Is the queue really not moving after 30 minutes?

[Tridus]

Subject says it all. Half hour of 3001 errors and I got into the queue, which surprisingly was under 600 (I was expecting thousands). 573 to be exact.

30 minutes later, its still 573. Is this normal? Is no one really logging out at all? Because that hasn't been my experience in the past and makes me wonder if its actually working or if the entire server is just AFK bots.

I had that yesterday. Complaining about it to LS mates on Discord helped as suddenly it went down by 74 and I was in 30min later.

I'd love to be in a queue today. Unfortunately "The World is currently full. Please wait until an opening is available and try again."

I've been trying again every 15mins, but nada. Oh to be at 8,573 in a queue again!

Prior to 3001 occurring I had fellow FC members in queue upwards of 2k, and they all instantly got in to the game.

I believe that because of this we have to sit in queue for quite some time until the number of players in-game goes below some magic threshold.

I'm wondering if perhaps a server failed on Square's end and so the capacity of players allowed on a server dropped, kicking a bunch of people randomly and causing the 3001 errors.

Didn't hear anything about a bunch of people being kicked in-game, but sources on Gilgamesh confirm that people that were in the thousands in queue were allowed in immediately... and just after that the 3001 errors began for at least 20 minutes before people could get back in to queue.

I myself have been in queue for over half an hour at 203 and have not moved. Time will tell.

That was me two days ago. I feel your pain. Hope it lets you in soon!

It still hasn't moved. 57 minutes at the exact same queue number now. I don't know what to make of it because it's so weird. (But it hasn't booted me 3 times, so that's a plus.)

Makes sense. Mine started moving and now it's going down by 75 a minute, several minutes in a row. Very odd behavior!

if the queue stops moving, leave the queue and quickly reenter to refresh your connection to the queue.
works for me after a few refreshes

Yoshi P explained what happened.

When a world is at user cap, the lobby server waits until 100 spaces have cleared up. Then it checks again, since people are returning from duties all the time, and allows however many of the next batch of people were in the queue to get in.

When the world is full and the queue doesn't seem to be moving, it's because you're literally waiting for enough people to join a duty, log off, or lose their connection to free up spaces.

Large scale instance duties like Bozja actually could help clear out some of the server overhead, but there aren't enough people doing that content any more since everyone wants to be in the overworld for MSQ.
