To the people who are logged in overnight

[Hagito]

I wonder if the reason SE is not implementing auto AFK kick has to do with certain statistics, such as number of concurrent players. SE recently announced a record-breaking number of concurrent players. This shines a good light on the game given all the positive press surrounding the story. But what if the reason for all of these players "playing" at the same time is simply the fact that people are not logging out....ever so there is no player rotation or expected population fluctuations throughout the day/week/month?

No, they said they are not adding it right now until it is needed after the upgrade. That is all.

It would take longer to program and design such system over simply upgrading the servers, and with time after that add such system if needed.

Are you not being selfish by demanding that he log out. He wants to play just as much as you do, the only difference is he actually got on and doesnt plan on sitting in the log in screen forever and ever. Grow up and realize this is how the real world is. You look after yourself and your friends and forget everyone else cause they arent important. I wouldnt screw myself over just to help some random stranger and im certainly not gonna log off just to let someone i dont even know on the server instead of me.

That's an awfully caustic mindset.
Flawed too. It relies on a sort of bandwagon mentality. Everyone else is a jerk so they can be too?
Well sorry to say, but a jerk is still a jerk. No matter how many of them there are.

Instead of wallowing in their own self pity, perhaps they could step up and show everyone how much better they really are.

nonsensical BS tripe

Well, in this world, there are two types of people. The ones who strive to make the world better than it was when they came into it, have enough empathy to think about others, and try to be fair. Then there's the opposite... you. Of course, as your kind often does, you will defend yourself by saying "grow up" to people who don't think it's right to be a jerk. Like the only way a person can show maturity is to be a selfish prick. That... makes no sense. But it also tells me what kind of person you are. I also regret that you're not on my server. If you were, we'd all B-list you and make fun of you afterwards.

Everything is not at face value oh gullible one

They probably already have the function to kick AFK players. It's a simple line of programming language, as opposed to purchasing additional servers and installing necessary software, which is taking days.

pause right here.

this right here is you saying "your opinion doesn't match mine. i and my friends are going to persecute you for it".

if that isn't bullying i'm not sure what is, honestly.

sigh. these internet moral debates certainly are interesting, if nothing else.

Several things could and should have been done until such time as the data center issue is resolved to facilitate the trogs that waht to stay logged in for 24 hours a day.

1. Rolling restarts at noon and midnight PST for NA servers

2. Kick idle/afk personnel after 30 minutes

3. Expand the queue to host at least 500 people

Some people have no desire to coexist with others, and these people are part of the problem. Yes the data centers should have been ready, I know I have no desire to pay for a game that I have to sit for hours on end trying to get into my server. The SE team has done a great job making alot of things in this game the way they should have been in the initial release...now if they had done some forecasting...

There's "bullying", and then there's "not being friends with jerks".

Shunning someone who would push a person out of their wheelchair and laugh at them is not bullying. Nor is calling that person a prick. I never said we would persecute anyone. I just said we'd B-list him and talk and laugh about him later. lol

If there was an actual AFK kick system and a TRUE server queue system there would be no reason any of this would be happening in the first place. Let's hope this fixed and addressed this week.

I got kicked when my modem crashed and now i can't get back in
