Please bring back auto afk log outs!

[Matter]

Hello! I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that Excalibur is probably to date, the most populated server. Mostly because every time I step foot into Mor Dhona at 3:00am, there are dozens of chair icons meaning dozens of people are afk. I've been having a friend wanting to create a character on my server to play with me for several days now and it seems no matter what time it is, it is always "crowded" with afk people. This is severely bothering me now and I really think high populated servers need auto afk logout, at least during highly congested times. Please listen to this, this has become really annoying as of late. I hope that this issue is fixed soon. I'm not excited for free login weekend... nobody will be able to get into excalibur at that rate... so sorry for venting. Thank you for reading.

Funny how the only server locked is Excalibur huh? I checked at around 3:20 am

[Alukah]

lol is that really Windows Vista?

Anyways, I dislike any form or shape of auto logout so I disagree.

Nah, I enjoy Balmung being locked most of the time also so RMT cant make hundreds of characters per day. Haven't recieved RMT tell/friend invite for a good month or so.

And logging back in on Balmung you have to wait in queue from like 3pm to 11pm pst, I'd rather not having to wait in queue when I go for dinner or a long toliet break >.o

The amount of people online at any given time does not affect the server lock out whatsoever. It's SE that shuts down the character creator server access during certain time windows, when the highest amount of log ins is registered. Even if afk people logged off, the server would stay locked for people making new characters until SE noticed a stable change in the log in activity and decided to change the server lock out settings.

Actually, I think it's completely automated. Balmung opens up at around 6am EST. Character creation is just locked during those heavy log on volume times. It's SE's way of filtering people into lower population servers, which is fine. Those who are dedicated to playing with their friends will come here and ask, and we will tell them when to try to create their character (like yesterday someone wanted to get into Balmung, which is also one of the most densely populated legacy servers).

Actually I believe I saw excalibur available like 4 hours ago. I see balmung less open more than any other servers. I'm sure if you had scrolled down by like a little more, balmung should have been locked too XD since if balmung isn't locked the other servers shouldn't be either from i have seen.

And if you go to the lodestone they post the lockout and open times for the different worlds, you just have to wait until they unlock the server you want.

Thanks you guys! I guess we'll just keep on hunting for those certain times I'm sorry for not being rational it's just upsetting is all :<

That is incorrect. SE posts updates periodically, but the servers open and close independent of those updates.
