Institute Temporary AFK Kick Timer

[MStowastiqVahlshdeh]

I don't think as many people would be idling if they were not absolutely certain that they would not be able to get back in if they did actually log out.

Ha the level of butthurt and anger in this thread is hillarious glad i saw this coming and decided not to be an idiot yes an idiot and buy this product that is too popular at launch and decided to wait a month or two which i recomend all you butturt raging babies do the next time you just gotta have something so you wouldnt be sitting in a chair for hours spamming one button to get in a server LOL cant wait untill i do get this game i may "just logg in and out a few times smoothly without issues then come make post on the forums about it".

For those for whom this is their first MMO:

MMOs at launch need to be very careful about the amount of servers and capacity they have, because there are always about twice to three times as many people playing at launch than there will be after the first 30 days. And it's even higher for ARR because those that bought 1.0 didn't even have to pay for a box for ARR.

As such, they can't be overzealous about their servers because if they are, then they have to do server merges only a couple weeks or a month after launch, which would be ridiculous.

Here's some facts you just have to deal with:
-If you choose to play on a high pop server, you're going to have queues and lockouts. Period. That's the risk you take by choosing a high pop server.
-You have a choice to not play on a high pop server. You aren't "denied" playing the game. There is always a server you can log into and play.
-If you have friends on a high pop server and absolutely want to play with them, then you have basically two choices: deal with the waiting, or convince them to make temporary characters on a low pop server.

For those who have been through MMO launches before and are complaining anyway:

Shut up. You're being nothing but immature.

SE has stated that world transfers will be implemented mid september so it will be possible transfer character to a low pop server soon.

Why isn't there a pinned thread with this? There should be a poll or something. This is one of many threads created for this purpose and many agree with this. (Myself, for example)

An AFK logout needs to be implemented as quickly as one of the devs can type the code for it. For whatever reason, it was decided that players should be allowed to AFK 24 hours a day. People can't play with friends, can't join their guild's server. There are people that have been trying to log on since early access with no luck. A major factor in this debacle are the thousands of zombies hanging out by the aetheryte plazas.

There is no telling how long this fiasco will continue while waiting for servers to be installed, configured, and debugged...but what we do know is that these people will continue to AFK for hours as long as they aren't forced off the servers.

An AFK logout timer need only be a temporary addition to the game...but during this time of horrendous login and character creation restrictions it is definitely necessary.

This one afks because it wants to be able to play, it puts in the effort to wake up fight 1017 errors and get into the game to be able to play. Until the servers are upgraded to handle the immense capacity, this one will continue to afk rather than wasting 6-7 hours clicking ok.

My 60 dollar CE + monthly fees are the same as everybody elses.

If I choose to play my game, which I pay / paid for by standing in the city AFK 24 hours a day, that's my choice.

Im so sick of reading these forums about this. All it takes is patience and dedication to get in. You will get in. I do everyday, and yes, some days it takes longer then others. I highly doubt you spammed for 6 straight hours without getting in, exaggerate much?

Actually, I haven't paid a dime for this game since it launched 2 or 3 years ago. So, jokes on you and I won't be disappointed with the evaporation of your presence.

This isn't new to MMO world. All other games do this. If SE expected high logins they should of made a plan to relieve it.
