    1017 would be solved by kicking all AFK Players...

    Dear Square Enix,

    First off I'd like to say I love this game; and that's the reason why I signed up for beta (Phases 1-4) and that is also why I must say some things about the strange way you are handling too many people connecting to the gaming servers.

    1) The Queue:
    The Queue worked just fine in Beta - why get rid of it now? I'd be glad to wait for 2-4 hours to get into the game; just as long as I KNOW I'm in line to get in, and not receiving an error message basically telling me "Ooops our bad; can you try later?"

    2) AFKs:
    I bet there isn't a single player (who is on Sargatanas) that hasn't seen at LEAST 20-30 people just AFK around city LightStones or around major "Mission giving" Characters. How is it that the company responsible for Final Fantasy 11 would not think to provide a timeout (or kicking out of idle players) in this MMO as well?

    I believe that if you kicked out everyone that has sat around idling for at least 45 minutes these 1017 errors would appear about 75% less often. This is because all of these AFKs that are just congesting the cities and taking up vital server space would be gone; and people actually trying to play would be able to get in.

    Just needed to add my 2 cents as I'm a paying client of this game.

    Thanks,
    ~Shukero

    This so hard!

    When I used to actually be able to sign in within an hour or 12 on Sargatanas, I used to fear turning in quests because the congestion of idle/inactive players just stood in clumps. I just managed to get onto a queue only to then be 1017'd off of the queue?! I'm so bewildered

    its a great idea!... however, it could be circumvented by using auto run, a macro, or maybe even an ingenious device that presses random keys while you a AFK...

    There hasn't been a game made in the last 7 years that is fooled by that. They can tell if human input is happening.

    It's hard to blame people that just AFK for the night. Thanks to 1017 its terrifying to log out because you never know when or if you're going to be able to log in again.

    I don't understand why you would decide not to have this standard feature of time-outs to help manage server load.

    Yes, booting afk players would allow a greater chance of access, but it wouldn't resolve it. The servers are full immediately after being down. Square Enix screwed everyone by not properly gauging how many players would be accessing the game. It's entirely their fault, and I swear there must be a goddamned monkey running the show.

    Oh, and I love the message that says "We hope to have implemented more world capacity by next week." So vague. You HOPE....to have increased capacity by some time next week...could be Monday...Tuesday..Wednesday..Thursday..Friday...Saturday..Sunday... Who knows!!! But at least one vague message is better than none.

    In the meantime... 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017. 1017.

    That would make too much sense. They obviously dont subscribe to logic. Its been one mistep after the other. "we didnt know it would sell so well" . Ohh ok, sound reasoning....
