Logout Measures

Once again, that was the second warning. I don't have a screenshot in game, but I copypasted it on Skype with a timestamp if you really need proof (or my chatlogs). We're on the same server, and both my FC and novice network were talking about it when it popped up at 1:58pm (I'm in NY, so it was 10:58am for PDT).

Edit: Aforementioned skype screenshot here.

I guess there was an earlier announcement, but, it never showed up for me.

As for that last line.... Had to wait behind 500 people to get back in

Huh...

Tried logging in to Balmung at 16:30ish....


Instant queue...
This seems to be at least somewhat effective.

Kicking every off of the worlds that don't have queue problems seems a bit extreme. Just do it for the problem-child worlds like Baldung and Gigramesh.

Or come up with an auto logout that people can't circumvent.

As I said before, not possible without Square spying on us, All you have to do is make any movement in game to reset the countdown which can be achieved in a large variety of ways and quite frankly I rather Enix not go and turn FF14 into Runescape, the 5 minute logout system was enough of a headache there. One would go afk for a min to take a leak then when they came back they'd be logged out forced to lack back in (and chatlog gone). Here in FF14 on top of that we also gotta wait in a login que to get back in (some servers worse than others) and to add insult to injury Square has the client setup to automatically close after a failed login attempt yea ... Can't blame someone for not wanting to logout considering that.
