Update: 24/11 Registration Server Emergency Maintenance

[Khalil]

I know everyone wants to get in the new content and stuff, but really, why would you waste your time doing this? Just wait a day or two, it's not the end of the world.

Honestly, after my first try, I gave up and decided to play other things. If SE can't predict shit like this, then...

[Popeh]

I'm now starring at my screen in disbelief that I still can't get in.

Thank fuck SE did not pioneer the way for online gaming. Holy fuck we'd still be trying tetris online.

My honest reason for being pissed - 2 reasons:
-I worked overtime yesterday to finish work early today for this shit.
-Our LS events which take up most of my free time are currently on hold for this week only, so come a few days i'm not going to have time to really do much.

I understand that, a lot of people are in a similar situation. I'm also upset at SE's continual lack of effort or the apperance of such, at getting their shit together for things like this. But really, I, and I assume everyone here, can find a better way to spend their time than the equivalent of hitting F5 for hours on end.

Chalk up a couple of days of missing out on a very small portion of new content and move on. Getting pissed won't change anything but I guess people got to vent too.

[Midnightjade]

Got to say, the release of this thing has been a disaster - lousy distribution, plus they can't even allocate the right resources to the reg server.

Very amateurish imho.

[Pun]

I wouldn't be mad at the registration issue if I also didn't have to wait so long to get the damn expansion itself. Five minutes of installation, and 6 hours of trying to register - what a ratio.

[Sigi]

You'd think that instead of waiting AFTER the expansion goes live to bump server capacity, they'd do the intelligent thing and prep... wait. Nevermind, this IS the Land of Wut.

[shukuffxi]

I don't know if this affects people with POL-0011, since I only ever got POL-0033 but I just got reg'd, this is how:

My friend logged on and said he reg'd his no problem (He lives in California, I live in Montreal), so I gave him my info and asked if he could try to register it. Logged in, and 1 minute later I was registered.

I know alot of Canadians are only getting their shipments on Monday, perhaps SE knows this and is cock blocking us? >_> It definetly seems region based in the case of POL-0033.

Gonna post this in the Advanced thread too, to reach more people, just in case.

[Agrona]

I was getting POL-0011 for over an hour of spamming, my friend tries it for me, bingo. Took him 1 try. If you have trusted friends that got the expansion, you may want to give this a try.

[Zinnashin]

Gotta love SE haters.

Once this is fixed you guys will go right back to sucking their dicks =\

Why not just cut out the middle man and wait a few days?

Clearly you know absolutely nothing about this forum or it's users.

Other than being complete assholes?

I could careless

[Popeh]

Then get the hell out of here.

The amount of people that apparently hate it here but can't help themselves is unbelievable.

A non-contributor suddenly posting to bitch about the people he's spending his time reading; I think you're the asshole.

[sekaran]

Spammed for 5min and got in.. woot!

[lorcas]

I think it's time for that toilet analogy...

You take a big crap and flush. The toilet is jammed. What do you do? Well let's flush again maybe it'll work this time. Nope still not working, littles chunks of shit are comming hugging you feet. Well, flush again maybe it'll work now. Nope.... Flush! Flush! FLUSH!

Not a perfect analogy, but I hope you get the picture.

[Popeh]

I don't even wanna know what I flushed.

Over the course of 10 hours i'm still trying to get into the start of registration.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blackmagik]

Does the Red Screen mean i gotta turn back? or i progressed to the next step?

[Egon]

6 hours later

Is there a difference between POL-0011 and POL-0033? Because I keep getting POL-0033... And so does my boyfriend who's sitting next to me. ; ; I got the furthest of the two, first I got to the screen where you get to choose which expansion you are registering for FOUR times, and then once I successfully got to enter my registration code...but then I kept getting POL-0033 after that for another 30 minutes. Then I gave up. Is there a way to get past POL-0033? Or should I just wait until later.. like tomorrow? >_<

[Quendi]

I've been trying for 4 hours myself, as well as my girlfriend. We live in Texas, and our friend who lives in the LA area registered without a problem... so we gave him our info, and he registered us both w/in 15 minutes or so. I couldn't get through one screen in 4 hours, and he was able to register 3 accounts easily. Just throwing this out there.
