To the people who are logged in overnight

[ExMachina]

It really looks awful to see the mass of afk idlers when logging in. Discovering that people are literally staying in game for days at a time to avoid any potential login issues is pretty ridiculous. Hoping that SE implements a forced logoff after x amount of time idle.

I hope they are ready for the "World of Warcraft Era" gamers that seem to have come to this game in droves. FF communities have always been relatively small, but generally pretty solid. A few minutes reading these forums and I am appalled at the toxicity some of you are bringing with you. I just hope that the true FF community can expel and ostracize you while still welcoming the newer players that have something to contribute besides bile.

As an end user my hands are tied, if i want a semi-reliable way to ensure i can play the game I paid for then staying logged in is the best option right now.

Why is that some players think their limited play time is more valuable than my limited play time? If anything, you are contributing to the problem when you remain logged in AFK because you are taking up space that would otherwise be filled by an ACTIVE player.

Yes, by the way of the rules, its fair play. However, that doesn't mean it is by anyway respectful to other members of your community. Be a little humble and logout when your done, give your space to someone else who probably has limited play time as well. The more players that take advantage of this 'loophole' the less space to go around for regularly logging in players and the worse 1017 will be.

Be a part of the solution, not the problem.

...As an adult, personally, I don't have all the free time in the world. I have some play time at night and if im lucky some time on the weekends. So why would I want to spend that free time spamming 0 when I could be playing? Perhaps justified selfishness, due to lack of options.

If you were a responsible and mature adult, you'd log off.

Hopefully the AFK kick will be implemented soon and will help to smooth things out. I don't really fear logging out as I havent seemed to have much trouble getting on, my longest wait so far has been about 10 minutes but I also mostly log in early in the morning. Still, spamming 0 got me on to the server in peak hours last night in a little under 10 minutes. Maybe I've just been extremely lucky thus far.

The server upgrades next week will be implemented before an afk kick ever will. Things like that need testing periods anyways

You guys are blaming the wrong people.

Its not the consumers fault the servers aren't capable of sustaining the amount of people that it should support.

Make another topic, and tell SE that you want better servers.

[AyaAkali]

It's not my fault that SE are suffering from gross incompetence and so I'm not going to suffer the hours of trying to log in again tomorrow when I can just remain logged in.

I'm sorry - who are you again? You know they are fixing it, so get over yourself already.

I personally would love a kick timer. 9:14 AM on a NA/EU server and I still am getting world is full. :/

[Kallera]

I agree, its very selfish to leave the game on for hours that you aren't playing. That's another connection someone else can enjoy.

[Jennestia]

next time I log in im not login out. I paid for this years ago no chance im waiting 2hours to get in every time I wanna play. why cant they have open severs and let us pick a empty one.

None of us paid for ARR years ago as none of us are paying for ARR for another few weeks.

Of everyone just logged off when you were done we probably wouldn't have as much congestion. You people posting here that you don't want to log off are the problem plain and simple.

8 hours of work. 8 hours of sleep. That's 16 hours you don't play that someone could have hopped in payed for a bit and logged out. But you don't want to get login problems?!?! You are the problem!

I log off everytime I'm done. Because I as a player know what's its like to not be able to pay when you have the time.
