Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

You know what's awesome? You only get the warning if you happen to be on 1 hour before. Log in anywhere between that and the shut down and you'll get kicked without as much as a warning.

It isn't a ban thrown to those who abuse the afk exploit. But it's a start that they're /finally/ trying something instead of doing nothing.

They are past the 10 minute downtime and servers still not up.

Let's melt down the server as we login! go go go lets do it!

We would but we can't because they're still down. So much for "10 minute" reboots. :/

Edit: I stand corrected. They're up after 15mins. 250 person queue on Gilga vs. 20ish before the boot.

I hate you right now Squeenix.

It not that long to get back in after fresh start. After maintenbance and everyone trying to log in shorter then current queue. After maintenance it maybe like 30 minutes at most to get in which is much shorter then the 2-3 hours currently.

Well it is a rather brutish way to clean things up but it should work. I'm wondering if a better way to handle it is only reboot those servers showing backups and leave the lesser populated/smoother running servers alone. Either way I still think the benefits of a 10 minute outage out weigh the negatives at this point.

Server logout at 3pm est. Back in game at 3:15 est. Everything is fine.

Excalibur goes from a 7 person queue to a 295 person queue. so much for reducing the queue.
