Zone Lock Petition.

[Nemo5990]

Now I have not played A Realm Reborn yet as a tester and even if I did that is disclosed. I was randomly thinking what if we get locked out of the zone because of to many players/mobs loaded.

Then what do we do to cross over to the next area ? Anima might not be an option ? What if the zone doesn't have another entrance ? If this has already been thought over or implemented in a way that a player won't get locked out of a zone to cross over then you can ignore this thread.

Okay, so if this hasn't been thought over I've thought of a solution pretty simple also.

When a player trys to move into a zone that is full give them a prompt screen that pops up asking " Would you like to move to [ Area exit names that are available] [Yes] or [No] ?

Pretty simple so yea. So If you think it's a good Idea please by all means hit the like button.

Totally failed my Thread title lol ment to type "Zone Skip Petition". I was thinking faster then I typed and didn't really proof read.

sounds like a solution looking for a non-existent problem

If the given zone is full then we'll simply get put in an overflow server, much like Guild Wars 2 does.

First, we can tell you haven't played ARR since the alpha is not available to us yet for another four days. Second, I'm sure there's a solution in the works in case this stuff happens.

How can you be so sure ? As from what I've read the only time instances will be formed are for event/raid/dungeons.
The 2 hour Live video showed as they were locked out but because the zone was purposely closed. Still it led to him being locked out and there probably isn't a method to get around to the next zone. Was mostly a suggestion if they have not thought of it.

I myself don't see it being much of a issue with dungeon finder people can go to any zone and sit there wont be need for /sh and with a better buy/sell/bid system for the ward i don't see people /sh to sell or get people for event.

Also i don't see FFXIV having that many players on a giving time to be honest maybe the world only that noob can enter and once everyone quit and go to the next big MMO release or wow get a update which only take 2-3month then they all leave. Seeing how we also going to have JP,EU,NA servers and most endgame ls would be going to there server close to them that = less players per world.

Because you said "I was randomly thinking what if we get locked out of the zone because of to many players/mobs loaded."

Your entire premise is based upon the assumption that every zone will only support a finite number of concurrent users and will be hard coded to lock players out once that number is reached. An assumption that has no actual material support outside of your assumption, making the whole discussion irrelevant. We might as well be talking about what tactic and strategies we should be using in 2.0 for the Martian Pony Invasion raid.

Aside from a new expansion and everyone going to the same zone at the same time, I think were pretty safe on this. Heck in FFXI their servers supported 800 or so people in the same zone, I think we'll be fine.

Who are you again?
It's not an assumption as everything in the world has a limit so point proven. What if there is a popular area and masses of people are there hunting/grinding on all servers then what ? okay bye.

This answers your entire issue... no worries
