Help a noob out >_>

[Aisu]

I know ill be getting some sort of flame for this, but I am just registering for Ffxi, and i keep getting the error UCS-60257, that my information was wrong of the server is busy.

After trolling the interwebs, i decided that ia may be because of maintenance to the registration servers. I'm pretty sure i've done everything correctly.

In short: Are the servers off, or is there some sort of easy answer to whatever's wrong?

Could be you're taking too long to enter the information, it can time out if you take too long.

Hum. How long would be too long.. I dont think it's been an abnormal amount of time, I'll go attempt again, anything else that could be wrong?

Edit: I'm getting the error UCS-5004 now, it's just saying the server is busy.

There's been a lot of updates, and usually around payday (for SE) there's a ton of registration server maintenance that is done. I would say wait another day or so before trying to create an account.

Just a little insight on how I finally got mine working... It ended up being the card, I used a mastercard all of the times that failed. I pressed the "back" button after the error mentioned above, and entered the information on a different card (a visa), and was not prompted to go through securecode or whatever. Worked like a charm, hope this helps...
