8am EST on a Monday morning-- Server is full

Yeah I'm a third shifter, so I'm up at ungodly hours. When I played last night (approx 12am-10:30am) for every one person I saw out and playing the game, there were literally twenty others idling in sanctuaries and cities. It was infuriating.

And you know what I did when I was done? I turned my computer the hell off. I knew that I wouldn't be able to play for another 24 hours, and while I could've kept my PC running the game all night, I couldn't do it in good conscience after seeing all those afkers.

Apparently someone is logged into the game on my account and it isnt me.....

It doesn't matter that its a Holiday. Its 9am and the servers are FULL OF AFK's!

Go to any Sanctuary and there will be 30-60 AFK's standing at the crystal, Not counting Inn Rooms and people just going afk in random spots the servers at all times probably have nearly 1500+ people AFK.

This really needs to stop. This game is awesome and I love playing it, but logging in hitting Num0 for hours or if the login server is dead like it was this weekend, is just as bad.

The Devs stating that the server upgrades are more important, and yes I agree its important, but ignoring this problem (And the community has made it a major problem) has made it worse, because there is no longer any fear of going afk out in the open for all to see because it has been stated its perfectly fine by the devs has to stop.

I hate it, But I know once I finally get in this morning, Ill also do it because trying to login for hours because everyone is afk is better than doing it AGAIN for hours.

FIX IT. AFK has now become a game mechanic.

this is like diablo 3 all over again. at least they had people answering players back. not just some thread that u cant even reply onto. where the eff are the mods? -___-

Well at least my lobby works now, too bad I'm already getting 1017 errors. Really wish the game hadn't kicked me out for no reason after 10 minutes, since now I won't get to play at all today.

Zem that doesn't make it right. For you to just go AFK. I think SE should have a program that kicks someone out of the game after 20 mins. Yesterday while I was playing I saw tons of people hiding in cracks between rocks, just hanging out the towns central crystal and also in sanctuaries just not moving. Then when I would come back to that locations after just exploring the same players would be standing in the same position and location. Now today I work in about 1 hr and I come back mid evening. I am hoping I can play when I get home.

That's my point though. SE has now made afk part of the game mechanics by saying "It's Okay because the real problem is the servers". It's a Lazy Excuse and made it justified for everyone to do it OPENLY. I hate the fact that people afk for more than 30min, and its why I replied here (I know no less than 60 people are AFK in Quarrymill on Behemoth), But im still trying to get in after 2+ hours, Do you think im honestly going to logout because I need to go afk at this point when this launch has been so bad and take HOURS to log back in if at all? No, And you wouldn't either, And thats my point why AFK is now a game mechanic. There is no way im logging when there is probably a 90% chance it will take me no less than 3 hours or NOT AT ALL to get back online for a game that should have a QUEUE system and BOOT AFK's. But its Open Season now that they have clearly stated its not an issue.

I love this game BUT, they have done a HORRIBLE Launch job, Pre Order numbers were through the roof, THEY KNEW the numbers they were going to get and still chose to IGNORE it. Im not going to suffer because of this incompetence on their part, It all could have been prevented. This weekend has been the worst with the Lobby Server dying with No updates on fixes other than them saying multiple times "We have successfully repaired the issue" when that was never true, If it was I wouldn't be getting Error 2002 every time I loaded the client right now

Nothing is Right, It needs to be addressed right now, The servers should come down for a patch for this afk issue, but its NOT going to happen, they have clearly stated that. Until the free month is up and half the people are no longer playing will we finally a huge break, but until then sadly its Open Season. I hate it, but its fact.

What is the shoe is on the other foot. I bet you wouldn't like it if you wanted to play and you couldn't get in because of the AFKer's. If other people do and can log in and not go AFK so can you. Just because SE is having problems with the servers doesn't make it right for you and others to go AFK.

cant even login now, this is so bs it kicked me for no reason, kick the afkers!
