Reset the servers

[EverQuest]

Retainer method no longer works most stuff doesn't as of 6.0

However other methods exist

Considering people can get away with being logged in and AFK'ing while doing things like talking to a retainer, I would garner that a reset would be good for the ques.

If people are still able to exploit the afk timer that way. Congestion is expected, but if people are holding spots on the server and not actually playing, im all for a reset.

They fixed most of that.

[Ravare]

They fixed most of that.

Cool if they did. But if they didnt fix all of the methods, those that cheated the system before will find the new current ways to exploit it as well.

[Hasrat]

In all likelihood, yeah, it'll reach this point if congestion remains over the next couple of days. As was pointed out, it's not unprecedented.

"I can play just fine so the fact that other people can't doesn't matter"

I agree with you!
People with this mentality drive me nuts. There are many people (like myself) who can't even GET into the queue let alone in the game for the past 24 hours. There are people being selfish using 3rd party tools to stay afk and not log out which prevents others from playing a game they are also paying for. Server resets would help the congestion for the afkers who are clogging up the servers.

So I would like to address my own anecdotal information regarding what you think people are getting away with.
I am a glutton for punishment, crafting in MMO is probably the cause, so I tried to do some of the things that before the release would allow you to stay afk for hours, days, even weeks if there was no server issue and this is what happened:

1. Talking to a Retainer/NPC - Automatically booted after 30 mins afk.
2. Using the HUD system - Again Automatically booted after 30 mins afk.
3. Doing the Manderville - Again Automatically booted after 30 mins afk.

However, yesterday I was able to by pass this afk timer 2 times. How I was able to do this was once I was finally in, I would go visit another world because the prices on current server was insane 5000% markups, oh hell no, "Diabolos" check the spelling on that, and I would be force stuck in the queue to move to that world. I could not do any trades, couldn't teleport anywhere, I was basically stuck. So, I thought how do I get
out of this insane queue within the game. Ahh, yes AFK timer will force me out. Sadly, that was not the case and I was afk for the whole time it took me to be transported. How long that was I have no idea but it was longer than it took me to watch the Matrix Reloaded, so two plus hours?
