AFK Kick Timer

[Mailstrum]

Who stated it was GM's who would be doing the searching. It's called software, and many MMO's already have it in place. Some log npc and quest interaction, crafting, etc.

If you think this is all magically going to disappear on the 4th, you're a complete sucker.

They are doing several things currently. They are upgrading the data centers to hold a larger number of concurrent long ins(better que system) they are also upgrading current servers and adding new servers. With the new servers the restrictions on character creation will go away. Also with the upgraded data centers having a larger que will remove the 1017 errors. Things will start to even out and run smoother come the 4th. also as more people get out of the starting area and spread out amongst the other zones, zone loads will not be as much of a threat to crash the server so they can actually bring servers up to max population. Currently 5000 people logged in to a server they if 4000 of htem are in the starter zone boom crash zone over populated. Log in ques will start to be much shorter 1017 will go away.

I believe the word you're looking for is "queue"

Que is spanish for "what"

(better "what" system)
larger "what" will remove the 1017 errors.

im sorry i didnt know this debate was about spelling errors. I thought it was about an afk timer and server issues and what SE is doing to fix them and compensate us for this down time.

Also i dont speak spanish and english isnt my native language.

It's about AFK timers, which would go a long way to relieving some of the peoples frustrations. When I "queue" for duty finder, I don't sit there for 60 mins waiting for it to pop, I go do other things like crafting and questing. There goes that argument. I never asked anything about compensation (I frankly don't care about being compensated).

In regards to the spelling, most browsers show a squiggly red line when a word is incorrect for the language you're typing in. The official posts and many others have used the word correctly and still people, native English speakers or not, insist upon using the wrong word. My apologies if it sounded like a personal attack, it was meant as a friendly jibe to point out the correct spelling of the word.

an afk timer wouldnt fix anything 1000s of people are trying to log in there are not 1000s of people afk even if the did add an afk timer 100 people being kicked out isnt gonna make a big difference. What the real issue is the queue system needs to be upgraded so it can hold more people in the queue. All the systems are tied together currently it says the world is full. But its not really full its an artifical limit they have put in placed. Such to prevent zone population to crash the server. This was stated in the long post by yoshi p on these forums. once the data centers get upgraded you will see less 1017 and more you are 500 in queue. Also as people leave the starter zones and start to spread out the artifical cap will be raised to let more people in because zone crashing will be less of a threat.

So because you have nothing you have to do besides play this video game and can wait 30-40 mins without having to potentially clean, cook or ect noone else can have real life duties? When you grow up and realize that real people have to work and take care of themselves you might realize that not everyone afks because they choose to, sometimes we HAVE to do things while we await our queues, especially when u have to use duty finder for stuff like dungeons and trials for the primary story lines.

It's called time off from work and study, friend. I would suggest you think before making an attack post eh? Makes you look like a right fool, as much as anyone posting about queues or login issues.

if you are gone for more than 30 minutes you get logged off deal with it too bad so sad

and have GM's in game to kick macro makers and abusers of the afk system.

a timed boot would be successful as long as it had some sort of "enter the code" captcha type event. But simple enough for controllers to do within the time frame.

10 minutes "idle" (Idle defined later) and the "Are you still there?" message pops up, prompting for a captcha-like event. Failure to enter it within time (or incorrectly) results in booting.


*Idle would have to be defined as no exp, no quest accepted/turned in, no location switching, etc and not just "standing doing nothing" as easy to do movement could be done constantly (even with controllers)

But still, not impossible.
