    Yea that doesn't make sense either. I would think SE has more resources than a small time company like say En Masse or even Trion. The troubling thing to me is it doesn't seem like there were any contingency plans in casesomethinglike this happened. Their first clue should of been open beta...

    You're going to run into two viewpoints when it comes to this game. For those that are able to play consistently and not run into this login issues (most likely due to logging in very early and then basically going afk at some point since the game has no inactivity boot) they'll say the game is...

    Confirmed nobody in NA is fucking working today, at least not with their chat support. Waiting 2 hours, got to end of the queue, no agents available. Just for the hell of it I did follow your steps here and it gives me a chat support link. So they are basically letting you think they are...

    Considering this is a widespread issue not just affecting EU, you would think it would be in SE's best interest to get this shit fixed by having everyone on call. ETA: I think you're right about it not being open, I'm just bouncing between 15 and 14 now. What a joke.

    The macro works but it is not perfect. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes, sometimes it takes an hour. Plus you said yourself you are basically exploiting the afk system in order not to constantly deal with logging in. There are two servers with rerolled guilds, Gilgamesh is a lost cause when it...

    I've been in here for at least the last 10 mins and it's only moved from 25 to 23 so I'm thinking this is just the line for when it opens. Then again I'm using logic...

    Yea, currently sitting 23, we'll see if I get bounced or not.

    In my case the damage was already done since I put the code in before that message ever showed up. Obviously a whole lot of other people did, from that message: We have received reports from players who, although they wished to continue playing the game post-launch with characters created...

    Not sure what you're talking about, I never went to Mog Station to to enter my pre-order code for EA. The first time I went to Mog Station was when I got my two codes from GMG the day before launch (the 26th).

    Where the hell was that message because I ( and obviously a whole lot of others) didn't see it. SE's fuckup was mislabeling the buttons (add platform?) and the having the add service button right under the early access account. The email I got from GMG never clears this up btw, just says to...

    It may not be the worst, but it's certainly top 5. Lets run off the laundry list of issues, which really have been going on since open beta: Instance server issues (fixed) 1017 Errors Locking character creation on servers Misapplied registration numbers to wrong (new) service accounts...

    Since they probably cancelled my ticket, I'm just considering creating a new character on the new account and saying fuck it. I'd lose the two characters I made, the pre-release items (didn't need em though) and like 4 days off the account.

    I've never seen a company do everything in it's power to prevent you from playing it's game. It's really unprecedented.

    The fact that there is a shitton of people who have this issue by simply trying to use common sense out of the backwards ass system speaks volumes.

    Yea I got booted from chat too. It's like they all said 'fuck this shit' and shut down chat support. TBH, the game is nice and fun, but it is not worth all this bullshit. It's soured the whole game, from 1017 errors, to character locking to now this accounting crap. It feels like a waste...

    Their support (all 2 of them) must of had a bathroom break. I've went from 339 to 262 in at hour so at this rate I'm looking at 4.5 hours. lol

    Check the autohotkey script thread in the afterbirth forum. That's the only way I can get in now and it still takes at least 10 minutes around 7PM EST.

    Couldn't do it right away due to being in a meeting. Currently sitting at #339. So I doubt I'll get in before I leave, probably got to get back in chat when I get home.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yup, I'm in the same boat. I'm basically screwed out of playing the game because the 'beta/EA' account is now inactive (the one with both Vandyn and Kirana) while the 'wrong' account continues to count days (currently now at 26 days left). There is no way I'm making a new character in the...

    This is probably close to what is actually going on, although it still doesn't explain why only certain servers have character creation locked. I think it's a combo if both, the duty server cannot handle the strain hence the 1017 error to limit load but some servers (gilg) probably are already...

    If that is accurate, that's over a million characters created, which I'm pretty sure would surpass Rift and probably most everything else this side of WoW and probably TOR.

    After filling out that form for doing the exact same thing, I finally got an email from SE saying they received my support ticket. I have this fear that the pre-release account (along with my characters) is going to expire and then I won't have access to them until SE does the merge. I blame...

    No better shows have ever existed than Seinfeld or X-files.

    I agree about Seinfeld, but I think if Boardwalk beats X-Files, doesn't Sopranos beat Boardwalk? Never watched the Wire so I can't compare and while I think Breaking Bad is good, I don't think it's better (as a whole) than Sopranos.

    As of last night there was no FC on marboro yet as I don't think anyone is 25 yet. We do have a link shell though. Myself (kirana), grumble, Ut, Kreugen and a few others can invite.

    Well, I made a rerolled LS, how do you invite into it now?

    Also made a new character on Marlboro. Kirana, starting with Archer.

    Between all this back and forth going on for the last 5 pages, I just want to know... Are the hard caps still in place for login? World full errors? Are people getting in the game this morning/afternoon better than yesterday? ETA: In my opinion the game is live. Whether it's early...

    So I'm checking to see if they had any updates concerning the clusterfuck of login issues and of course there is nothing, just an update that GM support is down. It's not going to be pretty tomorrow. Check that, found this: An Apology to Our Players Using NA/EU Data Centers On behalf...

    Done for the night. Played a little over an hour and once your in game, it's smooth like butter. Was actually able to log out via inn. Hopefully this shit is worked out by the time I'm off work tomorrow, but I doubt it.
