    Revision of Sever Queue?

    I am trying to "...wait until an opening is available and try again.". Difficulty is that there is no way for me to know when an opening is available. Therefore myself and others end up having to continually, whether interspersed or just spammed, push the buttons to log in over and over until luck finds us and we get in.

    Is it possible to change from this current system, to instead one which allows us to attempt to log in, and if full simply have the program slot us into queue when "opening is available"? I don't care whether it speeds the process up, I would however love to not have to actively flip between the main menu, log in, and loading screens every attempt at seeing if there is an opening. Leave us on one screen while we wait, meanwhile our client will ping the server in a controlled fashion and or move us through the waiting lineup with a little more ease of use and finesse?

    Perhaps these waits are soon to be a thing of the past. Perhaps not. This is just something that would make my use of the product far less a hassle and more user friendly.

    Thanks for your time.

    I really wish their "queue" system actually worked. Why can't I just attempt one login, it checks if the server is full, if it is, it places me in a queue. I don't care if I am player #1000 in a queue, I'd rather it say that and let me wait it out without spamming the 0 key to get back in. The queuing system works like 1% of the time.

    I get that they are working to alleviate the sheer capacity potential, and it isn't a Need for the system necessarily. That said, a large portion of their customers are experiencing it, and making it a less painful process directly affects everyone's ease of use. Maybe the server upgrades are going to be massive. Time will tell. That said I have been trying off and on for the past 3 hours to "wait until an opening is available and try again.". The message itself, especially when seen with such repetition is slightly... well lets say amusing.

    Even if it brought up a cycling auto login attempt every 30 seconds, minute whatever. Add a noise/accept on another timer to verify player is at keys and ready to play still.

    Nevermind, the process is still the same.
