The server is full, try again later (1017)

[eleck]

easy way to solve this issue that took m3 3 hours to get in, and the awnser is kick players from the server when they are afk, since unless their connection drops they can be in the server afk for all day
seriously kick them fror beeing afk and the queues are solved in parte atleast

When the Frozen Throne was released i was unable to log into the game for two days. Queues of more than 1000 people. When could log, i was disconnected.

This always happens at the launch of any MMO or expansions. Some have luck or time to log into alternative schedules or stay logged in all day.

So I'm cool with that.

Now, if next week nothing is resolved, it is quite simple: i'll just stop playing.

Everyone comes here in the forum complain (and have to do it) but nobody goes there and cancel the account.

So...

The part that gets me is SE's idea that it is good practice to remove game access for MOST people in order to provide a full game experience for SOME. If given the choice, I'm sure MOST people here would prefer to be able to log in period and just not have access to SOME game features.

Sure, people would still complain they couldn't do everything they wanted, but at least they'd have the option to wonder around the game and maybe find something entertaining to do while they wait, maybe even something they might not have otherwise tried and it turned out to be awesome. Even running circles around Ul'Dah would be better than playing a failing login lotto that will only make customers progressively more upset.

The fact it's a lotto is infuriating. If I had a queue telling me I would be able to login in 6 hours (Aion at release), I could just go do something else instead of wasting AN ENTIRE EAFTERNOON trying to login with no success while a friend of mine can arrive and login in his first attempt just because he's lucky.

Meanwhile, people can AFK all the day if they don't get a disconnect.

Wrath of the Lich King, whatever. You understand, right?

Wrath had queues, no matter the size, Wrath put you in a queue, the issue still remains.

3 EU/US servers out of 25 accepts new people.
22 JP servers out of 25 accepts new people.

People all over the world are having problems AT LAUNCH and SE is silent as the grave...

This is it SE, you won't get to do 3.0. Get on it!

[Zerorush]

Someone else stated this just now but seriously it's tuesday today at a point where the majority of the country is still at work and in school and you're telling me your servers are so over stressed that I can't even get into a queue? What the hell kind of ancient cheap tech did they get for this game?!

Games with less than half this game's budget have better servers than this.

[Rayzn]

Where the hell is the que I mean sometimes its there other times you just lock people out come the hell on man. You can so go play a different server but that don't help my friends are on that server and this is why I just plain wont log out anymore. Absolutely ridiculous.


Oh and also love the fact that SE doesn't even respond to this issue, or if they do its just "We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you". Shut up and fix it or give more free time out like the first time you launched.

I have an Idea, lest all go to JP servers @!@@

The stupid thing is, not only do they have inferior network engineers, they have inferior Sr. Network engineers.

The first thing to do in this situation is set up an emergency team, to patch the launcher on the client side to catch the overflow of the failing queue system.

It would take a team of programers a couple of hours to write a small sub program creates a 2nd queue "room" that reports to the SE HQ instead of datacenters. Which then SE can send delay routes based on server load.

Thus when you log in to "server1" it's actually going to [check server load script] instead of "server1"
When you do that you can completely lower the simultaneous connection speed via client interface "check server load every 3 minutes else, queue"

It's the equivalent of setting up a line on the street, when the lobby is filled up.
