AFK Kick Timer

[Mailstrum]

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.

an AFK auto boot will not solve anything it is easy to circumvent it with keyboard macros.... they are doing exactly what they need to do to fix the log in issues and these fixes take effect on the 4th

Where is everyone seeing that the servers will be added and capacity increased on the 4th? I can't find the thread anywhere.

Excuse my Engrish.
Regarding the current situation
We are pushing the servers to the limits but allowing in as many people in as possible. Current record 230k people connected at once
Maintenanace beginning of 4th September Japan time
We are progressing smoothly with our plans to install new worlds as well as the load testing of the contents finder. If everything goes along as planned, installation should be done by tomorrow and we will begin internal testing from Monday onwards.
Judging by our current progress and estimates, we will implement a long maintenance on 4th of September Japan time where we will bring live the new worlds and rebalance the contents finder.
We are are expecting a rush of people logging in once maintenance is over so we will be monitoring the situation and relaxing the restrictions as it balances out.
Regarding addition of free play time
We are considering including a further 7 free days of play to all currently active and dormant (legacy) FF14 accounts. We plan to begin adding these extra days once the maintenance is over. I will update the exact date and time of when the the extra days will be provided once we have finalised the plans.

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.

AFK is not a problem for worlds that aren't at capacity. A lot of "AFK"ers may just be waiting for Duty Finder to match them up. A lot of people are probably not AFK but hanging out online to get a chance to take down Odin, who has been popping lately.

I don't know the numbers, but if there are hundreds of people (per world) AFK and yet thousands (if not ten thousand) per world who are getting the "World Full" "error", then knocking off those few hundred won't make a lot of difference. SE does know the numbers, and also how long it would take to design, code, test and implement an AFK kick. They may even be in the process of doing that now. My guess is it would take longer and solve less than adding more worlds in 2 days.

I'm not sure you understand what AFK stands for...

Couple things that stand out to me, first thing being all of this seems to revolve around the JP worlds, with no mention of the EU/NA worlds. Meaning that this Sept. 4th update is likely for the JP worlds only, with the EU/NA worlds getting their update at a later time, if this wasn't the case then such an announcement would have been posted in the English forums as well.

Second, they are only considering a refund of days lost for those who have a legacy account? Is that some kind of sick joke?

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.
