I guess I ahve to be an ass as well until they fix this. No more loggin out when I am done playing and if this sint fixed, I will cancel my subscription until it is. They don't need my money until they deliver on service.

Exactly. Totally agree.

"Quit being stupid. If you aren't going to actually play then you have no reason to be in the game.
15 minutes is more than enough time for an AFK kick timer. If you get kicked and still want to play then you can log back in. In the meantime it will fix the congestion issues and allow everybody to actually play the game."

This is stupid. Only reason people are stayin logged in is to avoid havin to go through the trouble of getting back in again. I've had to spend hours trying to get logged on so when I finally get in after those HOURS I spent trying to get in, I'll be damned if I'm logging the hell out. There shouldn't be a afk timer because later on the people that whined & bitched about it will be the same damn people whining & bitching for it to be gone. SE just needs to get new servers etc to remedy the situation. People will be more inclined to log the hell out if they know they won't be having anymore issues trying to get back in later. THAT's the issue.

people can hate me but im not login out when I get in next time, the game is online there should but room for 1mil players.

I am for kicking the afk'ers. It's extremely frustrating getting the world is full message and EVEN MORE SO when I come into every town and city has people just standing there...

By staying logged in, you are contributing to the problem.

1. More players AFK means less spots for active players.
2. Less active spots means more players get 1017.
3. More players getting 1017, means even more players stressing the login system by repeated logins.
4. Stressed login system means some players can't either login or even view their characters.

My valuable playtime is as equally valuable as yours. I don't see why my time is any less important than any one elses (let alone more important). Be respectful and humble and logoff when your done :)

This needs to be a thing already!

More then 1/2 of my old FC never logout and they rubber band a control in their Inn room...so a better work around will be needed....

You're wasting your breath on raged people looking to blame somebody, and maybe they should be blaming someone... like SE, for not having the servers capable of holding it's player base.

This all just goes to show how stupid humans get when they form an angry mob against things they don't understand.

I logged off and was unable to log back in for the rest of the night -_-

Today, Im trying to log in for... 2 hours 51 minutes so far...
