Petion for Server Rolling Restarts.

[Blarglesniff]

take 10-15mins Restart the servers in order to remove the afk people who are either Sleeping, at work, or just not even there because they know they don't get booted for being idle.

Lets open some spots up for players who actually want to play during the weekend before they have to go back to school/work, and don't have time to deal with this nonsense.

As much as I think this would work, I highly doubt it will happen.
Wednesday we shall see if the work pays off. Supposedly it will be fixed.

+1 .. this is unaceptable.. angry here!

Last time I was actually able to get on I couldn't even count all the people standing around the capitol Aether Crystal. Esp. in Ul'dah and Girdania.

well after 2hrs and 26mins of repeated attempts I finally made it into queue.....Best of Luck to all, and I am still in favor of restarts even though I am finally in game.

Is there a reason they haven't done it yet? I'm not the most network savvy guy on the planet. Are they afraid that after the reset the sudden flood of login spamming is going to cause a nuclear-level explosion or something?

[Kamina33]

Good idea.

Periodic restarts at random times (so AFKers can't prepare for it) until server/capacity is finally fixed.

I can't see why that hasn't happened already, honestly.

Who the hell knows. Shoulda been done already. I have been loggin in and out of Behemoth whole morning with no que's or whatever.
We still need AFK kicks, there are peoples afk in Gridania Aertheltyte.

The problem with a server restart to kick AFK players is this... Server Max is 5000 (Stable server limit, as stated in interview) - Say even 500-1000 are AFK and you have 4000 Players who aren't idle. You then would have 4000 people trying to log in at the same time. You would kill the Lobby server and thus create a whole new issue that already does arise from time to time without such things slamming it.

So while kicking AFK people may be a great idea, server restart in this condition right now would merely cause more problems and crash the server with mass log in from the players who aren't AFK.
