logged in 2 hours ago. only had 1k of people before me. then wile crafting. BOOM. your freaking server kicked me off. for lost connection. Tried to back in. get the freaking 3001 BS. closed out the program and relaunched. now at freaking 3k+.
What I want to know is. why there was not this problem before EW launch. then you took the servers down for 24 hours to patch. now he have these BS long ques. it is as if you actually turned something off and decided not to turn it back on
this is freaking BS!

More than half of the population was "hibernating" as they ran out of content a long time ago. Then WoW went boom and population increased to the level of Shadowbringers launch. Now Endwalker launches with the servers already near maximum and they have to deal with the hibernating people returning. Its the perfect storm as they have to wait at least 10 months or more to get new servers to expand the DCs.

12-09-2021, 07:04 AMCrunchyMilkI think its pretty much this. I left (not because of content, but personal reasons RL stuff.) more than a year ago and got back and only had two 5.x sections to catch up with before I can start the EW stuff. Its a great game though so people who didn't have anything left but dungeons and market board (from their perspective anyway) came back for the new content.Quote:

I guess there wasn't this problem before, because there was a good number of players on break and waiting to return once EW launched. That and the added need to play the new content while it's fresh. I wish it was as simple as an "on/off" switch.Quote:

I'm on Faerie as well and I also got booted at the same time. I also had to reload the launcher. I'm also still waiting in line to get back in. It seems to be going faster than it did yesterday. One of the boots yesterday made me wait 2.5 hours with a disconnect from the queue once but I got back in line fast enough. At this point, I'm grateful I made it through MSQ before the disconnects began for me.

3070 - new errors for me daily.

12-09-2021, 07:13 AMKes13amaybe its just teh IT person in me, but I somehow doubt servers capable of running an mmo are plentiful. plus, they would have to have guarantees of stability and high speed connection capability. otherwise I am sure they could just buy a bunch of Walmart specials and run on those right?Quote:

I like to imagine there's a scalper is buying up all the servers and marking up the prices on Ebay.

I got home at 420est Cactuar que was 3800. Got to under 3k and hit with 2002 an hour later now it's 4600 sitting at 4250. I haven't been able to get thru a que since Friday without erroring. Only time I've been able to play has been overnight waking up 2 hrs before work which I agree is BS I don't mind waiting thru a que but getting kicked constantly is not cool at all I honestly don't think 7 days of time is enough, it's been 4 but guess we'll see

12-09-2021, 07:34 AMKrotoanYes. The multi-billion dollar company is either not-internet savvy and cannot google "server hosting for rent" or lying to it's thousands of customers because it's developers just don't like to have more satisfied customers.Quote:

12-09-2021, 07:58 AMPredatoryCatgirlComparing servers you can rent off of a Google search to the server needed to run an MMO is like saying "Why is there a shipping backup? There are plenty of moving vans."Quote:

12-09-2021, 08:01 AMWaaltarYou posted at 4:54 so two hours earlier was 2:54pm. Yes, the login ques are much much much much much shorter at night or during the work day. Evenings and weekends are called "prime time" i.e. when the largest number of players want to play. It's just unavoidably this way because people work during the day and sleep at night. Edit: Evening ques are like 5000+ but last night by around 2AM the que was basically normal, less than a hundred on Aether.Quote:

And since you can't play anyway I would assume you have some free time, maybe you should use that time for some education purpose. May I suggest doing a bit of research on "different type of server" so next time you don't make an ignorant suggestion while making it sound like the obvious solution? -

Kupo, you know the best servers are done with 1000's of Raspberry Pi's kupo <3

12-09-2021, 09:52 AMHaibelNo Company, who's product is completely intellectual property is going to host that on servers they don't control. At least not without serious legal agreements in place that take more time to draft then this problem will last.Quote:

JP and EU queue times in their primetimes are NOTHING like NA.. I have characters on every server, and nothing like NA. They could easily send a few physical towers from JP and EU for NA to use temporarily. They could also stress test the Oceanic servers with us.

Wait over an hour to login get to queue 1100 and get 202 error and login again to just be put up to over 5k queue. This is total bs
-
12-09-2021, 09:59 AMPredatoryCatgirlEU, for the most part, has it worse than NA. Also, I'm not an IT expert, but I'm willing to bet that sending a server cross-planet and setting it up is not something that could be done in any reasonable amount of time, especially keeping in mind that while its in transit, NO ONE is using it.Quote:

Like.. come on, they're not purposely turning shit off to fuck with their customers, this isn't Blizzard.
You're joking right..? EU datacenters have had it the worst of all since friday, pretty much everyone knows and agrees upon that fact. Please tell me you're joking.. that you're not seriously trying to argue what's in your post.. you cannot be serious.Quote:
