I'm really glad I didn't get up before, but now my update is perpetually 12 minutes remaining.

Got a 9000 error trying to get into Ul'dah, then couldn't connect to NA/EU list, now getting a 1017 error, telling me the world is full, THEN PUT ME INTO A QUE!

Thanks SE... glad you learned your lesson from your previous abomination, using stitches instead of tape.

Yah, they're not fixing shit. What happens is enough people get frustrated and just do other things, so for the first little while after the downtime, stuff is working only because it's not crowded.

As soon as people start logging back in to play the game, shit breaks.

Good luck making a character here if you didn't already. I heard every single server is locked right now.

No new customers can play your game at all now? I hope for SE's sake they realise the trouble they're in.

Should the server capacity problem be fixed with the maintenance today? My gf is wanting to get started but can't create on Hyperion.

They are increasing the capacity to allow more players to be logged in at the same time. I'm worried the problem will return though, because a bunch of people are going to continue creating characters on our server and it might blow up again. We have a very high population compared to others (besides Gilgamesh which is even worse).

They are offering server transfers this month, although I don't know all the details. We have to hope a few guilds decide to jump ship.

Will the server transfers be offered to everyone?

I'm not sure how the server transfers will work, they will release those details after the update. A lot is still up in the air.

This should fix the problem for everybody trying to create characters and play again. It will be nice to not have to stay logged in 24/7 to avoid 1017 lol. That will fix the problem too. People will start logging out when they are finished playing.

Even if we reach capacity, or whatever, if they can fix 90k, and get rid of 1017, so that we login once, pick our character, and then get set in a queue. Then we can go off, make our sandwich, send the browns to the superbowl, or whatever, and come back and be logged in.

Ideally we will have perfectly playable servers, but I'd really just like to not get kicked out and deal with spamming 0.

I'm pretty confident the 1017 will be gone tomorrow.

90k error might still happen, but you should be able to log right back in!

Don't forget, when the game first started, we didn't have log in problems, we had duty finder problems.

The game server itself was happy to let everybody log in at once and the game still ran pretty lag free, but the duty finder crippled under the load, so nobody could enter instances and stuff.

SE added the login restrictions to reduce the number of people logging in and playing the game, but it wasn't because of the game servers not being able to take the load, it was because the duty finder (which all instances rely upon) can't handle all the people. The duty finder that handles our instances is shared between all 30 servers, and it can't handle 30 servers worth of people.

Although they're adding servers, this maintenance isn't to beef up our servers (I.e. Hyperion). This maintenance is to install EXTRA duty finder servers. The servers will then be cordoned off to specific duty finders, halving (or more) their load.

Right now there are two duty finder servers, one for all 30 JP servers, and one for all 30 NA/EU servers. After the maintenance, there will likely be 2 (or more) per group, and servers will be split between them.

This means that our server may be connected to Duty Finder A, and some other servers will be connected to Duty Finder B. People queuing on these two servers will never play together, just like right now people queuing on "Group JP" will never play with people on "Group NA/EU".

It sucks a little, but if the number of people playing the game is really so great, it won't really matter.

So would duty finder throw you together in a group with anyone on NA/EU servers?

I wonder if it'd be possible for them to have an NPC or start point for instances so that you only use duty finder when you need to find duty, instead of when you roll with a group.
