This happened to me as well. I finally got logged in - was all excited! Did one FATE, then immediately disconnected, lol. A friend of mine also disconnected at the same time as me. x_x

In whichever nation you went to last, the guy you talked to to finish it has another quest for you.
After I officially joined a free company, a NPC offered me a quest to "save" up GC points and buy a chocobo. The quest reward was a whistle I think. I didn't get to see how that plays out because I got booted from the game and haven't been on since...so I don't know what happens next.
Edit.. got beat by 15 ppl.. that's what I get for posting from my phone
Yep, you can try and win the lottery if you have the patience to withstand the frustration.
Excalibur? I'm getting 1016'ed too.
Me and someone else from excal got booted and now getting 1016 "World Data could not be Found" errors too.

Ultros is full, anyone know how long the wait is?
This is Hyperbole I hope. The first two expansions in WoW were so much worse than this has been, and those problems persisted for a week almost.

This will be absolutely unacceptable once the 27th rolls around. At that point you have paying consumers not getting the service they are paying for. Some big sites are live-streaming tomorrow too. They don't have much time...
Also can someone invite me into the GAF linkshell/guild/free company whatever it's called?

How do I access the Ifrit quest then? Is there a level requirement to start the quest?

Same thing here.
Well, they will have paid for the game, although nobody will actually be paying for the service (or rather, they won't have to) until two weeks in at the earliest. New people get 30 days free, 1.0 owners get 2 weeks free.
I could log on and play for those. I can't even get past the character screen here.

*cries* I was sooooo close. The level was loading and then it booted me. My RESTING BONUS!!!!!
He's part of the story questline.

There's the problem. I went right back home when I was done. Thanks.
This. I could log on when WoW first launched as well. Of course, I was zooming around the maps crouched in a looting position. Can't forget going to thousand needles race track, and actually having a race with other players all stuck like that before the server poofed.
TBC was bad, but yeah, you could at least log in, like Vanilla(vanilla did have a few times where the game would go down, once for 48 hours if memory serves, but that wasn't til a few weeks in).
I'm not exactly.....enthused by this. It's good they have this many players though I guess, just bad that this is considered to be a "pre-order" bonus. I don't find fighting a game system to play "fun" though.
From What I've read some of WoW's problems were there for longer than a month.
You have a high level of tolerance, or you're looking at FFXIV threw some rose-tinted glasses to say that WoW's release (even the xpacs) were "so much worse than this". There is really no need to compare....bad launch is bad. Admit it.

Pretty much every major patch in Vanilla and BC had the servers going down for 48+ hours. TBC varied by server, with the original 13 being down for almost 3 days. Rose coloured glasses in this thread.
Opening week for MMO's are always like this, why do you people act surprised.
My high tolerance was forged because of WoW. Does it suck that servers are down? Hell yes. Is this expected? You bet.
Heh, should start happening during the next two hours, its only 10PM on the east coast after all. Eventually it should reach a tipping point when people can start getting in though.

Has anyone been able to get in after a 90k and still got into an instance?
Expected? I doubt you, or anyone, expected this level of server / game instability, given that this is the RE-launch of FFXIV, something one would expect SE to not want to mess up (like they are doing ever so gloriously).

If they had a better queuing system, I think people would be complaining a little less. I wouldn't care if I had to sit in a 1000+ person queue as long as I could hit the button and go watch tv and wait. What we have to do now is spam the login buttons (which can't be good for the servers). I don't understand why they have such a low limit on queues in general. *shrug*

this head start period is effectively pointless as the entire day has been one big error or world full message
To be fair, the FFXIV 1.0 mess-up was several orders of magnitude worse than this. During 1.0, the game was playable, but it was hot garbage.
I'm not trying to defend the game or anything but I honestly got more playing time than I expected this weekend. Launch is going to be a whole other beast though and its probably going to horrible.
