log in ques

[Secret_Reeve]

this is really fustrating,

playing away minding my own business when i get booted off the server, then when i try toget back on my login que possition is 59.

when you make a character and select a server it should warn you when its at full capacity.

and it DEFINATLY shouldnt kick people off then shove them in a que, kick those people who are just standing there afk for more than an hour to make room for players!

[Secret_Reeve]

my point being

the server should take into account players who afk for more than an hour and kick them from the server to make room for players who wish to get on and play.

It does there little chocobo on it the kicking thing wont work out what about people who sell while there AFK?

I'm assuming you mean queues. Two hours and maybe I'll consider it. But how do you determine who's actually afk? What if somebody is just staring at the /sh log, waiting for something interesting? You can't really distinguish between who's afk or not. But I get your frustration, even though I haven't lived it.

movement, chat log entries and menu interaction. if you dont engage in any of these 3 things the server should pick up on you being afk and boot you off after an hour.

as for selling while afk, thats why you have retainers! they're full? tough, wait for something to sell or re-organise your retainer bazaar.

people standing there afk for hours upon hours during prime times forces players into log in queues which wouldnt be needed if people had a little common decency and logged out when not playing.

I didn't realize FF14 has log-in queues, or enough players to trigger it o_o

The concept of retainers was probably developed from what they learned from XI. Many people would AFK in Rolanberry and get killed by a trained Simurgh, (lulz) and later on they would AFK in a part of Jeuno depending on server. They also realized that people have a ton of mules so they made them cost $1 each, (Same as an extra character in XI.) instead of the $3 per new character for XIV.

AFK detection is rather simple. Flag someone with the away icon if they are idle and don't do anything for about 10 minutes. All you have to do to remove the flag is move a little. If the away flag stays on for more than 15 minutes, boot them off.

Yes, because everyone wants to relog back in everytime after they take a shower, make some food, go out to the corner store/gas station, or any of the countless myriad of things that may take them away from the pc for 10-30 min.

yup, gonna be a really popular feature I bet.
