[ebuu]

dear SE,

its not the right way to let 100k ppl play and 150k ppl to waste their time with trying to log in.

just shut all servers down and take your time to release a stable game

you had enough time for stress testing, didnt you saw these things coming?

im just pissed

Ignorance is awesome isn't it. If you reset the servers all the )*&^% people that are AFK in game will be logged out and the ones that are waiting to play can log in. Thinking about things logically is hard I know but try it sometime. You might surprise yourself.

Diplomacy is awesome as is diffusing a hostile situation. As Yoshida (who has a greater IQ than you) has stated, kicking AFK players would only have a placebo effect. You think kicking the small amount of AFK people will magically let the masses log in the game then you are really living in a fantasy world aren't you.

First off it's not a small amount of players afking. Looking in the main cities around the Main crystal just stand there and observe the movement. You have like 25-50 people there alone not moving for hours. Not to mention the number of people hiding AFKing out in the fields. Well they are fixing this soon. The people here that don't want the restart are the ones leaving their character in game for 5-9 hours while they go to work and stuff.

AFK kicking will eventually have to be implemented regardless. Increasing server capacity an extra few thousand players, will help, but people will still /afk as more accounts are created to avoid being in a queue or locked out to future 1017 (full server) errors.

There's a reason afk kicking is available in every mmo and that's to avoid this kind of situation. I don't know where you're getting a "small amount" (of people) from, it looks like a large portion of the population has learned to stay logged in as there are no consequences for doing so. Everyone in-game the last few days were recommending it in chat and I'm sure guilds are doing the same.

What did you just say about me, you imp? I graduated top of my class in the immortal flames, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Ifrit, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in thaumaturgy and I’m the top black mage in the entire company. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on Heydalyn. You think you can get away with saying that to me over the Internet? As we speak I am contacting my secret network of scions across Eorzea and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my scepter. Not only am I extensively trained in thaumaturgy, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and I will use it to its full extent to wipe you off the face of Eorzea. I will cast blizzard all over you and you will freeze in it. You’re dead, kiddo.

Shut the servers down and then turn them back on to kick all the AFK players so other people have a chance to log on. Sounds like a solid plan to me.

Its better business to let (i.e.) 1 million people "sample it" than it is to only let 150,000 out of 1 million get to try it, leaving 850,000 pissed off people.

yes????
