    Yes and no.

    the ability to create a new toon is locked on all NA/EU servers currently. So... no one can "add" to the congestion.

    This means they were forced to make new servers, for those millions TRYING the game new, buying now, or never able to get on in the first place. (have to create a home for them)

    This isn't going to fix our problem though- an already congested server will remain that way, even if a Player limit is raised, that many more players will just log in because they have been refreshing for days trying to get in, and the congestion will remain.

    AFK kick is the only way to relieve the congestion for "Really there, trying to play, and those just holding a slot"
    and to finish the job off, and do it right, a World Transfer Service needs to be initiated, so those willing to leave High Congestion can leave, and lower the congestion rate to help those players, and themselves.


    Without doing BOTH - the problem will only worsen as time goes by.

    AFk kicking is not going fix the problem.. if a server only hold 5k people and if 1/3rd is afk how the hell is opening up 1665 spots when you have 10,000 people or maybe even more trying to log in going to fix the problem? it wont.. it just means that were going to have full servers with just a little less amount of people being pissed off trying to get it.. They have to incease servers to hold double to triple the numbers they can hold now and add more worlds. With adding all that they there will be room for everybody and people wont have to afk to stay in the game cause there will be plenty of room for everybody..

    Ok first off your thinking "total numbers" not "Hey I played for 2 hours, now Iama go to work" and get kicked after 10 minutes.

    New spots would open every X minutes (determined by the kicker program on frequency of questioning)
    This means at any given X minute interval -SOME slots would open up, and SOME players could get in.

    This WOULD help the congestion greatly. Fix it ? No- we need to lock new char creation permanently and increase the cap until more then say 70% can log on at once.

    World Transfer Services will help the rest of the 30% never able to log in - simply moving char to another, less congested, server.

    yes I understand what people are doing but the problem is that that say even half the server is full of afk'ers right now and u kick them all that will open space up for other people, im not disagreeing with that.. but the problem is that there is way to many people trying to play were u do kick people that are afk it wont be enoff to make a difference ... the servers will still always be full and people wont be able to long in..

    So that is why if we incease all the server 2-3 time and add a afk then that would do the job.

    You aren't taking into account a very important fact that is at the heart of the AFK problem. Those slots are locked 24/7 by the AFK players. Normal players wouldn't be playing in their slots for 24 hours. They will be logging off and someone else would be able to log on in their place. When AFK's get booted, they would get pushed to the back of the queue so the newer log ins can get in. The same goes for active players---when they log off (or get booted) when they go to work/school/sleep/whatever, a new log in gets in.

    Even if it doesn't open up enough room for everyone to get on during prime time at once, it might at least allow them to get in the queue, so we know we have a shot at getting in after a short wait. I eventually got in last night after being queued at 591... so they've been working on that process accommodating more players getting in. The problem is that not enough people are getting off the server so the queue can work as intended.

    Ok but you guys are not taking into consideration something that is more important then the afkers.. The server has to many damn people trying to log in.. there are about 4-5 times the limit of the server can handle trying to log in.. so even if u boot every damn afker its still going to be backed up and getting server filled.. all afk kicks are going to do is allow a few more people to get in .. that's all.. how about trying to fix what the problem is.. lack of space for everybody so.. by inceaseing the server cap so everybody can get in and you can have all the afkers u want cause people can get in ... cause sooner or later those people who are afk that get kicked are joing to sign back on and then join the pool of everbody whos trying to get back in and keep the sever full.... you cant fit a 500 pound women who has a 100 inch waist into a size 5 thong...
