That would be nice and retain your spot for 5minutes atleast if you are disconnected or get crashed

My husband laughed at me, and now I want to punch him. 2000+ queue get low dc now 2900 again. Oh error, now 4600 in queue. Was 800 away.



Really hard to defend this, they knew it was going to happen. So why can't we hold our queue spot for a few after a dc?

The semiconductor shortage has screwed them. Unfortunately gaming companies are low priority for semiconductors currently

You should be happy that your husband is right.
Would you really prefer him to be wrong all the time? o.O

A lot of this is that the Internet infrastructure itself is designed to PREVENT hundreds of thousands of people converging on a single data center all at once, because usually when that happens it's a DDoS attack.

The servers my office uses for our application can only handle about 10,000 connections before they choke and die because the VX Rails they're hosted on can't handle it any more. This always causes a problem when the student class sign up period hits, when you have 30,000 undergrads all trying to log in and confirm they got the classes they wanted. The only way to handle it there is to force limit them by class day by day - seniors, atheletes, and honor students go first, then juniors, then sophomores, and finally freshmen.

Square Enix doesn't have that option with XIV - how could they prioritize people fairly? So it's a free for all, and you have to wait until enough people get frustrated and quit to have your chance.

Currently 2393 in queue.

Sure, but them saving our spot in queue for like 5 mins in case you get dced is all I ask, queue for me is not the issue. Losing my spot is.

Can't really expect much from the country still rely most of communication on "fax"

Here's the thing... every MMO, every XPAC we have seen this. SE even announced there would be long queues and errors. They admit they wish they could have upgraded servers prior and had every intention to do so but the "thing" and chip shortage... eh...
