Can I please just have a queue?

Look, I understand that launches for MMOs come with tons of bugs. But for the love of god can I please just have a queue to wait in. At least I could then do other things. I could tab out and watch Netflix, browse the web, pick up a guitar and tool around while I wait. No, instead I have to sit there and spam log on for hours at a time. This constant spamming log on over and over and over and over and over and over and over again is so completely aggravating and a waste of my time. And how many problems are being cause by thousands of people spamming log on? Perhaps this is why half the time I can't get to the NO world list?

I don't mind waiting in a queue. Waited several times through previous MMO launches in them. Its what happens. Not in your game though. No, you have your users pulling their hair out trying to log on. This is ridiculous. I have never seen a launch so poorly done.

Please, go ahead and limit who can be logged on at once, but let me wait in a queue. Please.

The problem is all the people who log in and never log out...and SE incentivising the behavior with 1017 errors. Post in this thread and get SE to make a real solution to the problem, not a patch fix like 1017.

You're a genius, you read my mind!!! I was coming here to write this!

I'd rather be in a queue for an hour then sit and hit this button over and over and over again...

And while we're at it add a countdown to the queue so we know how much longer it will be at a glance. Instead of just saying you're 300 in line, say 300. 299, 298. 297, etc...

This is GOD AWFUL!

That's all I ask for, letting FFXIV idle in the background for 2 hours would be so much better jamming my 0 key for 2 hours.

If it was easy as flipping a switch to turn queues on they probably would have. There's got to be some other issues that are making it very hard to just use queues.

This is easily the absolute worst launch I have ever been a part of. The worst part of it is that sadly they haven't even mentioned trying to expand server capacity. So are they going to just screw us over like this even after launch? This is absolutely unacceptable! AT LEAST SET UP A PROPER QUEUE DAMNIT!

queues are much simpler to add than you may think. Not as simple as flipping a switch, but it could be easily patched in. They may simply not want to allocate the bandwidth required for queues.

Well that's too bad... they HAVE to! And I normally am very patient but I just pushed the buttons on two PS3's over and over and over again for an hour... so I'm a little pissed off.

If history teaches us anything, it's the fact few ever learn anything from the lesson history teaches. We continue to remain just another statistic for SE to analyze.

It's ticking me off that I can't even wait in a queue.. They make us just spam log in until we HOPEFULLY get in, or get into a queue. When most of the time, these issues could be solved by just patching in something so simple.. God, this is the first and worst launch I have ever participated in. Please do us a favor and fix this, Square Enix! First impressions last, and your reputation may not hold strong after this!

There is a queue.

I got in one just before I managed to get online.
