Lobby Connection Error

[jonphaedrus]

I have no problem with waiting in queue; this is my third go at early access. However, the new lobby error waiting spot hold has one glaring issue, and that's the fact of if you get to what would be first in line and you're lobby server error removed from queue....you get reset to the back of the line. Today at 7:30 my husband got into queue, and it's now 11:15. He got lobby server error removed at 25. There was no possible way for him to reopen the launcher, log in, and get through the title screen before he woul dhave hit first in line.

He was sent to the back of queue.

At number 6,400.

Please, please there needs to be some sort of grace period on this that's longer than 10-15 seconds or something that's able to keep people from getting bounced. Four hours in queue, starting at 3700, and now back again at 6000, is just...it's breaking my heart.

Edit: and if your character info isn't loading on the login screen, you can't swap to login via a different world. So with lobby server errors causing trouble, that means it's almost impossible to do things like access the darn menu or try a different world. He'd be happy to do that...if he had character info!

If i cancel payments to FFXIV NOW, what is going to happen?

It may not belong here but any1 can help? I tried to find the answer but i couldn't.
I get server connection error since EW started, ive been able to q for two hours max before error, by now numbers barely ever go below 7000 when i get kicked out.

At this rate i dont think ill be able to play anytime soon, and once i start something else i wont look back for months, i just get hooked. I had a 4 month hiatus on FFXIV before when i continued to pay all along cuz "ill get back on it next week, just gotta finish this other game quick" and so on. I dont want to repeat that.

So as MUCH as i really want to play now, i can not, and it inevitably will result in abandoning the game when i start a "replacement, comfort" one.
Im just kind of afraid how that will impact my account if i go out now when the game is so full...

I hope me giving up and accepting defeat does a favor for all others but i dont want to be set back/lose anything or even lose the inactive or whatever account itself due to my space being needed or idk, i really dont know anything about these things...
Please can anyone give me advice?

I was wondering about this too. What are square going to do to compensate players? i have cancelled my subscription but i cant login to enjoy my last days. So i should not really lose them in my opinion. They should at least add days to my account because i cant play.

I can deal with the Queue to log in, I've had to wait and relog through multiple queues some as long as 2 hours (hearing way higher then that on other servers)

I just recently started with a Queue of 2,400, after well over an hour I was at number 5 and I got kicked out of the Queue. I attempted to log back in right away and a queue of 2800.

The queues are bad enough, but people are dealing with them.

To then have to wait so long then to be kicked out of your turn to log in is terrible.

You need to fix this SE and you really should be compensating your players for this failing log in system. People will wait their turn but they should not keep getting kicked out from their turn to log in to the back of the line.
