  ^ Except everyone is getting a "The world is full" 1017 message.

  
  
  I was getting that before but that's because they shut down the queue to make it more stable lol

  Log on either early morning or late night. Make sure you keep the client on and don't alt tab when you're loading areas.

  Here's a good group mob control rotation for gladiators.
  
  Either use
  
  flash > fast blade > riot blade
  
  Or
  
  Fast blade > flash > riot blade
  
  It allows you to maintain a very long use of aoe aggro generation with blind debuff. Second combo is possible since the combo time is a little over five seconds.
  
  Make sure you're always attacking the mob that everyone else is focused on.

  Servers should be prepared for this load though... isn't official launch tomorrow?
  
  It's going to be worse. I'd like to sleep at night/morning.

  Yeah, the music is pretty great. Makes me mad knowing some people are on right now and I constantly have to check for openings though...

  [NA]Regarding Congestion in Japan Data Center Worlds (Aug. 27)
  Thank you very much for playing FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.
  
  Currently, an extremely high number of players are enjoying the game. Should the number of players continue to increase at the current pace, there is the possibility that our expectations and server capacity will be greatly surpassed. Therefore, in order to maintain a stable gameplay environment, we are implementing login and character creation restrictions.
  
  In order to be able to welcome a drastically greater number of players, we are starting as early as this week with preparations to increase our facilities, to be ready by early next week. Until that time, we will be continuing to implement these restrictions as required, and we ask for your understanding and patience.
  
  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and once again thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

  I'm not sure if I should be posting here or in the expectations thread. They're basically the same thing now and everyone views both of them.
  
  I preordered this and will probably be starting around Friday on the same server you guys are on. No idea what my name will be yet. I'm not waiting on the download but rather on some other stuff.
  
  It's a good thing I'm nocturnal because the queue is apparently horrible. Now imagine it the first weekend after the game opens.
• Mentosftw wrote on 2013-08-28 00:44
  Hopefully you'll be able to even CREATE a character here.
  
  My friend had a beta character in our server and now he can't get in because it got deleted so he's starting anew in a different server and doing a world transfer later when they're out.
