Seems like the recipe is:
1) Wait for inevitable server maintenance to boot the afkers
2) Spam login servers
3) Profit!

Acknowledging that I know nothing about servers or server architecture, how bad do things have to be that THIS is the best patchwork solution you can come up with?

Couldn't keep up with this thread. Skipped the last 15 pages. Looks like the servers are still jacked up. Just have to hammer them until I get in.

My way of dealing with 1017 errors: Download Autohotkey -->

Run it, right click tray icon --> edit script --> Paste this:

BreakLoop=0
SetTimer, Loop, 1

F1::BreakLoop=1
F2::BreakLoop=0

Loop:
Loop {
if (BreakLoop = 1) ; While the F1 key is being held down physically.
break

Click, left, 961, 840
Click, left, 961, 840
Sleep 3000
Click, left, 1512, 190
Click, left, 1512, 190
sleep 1000
Click, left, 904, 553
Click, left, 904, 553
sleep 1000
Click, left, 962, 597
Click, left, 962, 597
sleep 1000
}

Ctrl + S to save
Go to Main menu of FFXIV (Where you click start)
Right click tray icon --> Reload script

This is for 1920x1080 resolution borderless. If you run a different resolution you may have to change the x,y coordinates. Do this by opening AutoHotkey Spy and finding them. If your latency sucks adjust the sleep timers.

Edit: This chooses the 2nd character on that server as that's my main, adjust the second set of Clicks to move it to the first or whatever number. Press F1 to stop F2 to start again. Fixed script.

That's awesome man. I adjusted the second group from 190 to 130 and it gets the first character. Thanks!

And I got in within 20 seconds of using it lol

AutoIt anyone?

There are better ways of doing this, but this is good enough. Timings (and perhaps pixel location) may need adjusting depending on your rig. The key is to check for a black pixel before the 4th click (meaning 1017, as the screen goes black). If you just hit numpad 0 over and over, it'll kick you out of a queue as well.

The code to get your code was just for early access. No idea why they did it that way. But basically they allowed retailers to give you an 18 digit code that you could redeem with Square-Enix for a 20 digit early access code.

Then the retailers send you a separate 20 digit box code (normal or CE) that you input starting the 27th (which apparently works now, since it's 27th in Japan maybe?) for your actual game.
Thanks, that was actually the smoothest thing I've done since beta. Registered the code no problem, shows 30 day subscription. Now for the login game...

Need to crunch for a project anyway.

Rolled on Faerie because it looked to be a super gay name that not many people would pick. Have been able to get in every time, once there was a queue of 12 or something but it instantly let me in.

Have a shitton of work to do this week though so I may just sit back and let them sort it out, too.

I don't know if we have any official rerolled guild on Malboro, but if I figure out how or where and noone has done it yet I'll make it.
