Reset the servers

[Zileth]

Only 15 minutes? I've had ~30 minutes multiple times only to get kicked out with 2002. I don't mind being in queue and waiting for my turn, but having to LOGIN again and again is just not acceptable. The 7 days is nice, but when it's your day off (Sunday here) its a tad annoying when you try to play for 3 hours w/o success.

Hope they fix this soon - launch is in 2 days and then what is going to happen.

They most likely going to be doing more game time and other free items

This is nothing, arr launch you couldn't even queue for more then 20-30 seconds without a random error. R E L A X

Resetting the server at 4AM wouldn't fix anything, because the hard queue has gone away by then. I had a soft queue of 19 at 6:30 AM this morning. I was let in 30 seconds later.

However, by 11AM, it was a hard queue of 250, and that took about 10 minutes to resolve.

By 6PM tonight, we know it will be at least 4000+ - and it is because people are not afking so much as literally playing nonstop because they know the second they leave, they're not coming back.

(AFK methods known to be disabled include: Running into the wall, HUD layout, retainer bell, housing menu, etc. I have personally tested one of those and confirmed, the others are reported by other people. I've no doubt there are some other afk workarounds out there but they'd require a third party app at this point.)

Last night, after over an hour, I finally hit number 1 in the queue... just to get the 2002 error! Logged back in and I'm back in the 4,000s!!!

You too, haha!!

oh, just got kicked out again but only 20m this time...

Nothing. It will be the same. The only thing that launches officially for everyone is EW and so those that didn't preorder and buy it on launch instead will have access to EW areas. If they've been logging in and playing (or, well, trying to play) nothing has actually changed because they've still been in queue with the rest of us who had access to EW stuff early from preordering, and they're still doing stuff in game. Literally nothing will change except an uptick in players in EW areas.

logged on in the morning where the queue was 30 people. You just need to log on when it is not prime time.

They should do a maintenance and reset them. They would free up the spaces bots, gold sellers and afk players is taking up.

Oddly, weird as people think this request is. They have done this in the past. So they may do this for EU servers at the very least.

Back during Stormblood, you'd get a one hour warning that servers were going to reboot, thus everyone was put back into a queue once more. This was on the Japan servers at least.

damn only 15 minutes.....why not try and click on the game everyonce in a while. Its meant I can stay in the queue for hours at a time.
(Also, its roughly 2000 places for every hour or so)
