start doing periodic server restarts to kill all these AFK losers.
Other people that have lives and don't have time to sit in front of a computer for hours on end would like to play some.
Please for the love of god

09-03-2013, 11:48 AMAzureKuhnProblem is that if they restart everyone who is currently playing gets booted. These people all rush to relog. This places immense server strain, some servers probably end up having severe issues. Now it takes many hours longer than it would've for the World to re-open and run stable.Quote:

AFK timer, I have only seen 15 thousand people ask for it.

09-03-2013, 11:50 AMAzureKuhnAnti-AFK macro. They're using one to log in, not hard to just leave it running and beat most AFK detection systems. Simply put, any fix is easily circumvented within minutes of implementation or risks breaking their servers.Quote:

Do like every other MMO developer does: put timeouts on inactive characters, if they stand in the same place and no actions are being performed for a long period of time then boot them from the server.

if people are going to abuse the macros then they should take away the macros.

The Dev team has no immediate plans for afk timers or even a legit queue system.
Their focus is solely on the new servers and increasing capacity on current servers.

Most of my friends and I haven't been able to log in at all for 3 days... which is fair enough, shite happens and we are awaiting the fix tomorrow.
but seriously, all the selfish AFKers are ruining the launch for a lot of players. Blows me away how inconsiderate people can be over a video game, extremely childish mentality. -
09-03-2013, 12:02 PMSKYeXileI'm all for the auto kick of AFKrs...but for now...if you cant beat them, join them until the problem is fixed, its a pretty simple fix along with a queue that works really.Quote:

09-03-2013, 12:14 PMSKYeXileLets be serious, the only reason you're not doing it was because you got 90ked and kicked and couldn't get back in to go afk...Quote:

They should just increase the resting bonus if you log out at an inn or sanctuary. At the very least, it's a bit of incentive.

09-03-2013, 01:15 PMZyloWolfBaneIf this was true then you wouldn't have time for the game either, so why should you get priority over someone else?Quote:

Seriouly drop the ball on this one. As a normal person who works I've been able to log in 3 times over 4 days and spent most of my weekend spaming the start button. SQUARE ENIX if you had a face I would slap it! The amount of game coppies sent around the world and online subscription would IDK given them a pretty clear Indication of the amount of players and servers use and loads! OH server is full -.- cranky now!

09-03-2013, 01:34 PMSpittingfox
My vote is to give Black Mages a legit Banish spell that we can use on AFK players to force them off the server... Muahaha the fun!!!

At this point you have no chance in hell to play till after the maintenance, assuming SE got it right.

09-03-2013, 02:39 PMAlexb150transfers wont solve anything. quite a few people would have to leave to improve it anyQuote:
