Try the options team on 0800 800 030. The robot woman asks you why you are calling - just say contract & yes.

You will need to re-contract for a year though in order to get the upgrade to a traffic management free contract:/

I tried support and they were a bunch of retards. The tech support guy was clearly reading a script and had no clue what he was talking about. He had no understanding about the P2P throttling at all and outright refused to accept it was BT doing it.

Luckily though since I did that port-forwarding stuff that I found on the BT (or SE, forgot which) forums I haven't had any problems with it. If it does start to happen again though I'll have to look into that.

I had no luck getting port forwarding to work on my BT Homehub (it refused to save settings). However, turning off VOIP on the router seemed to fix my issues.

I just can't be bothered logging in sadly. With Aion 4.0 released last week, it added two new classes that are both awesome fun to play. The rifting/PvP for low levels has been none stop slaughter fun, doubt I'll go back to FF XIV

Yeah I'm really enjoying Rift right now as well ..sad that I ever left it as the guild is pretty dead (not completely) and very hard to rebuild a guild.

Am I supposed to be getting "login server encountered a problem" when sitting at the main menu :confused:

I've not had any trouble logging in recently. Usually throws me into a queue and I get in within a minute.

Spoke too soon

Its completely ****ed at the moment. It can't decide which server lists it can't find. My favourite bit is when I click 'Start' and it comes up with the 'World is full' error. Saves me the extra click

Did finally get in after about 10 minutes though.

NeoReloaded · 2 Sep 2013 at 17:09

It's not even loading the eu/us servers?! What the? No problems straight to this >.<

They've massively ballsed up the release TBH. Why they haven't put some sort of AFK timeout into the game is beyond me, once people (finally) get in, they won't log out as they have no guarantee of getting back in.

I've not played since Thursday - they decided to reset the password on my account due to "suspicious activity" - having forgotten my secret Q&A, I've spent the best part of 12 hours queuing for Live Chat, sent emails - nothing. The game itself is fantastic, but the entire back end is completely borked.

I'm really still enjoying it, I'm only 22 - Got a few others in the teens but I've enjoyed tanking all the dungeons and guild hests. The login issues are indeed annoying, i got disconnected recently so that's my gaming done, there's no way I'll get back in! Only time i've managed to log is like 0700Hrs.

On a side note had a look at Aion 4.0 as mentioned above, wow that does look good - Gunner looks fantastic!

Really been putting some hours into this game but I still suffer on my days off when these login issues happen.

I guess if I didn't enjoy this game so much I wouldn't be so frustrated about not being able to log in.

Apem · 2 Sep 2013 at 21:05

serious considering not bothering with this game takes a age to get on then when you do get on the lag I am getting makes the game unplayable

Afran · 2 Sep 2013 at 21:54

Yeah, login issues suck for those effected. I couldn't get in on the first day when I purchased until 1:30am, then logged off to come on the next day and not be able to get on for 6 hours; I've kept my pc turned on and stayed logged in since then, will remain doing so until Wednesday, which is when they're having a 10 hour maintenance to address server issues and add new servers

Brig · 2 Sep 2013 at 22:44

I haven't really had much trouble logging in. Maybe 15 minutes at most of trying. I found that once you get to the character select screen if you wait a half a minute or so before you click log in it seems to put you in the queue quicker.

Level 24 now, done the first 3 dungeons and the ifrit fight. Just got my chocobo mount today as well. Totally addicted now...

Hopefully after Wednesday the server issues will be fixed.

Any LS's left on moogle? Or am i all alone?

I think more & more people are doing this making it harder & harder to log. I'm not blaming you, I would probably do the same if I could but it's a crazy situation.

I registered my serial key yesterday and wish I hadn't, I don't have time to play this game properly and should have sold my copy until I do. Even after the launch weekend I found myself dying to get back only. Something I don't need going into final year. Until next time FF, you've been terrible lol

I'm part of a LS/FC with around 30 people on Moogle. Can shoot you an invite if you're interested? We're keeping up the "Heat of Battle" exp boost if that would help

Evilsod · 3 Sep 2013 at 12:12

I've seen that Heat of Battle boost. I thought it was 1 of those you bought from the Quartermasters for the grand company as a personal buff. Like the ones that buff gathering/crafting exp rate for a limited amount.

How do you get them/what does it do?

The Free Company Leader/Officer can buy it from the Free Company Quartermaster. I think they cost around 5k~ points. They're only active for 24H and active for everyone in the FC.

You can also only have one action up at once.

There are a whole load of other actions you can buy, such as 20% cheaper teleports, 5% exp gain to battle exp (this is heat of battle), 5% exp gain to gathering, 5% exp gain to tradecraft, cheaper repairs etc etc.

Oh of course I remember those now. I'll have to look into it tonight. Probably something to aim for at weekends.

had no idea about those... Thanks!!

Just need to find a FC on Cerberus now ^^

EDIT: and to qualify for successful login!
