Server queue time

[LaurieB]

Last week was over 3300 in the queue, but it went fast. Not sure why...hesitate to give any credit to any type of DDOS (they don't deserve it), but it went fast.

TBH what would recovering from a crash have to do with the position in queue? That's how many people are trying to get into the game at this current time. It has nothing to do with a crash as the servers are not offline.

Their login servers have regulations on how many can log in per cycle. Its an intentional bottleneck to regulate traffic and make it safer on the servers against DDoS and the such.

Yup, I was waiting in que and was down to 254 and the lobby crashed. Now when I get to the start screen it doesn't even let me get passed it. Sigh...I just want to gather...but oh well

[KaiSunstrider]

Servers died. Lobby server error over and over

There's a message on their site specifically saying they were experiencing a DDoS attack.

It's not like they've been in the MMO business for the past 16 years, or I might be pissed.

I love how every time a DDoS happens we kinda just have to wait for them to stop because.. ya know.. SE.

Came back in after a 38min wait only to lag out and eventually got kicked.
