So after logging in to a queue of 6, I tried to enter my friends house with said friend. We both got the message "Due to server load, you where unable to leave this area, please try again later." I know the housing instances are just that, and not really in the lav bed area, but how is this possible during a slow time in the day? I was shocked to see it.
I do not understand how server is loaded when entering a house. (NA morning, 6 queue)

The problem is getting worse, I can't enter my friends house on what is supposed to be NA slow times to log in

It's because people are logging in going to their house to AFK all day

I do not care what the reason is (I know it is that), I am here reporting a problem I like to see addressed/ or at least commenting it is an issue by SE and working on something to fix it

Better start telling everyone on balmung to log out when they arent playing, even though they wont.

This happened during HW too. The queue will take 30 mins or less when they stop staying on when gone. Right now they are all afk in their homes to avoid shame. The number is big enough to lock everyone out of their houses.
During SB start, 4K queue took 30 mins to 1 hr. Now 1k takes 2-3 hrs. -

A lot of people are AFKing in Kugane/ Rhalgr's reach on bells too

The only solution is for SE to get serious about people blatantly abusing retainers to AFK and people reporting them.

I'm concerned about this actually. Dispite playing everyday if I can't enter my house how can I reset it? I tried for an hour yesterday and I log on today still can't get in :/ I understand I'm on Balmung I'm not complaining about queues or whatever but if I can't get in my house and it gets demolished SE will have Pariselle Savage on there hands :/

06-27-2017, 05:45 AMHamadaIf that is your concern, try entering NA prime hours, like starting at 2 PST, this is only an issue off prime hours because that is when you have the mass afk. Me and my friends always had some point in the day since SB to enter the house, it is just keeps getting harder and harder to enter NA morning.Quote:

I think the devs should turn off the housing servers on Balmung 1 time each day to clean up the area.

I can understand those ppl staying online because after getting home from work an wait 2-4HRs to get in an say good night an go to bed is really unfair,this is something that was able to be avoided but the company never close Balmung transfer because of those sweet delicious $$$$ transfer fee that lot of ppl did for many years, now they got no solution but to offer free transfer to the player..(not only balmung but other servers too)
its not ppls fault but a greedy company, they got databse/numbers this was very predictable since 2.0 how many ppl a server can hold an not be a max capacity 24/7.
for now all i can do is remote access 3 hrs before home an hope that if i log in i dont get kick an be able to enjoy what i like to do in my free time. -
06-28-2017, 02:00 AMTaranTatsuuchiI've been trying to report people I see that seem to be exploiting the game mechanics to avoid the afk kick...Quote:

Sent in a report, and they were offline shortly afterward.
At least, the GM's seem to be booting players that they're made aware of... -
06-28-2017, 02:17 AMGrimmelThis is a legitimate concern in regards to this issue. If FC's or players who own housing loose their house because they cannot zone into their estate, SE will have a riot on their hands.Quote:

active players and total characters on the server have little to do with the behavioral problem of exploiting the afk kick systemQuote:
