Server is full

[daedalusAI]

580 players in the queue and it doesn't even count down.

Who could've though that Fr evening with stormblood early access there could be a surge of players.

MSQ is totally broken and SE are ignoring the issue completely. I'd say congestion will be higher than usual because no on is able to get past the 4th MSQ with out spamming the NPC for hours.

been waiting 2 hours 1796 players in the queue not going down at all

I'm sorry because I know some will disagree with me, but at times like these they should really initiate an auto-afk kick after a certain time period. While it's not the main issue, it probably isn't helping anything not having one right now. They can remove it again after the congestion subsides. /shrug ...I don't know, just a thought.

I'd really like to be a fly on the wall to see what - if anything - is currently being done.

Edit: sometimes I really do wonder if they live in a bubble unable to foresee something as trivial as a player rush at the start of the weekend at the beginning of early access. Or gating MSQ which leads to overload on their instance servers.

They've already put that on. If you're AFK for 30 minutes you get the boot and shoved to the back of the queue.

Well, good...I don't remember seeing any notes about that.

if you was on earlier you would of wasted almost 3 hours anyway waiting for them to fix the issue with duty finder which was BS and would of been held back from doing certain quests too cos of it. whats really screwed up is that you're actively playing then ctd and have to deal with the queue issue.

you can easily fool it by making a macro though

If you're wondering if the MSQ and Duty Finder issues are being addressed, then try checking the Lodestone website. They've posted updates on the issue and have issued temporary fixes to the problem. Those on more congested servers are going to have a harder time of it than those on less congested servers. They are very clearly aware of the issue and are attempting to resolve it. They are not ignoring it.
