Adding more servers won't solve the problem. The servers are fine, the issue is with the Duty server being overloaded.
Huh? Many NA servers are packed, which is why there are "queues" and noone can get in the game.
About 6 friends are still locked out of Leviathan. They need to figure out this server capacity stuff soon. It's quite annoying.
Guys, this is a "known issues" thread in the official news/info forum. Unless you have some official information about game status (maintenance or otherwise) to give that isn't already known, please use these threads:

And let's keep it civil.
Sirrah I am always civil. Look, I made all these mint juleps in my tub.
Maint. from last night seemed to fix all my connection issues. Daresay the problem is fixed for normal launch?
I was able to log in just now with a seven person queue.
Its safe to assume that most of their new install base has access to the game. Not sure how significant of a difference launch day will make.
Launch day for MMOs start when early access starts.
Error 1017 continues. Of course it's just SE throttling the login rates, but I'd really like to play the game now.
EDIT: Not surprising considering I went to an EU server and everyone is coming back from work and shit.
Got in for the first time since Friday night before the midnight maintenance.
:/ Is it a known issue that if you disconnect at any point in time while downloading the game it will not save anything to your PC and you are forced to start over from square one? Dc'd at 5.8 gigs downloaded lastnight and now I get to redownload the whole thing, huzzah.
Don't people who bought the original FFXIV 2/3 years ago get a free copy of 2.0? I downloaded the installer and logged in, but it's still asking for a registration code. And the squaresoft account login also does the same when I try to register there. Am I going to have to buy another copy of FFXIV to play it? D:
Edit: Nevermind. It was only 30 dollars to get a new copy anyway so I just bought it instead of fucking around with account support.
