Hi All

As I expected large queues as I play on Phoenix and in the past I even found a queue of 10 to 30 at 1:00am GMT. I even deliberately did not plant anything before the expansion so nothing would be left rotting in our garden

So I didn't try to log in on Friday or Saturday. I had a quick look at 09:50 GMT on Sunday took one look at the 9,700 queue length and went and did something else.

So today was my first real attempt to Login. I started at 10:30 GMT and was presented with a 5,815 queue. I gave up and went for Lunch at 11:50 GMT after 3 x 2002 errors and getting to 4,037 in queue, as said previously though queue length was remembered between 2002 errors.

Restarted at 14:20 GMT with a queue length of 5,815 (yes the same queue length as my previous start). After 4 x 2002 errors and I had got to 3,026 by 16:40. This where I made my mistake, after another 2002 error. I went and made a coffee and phoned a friend and got back to my PC at 17:05, logging back in I was now 8,400 in the queue. So gave up for today.

While the above was happening, I have been playing other games, typing up documents and researching stuff.

Am I surprised, No as this is a very popular game.
I am mad or angry, No as I was expecting this.

Now SE have suspended Auto-Demolition for a while, I have no reason to go in for a few weeks to make sure our FC Small Holding is okay. So I will wait a couple of weeks now to allow the frenzy to die down a bit. After all it is only a game
