Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

just had a 90002 in the middle of the city and back into a 100 person queue. They need to fix their shit!

It would be ridiculous if they tried it during prime time, since that's when the most people are playing. This time in particular gets rid of most people who are afk, at the price of having to wait in a queue as people are funneled back in. 1600 queue took 20 minutes instead of two hours. So yes, it did 'fix' something, even if this is a temporary measure.

so as a dps, you stop queueing 1 hour before the kick. wait 10 minutes through the kick, wait 20 minutes to get back on, and then wait another 45 minutes to get into a dungeon. Total time lost: 2 hours 15 min.

Got put into a 2.5k queue when literally minutes before the force log off it was a 20 person, 2 minute queue. Been waiting 20 minutes now (to drop 200) only for the lobby server to crash and put me at the end of the queue.

Need I mention again that I had a 2 minute queue before this?

Well here is a good question. Did this "maintenance" reset hunts?

Said servers were undergoing maintenance... maybe?

IF the hunts did reset, how will you ever get the hunts that spawn past 24 hours to come up if they reset the servers every day?

After the servers came back online, it took me 20 mins to move through a 2400 queue on Balmung. That's a vast improvement over the 4+ hours that size of a queue normally takes to move through.

Edit: Now that the initial login rush is gone the queue is down to 15 people. Usually at this time of the day it is well over a thousand on Balmung. I also don't have to make 50+ attempts to enter a housing instance either, which is nice. It definitely seems to have helped for now. That won't last if people start loitering online while AFK again, though (which some are already doing).

A FC mate was at 2.1k - took 20 minutes to get in. Before this, a (very rough) estimate was an hour per thousand - so if that continues, that's good. The size of the queue isn't so much an issue as long as it's moving at a decent pace.

Looks like the answer is no it didn't.
