the MMO market because of its huge open world, beautiful graphics and unmatched number of races and classes you can choose from. Vanguard was made by the original creator of EverQuest, had a huge fan base and lore to seal the deal. So why is Vanguard a ghost town even today when its free to play with very little restrictions? short answer..... because of its launch! Until now I have considered Vanguard the worst launch of a MMO ever. The game was very badly broken and almost unplayable. Was the game fixed later? Yes but the damage had already been done and people moved on to other games. Even with all the bugs that plagued Vanguard you could at least log into the game and try to play it.

Square has really dropped the ball with the launch of ARR! how can you not predict the amount of subs based on pre-orders? Even if this was totally unexpected how do you not have a working queue to let people wait in line to get into the server? Even today they have been unlocking servers allowing character creation without fixing the 1017 error.

Once you do get into the game it runs great and like I said I love the game heck I already have payed for 180 days subscription I just hope they start getting to work on these problems because I don't want to see another good MMO go the route of Vanguard.


OK thats the end of my 1017 endued rant..... continue smashing enter until you can rejoin Eorzea!

Dude I hear you. I am a busy guy and I had to work tonight from home tonight after my 8 at the office. I am waiting on another team and they aren't answering so I was hoping to play. But error after error. Sigh...

I won't get mad just yet since I really cannot put more than 5-6 hours mon-fri into gaming and I am at 2 hours so far. However, even with a patch and whatever they did the servers are still ****ing horrible to get into. I don't think it will go way of Vanguard... the game was broken for months... but it is rubbing me raw. I think we'll get free playtime or some free in-game item when it is all said and done.

It really works great until the time everyone one finishes work in the UK. From about 7am-5pm it works like it should with no mishaps. After that i just slows down to a crawl and i can't even chop tree's without having to wait for 5mins. :(

Damn fine game, terrible terrible server issues.

Majin don't play around! lol. But really, yeah I agree with all of this. The progress you've made is also impressive, considering the time the game has been available. Unfortunately I haven't had as much free time as I would liked lately, but I hope to make some more progress soon. Awesome screens, man.

yea it looks like they went way too conservative on the servers. I made one character and was finding my way around the first area for my Highlander Marauder this morning. Character name is Jurgen Stonefist. I'll be trying to get on Monday in the AM EST US.

lol :P

Anyone tried today? It's basically an identikit repeat of what happened last weekend. If this persists for another week then... well, I can't see it retaining a lot of the new playerbase. We'll see if the addition of more servers actually makes a difference, but i'm guessing not (untill people just give up anyway). Adding a proper queue system and expanding capacity needs to be done too.

Going to just hammer on with The Old Republic until Square Enix sort thier shit out. I'm sure they will of course, but these futile attempts at gaining access to a server are really starting to piss me off.

This personifies how I feel right now..



Instead of playing FFXIV, I've been playing games like Hammerwatch and Soul Sacrifice. Amazing games, and better than religiously re-loging like masterbating to fine defecation in a box (heh, jk). I really hope Square gives an extension because the server issues are ridiculous ever since I switched to Behemoth, by the time I finally get on the servers I've lost all drive to play or am exhausted, and have no drive to play the game extensively as I like. :/

By the way, if anyone does manage to catch me online, my S/N is Midi Pour, level 8 marauder.

Today I moved back into college, and was happily surprised that the internet is fast enough to let me play this game. You'd think that all colleges/universities have sufficient internet connections, but unfortunately that's not always the case.

When I was playing today I asked some people in my free company about the server issues. They said that there's going to be maintenance on Wednesday to remedy a lot of these problems. Until then, I'll play when I can and play Deadpool when I can't.

There was no auto kick in 1.0 either, but there it made sense. Not having it right now is just madness. Even if they take it out after a month or two (which I would actually like to see if it does get added), the servers are in dire need of it right now. There are that many of them in the towns that whenever I get on (not been on for two days btw), it takes literal minutes (almost 6 min is my record) for the game to load the NPCs for the quests. Insanity.

No auto kick in FFXI either. It's just a shame. People are being really selfish.

Man, I know this is THE very definition of First World Problems... But fuck.

Last week was incredibly stressful at work. Like, holy shit. If I weren't such a bald bastard, I'd be tearing my hair out kinda bad.

All I wanted to do, when I got home... Was log in, put my alchemy gear on my tiny cute midget person, and hit up the forests, collecting petals, and cutting down trees. THAT'S ALL I WANTED BRO.

Instead, I have to fight with error messages, non-existent queues and character lists that just won't fucking update. :|

And all I ever wanted, was to cute down trees and collect petals as a cute tiny little person. :|

motivation was the intent!

I know we have to deal with 1017, 90000, Unable to update the NA/EU Server list... But I haven't saw any of you guys online but like once at the most since Phase 4!!!!!

I don't know if you all jumped ship to create characters on Petes server, play at different times or are losing interest in the game. Regardless I have just been posting pics of my adventures for those of you that wanted the game but didn't bite and for those that's on the fence. Maybe you guys are not as crazy as me and don't spam the server nonstop until you can get logged in but unfortunately being persistent is the key to playing the game right now. You just have to spam the server as fast as you can over and over until you get past 1017. If your not keen on sitting there and spamming the server yourself you can try using a auto mouse clicker program and keep your fingers crossed that tonight's maintenance fixes the issues.

I've been playing the game pretty diligently, but haven't been able to get online for the most part. In fact, I wanted to play now but I think the game is offline. I'm also on Pete's server because I was transferred off Behemoth against my will. I hope to transfer back when there's a service implemented for that.
