30 minutes? Man where can I sign up for that?

So yesterday I was in a queue and the warning happened (this was before we knew what time it was going to be). So I'd been in that queue for 40 minutes at that point and the dungeon was going to take at least 30-40 minutes (50/60 roulette). So ... what? I was supposed to just know that I was about to be kicked from the game. Btw my server (Ultros) is not congested. I've never had a login queue last more than 10 minutes, and that was on launch day. My queue popped about 5 minutes later (45 minutes total). We got Snowcloak with a tank that had never done it before. So you can imagine how quickly the yeti boss went. I got out of that dungeon with about 10 minutes to spare on the logoff.

So really what you're saying is: I should decide about two hours in advance of the logoff whether or not I want to be able to play FFXIV during the time I have to play it. Thanks. That's helpful.
