To the people who are logged in overnight

[Niroken]

I find it kind of funny, really. These things are hard to predict accurately so in times where the devs are fixing servers or bugs it really falls to the players to do the right thing, so look what happens. It's really interesting to see the mentality of some people, right or wrong it's still fascinating. Just in my own experience sometimes I get into the server (after many tries) and sometimes I don't but I always log off no matter what. I'm sure it's just my own personality but I think that since everyone is "paying", why should they sit out on the fun while if I'm just standing in the middle of nowhere while I'm passed out or at work. Sure I won't get to play whenever I feel like it but I'll get in when I can and I'll do something else if I can't. I thought everyone was taught the value of sharing? :0

Until this issue is fixed, I will stay logged in at all times, and will advise all my friends to do so as well.

Laughing at all the "if you're a responsible and mature adult you'll log off" BS I'm seeing in this post.

If you had to pick between a completely random persons well being (could be a racist or murderer for all you know) and your own well being,
any NORMAL person would pick their own well being.
You can log off at night and go cherish your false sense of having done a good deed all you want, fact of the matter is that you'll only be punishing
yourself for not playing by the rules of a flawed system, and instead letting another person; who will probably do the smarter choice and remain online;
onto the server.

That being said the sooner square fix this the better. The system as is is ATROCIOUS; and should never have been their backup plan in the first place.

I agree wholeheartedly. No one should log out with this mess going on.

Wait until SE cant fix the problem on Wednesday and then they have to add the afk auto kick. Yeah I'm sure people will find away around it but I think if you are standing in the corner jumping or running into it we know your afk. Also they should add a feature cause you know people are thinking they are going to be slick "Well I can just go to my inn and jump or run into a wall and no one will see me" that once your in your room you auto log out after 25mins or so whether you are afk or not. Also I could care less either way cause I get on do what I want and log off and for the people who say you sit here for 2hrs+ trying to log in go find something else to do. When I cant login I try for maybe 30mins and I sure as heck ain't spamming the X button other things to do in life besides waste 2hrs+ on logging into a game......

Last time I checked the players are paying for this time they are logged in.

You want so badly for this to be their fault. But it is squares fault.

That's true, but the selfish AFKers are just making things worse.

[ihatebeingwhm]

Survival of the fastest! Btw why are you guys calling AFK'ers childish yet you tend to verbally assault them? Hypocrite much?

And i logged off and was able to log on under 30minutes. Just spam 0 key. You'll get in!~

[indira]

only takes me 1-2 minutes to get passed the 1017 error.

To people that think its because of people being afk are the causes of the problem, well its been like this since launch. I doubt people were login in the 1st time just to go afk. Why do some people have no problem login in and some people cant even make a character? JP sever list gets fixed then the eu/na sever list goes down. >.< afk people are not the problem. I get the world is full message befor ive even picked a character.

[Odinsworn]

tbh if you are AFK for more than an hour, you should be d/ced and tough shit id you don't like it.
Honest to God its a disgrace to leave stuff powered up like that when you have no intention to use it.
