Difference here is that even theme park attendants realize that it makes sense to remove the placeholder... Easy solution.

Yes, it seems simple, but don't expect a Japanese Company to even consider the thoughts of selfish NA players. It probably wouldn't even occur to them as a possibility that players would knowingly stay logged in if it meant that others would be locked out.

It's funny to see people throwing around "favouritism" responses that the JP Servers are so much better managed and are so much better because they don't have the issues that the EU NA Servers have. Or is it just that they are more respectful of each other and thus the servers are actually able to rotate players through during different playtimes the way they should.

Different cultures operate differently, simple as that. Is it up to JP players to learn to be more selfish? Or should NA players learn to be better players.

I'll just leave my Backpack on this Roller Coaster Ride encase I want to come back and ride it later, that way I wont have to wait in line, I am a paying customer afterall, hick hick.
Guess how many people would be stuck waiting in line, if everyone who came off the roller coaster held their spot...for later....if they came back...

Then we have this mindset - "Stupid Theme Park, why don't they build bigger Roller Coasters, FML."

I know ignorant people will always be ignorant, that's why I hope they add an Auto AFK Kick feature.

No offense intended, please do not twist my words. Take your anger and apply it at the 0 key that you might attain a log-in slot more efficiently. After working 9 to 5, i find i must log on during peak hours PST. It is fortunate that i have little issue getting in. I thank the twelve that weekends maintain this buff.

Lol. I must conserve my Anger. Thus, I invented this little gadget.



Periodically I check to see if I'm logged in.

I'm stuck logging in at 7pm EST - Here's my thoughts on that.

Except yesterday, I was spamming the "0" key for over 3 consecutive hours trying to get in the game when I DID get into a queue, it always gave an error in the end saying the lobby encountered an error, the world was full or connection to the server was just lost. Keep in mind I'm in the USA. But I don't see how some people can get in in under 10 minutes.

Seems I'm in the lowest populated NA Legacy server which may be why I'm able to consistently get in 3-20 minutes if I drop with 90000.

I admit that I had considered leaving myself logged in while I'm at work but decided against adding to the problem and frustration of others. It's kind of a dbag thing to do.

Great, just great, fools like you are one of the major reasons for the problem. "Oh look how smart I am, the server is full so I will leave my toon logged in so I can play, screw everyone else!" You know why the server is full? it's because or fools leaving their character logged in 24hrs a day. The problem is that as soon as one does it, another does, and pretty soon you have 1017 waiting at peak times, so other login off-peak and leave their character in. like a snowball rolling down a hill, that gathers more snow as it goes, the worse the 1017 gets, the more people who login and park.

Except that sooner or later most if not all of the 1017 wait time can be attributed to fools like you blocking space on the server, it doesn't matter if the server is given more memory or CPU, fools parking characters in a selfish and ultimately stupid attempt to 'beat the system' will fill up the available slots and prevent other from actually playing.

Since the OP and others have already proclaimed how self centered and arrogant they are by their conduct and posting about it here, I need not really say much more. I will add though, that I hope your character get's DC'd and lost in error 90000/3102 limbo for several days, it would serve you right for being so damned selfish.

"You're either part of the solution, or part of the problem. So quit being part of the problem!"

AFK auto-kick for the win! At this point I think a 60 minute autokick on players in a sanctuary/inn is required, and perhaps a 2hr autokick for characters anywhere else in the game. It's time to take care of these selfish people.

It's funny to see people throwing around "favouritism" responses that the JP Servers are so much better managed and are so much better because they don't have the issues that the EU NA Servers have. Or is it just that they are more respectful of each other and thus the servers are actually able to rotate players through during different playtimes the way they should.

I'm sure that some of it is cultural and about the inherent politeness and respect people in Japan operate with, but it's also because the JPN servers are not handling such a huge demand from users since they cover a comparatively smaller market than all of NA/EU. If you read and dig, you'll find that JPN servers have had the same issues as the NA/EU ones, just not with the same frequency.

Yes, yes I do.

We have confirmed that the issues on the North American/European data center Worlds have resurfaced. Therefore, we have placed a severe login restriction in order to stabilize the servers.

While you may continue to have a difficult time logging into the game, please note that the issue is being addressed, and new updates will follow as additional information becomes available.

Your frustration is misplaced.

You should focus your whining/anger at the real source of the problem, which is SE's stubbornness in refusing to kick AFKers. People making the best they can of an incredibly shitty situation, even if not completely altruistic, is not a cause, it's a symptom.

Wow, I must give at least a little thanks to the OP for starting this thread. With the 7000+ views and the discussion going on, people must have really been taking it to heart.
I haven't been able to log in at all since Monday but last night, while there was a que I was at least able to log in.

It's hard to say if it's because of any network work on the NA side, or just 1000's of less people leaving their character AFK all day, but it seems to be making a difference. Thanks to everyone who stopped leaving their characters on, I don't mind waiting 30 minutes to get logged in, but 3 days was a bit too long without my fix.
